What Is An Automatic Braking System?

Automatic braking is a safety technology that automatically activates the vehicle’s brake system, to some degree, when necessary. Systems vary from pre-charging brakes, to slowing the vehicle to lessen damage. Some advanced systems completely take over and stop the vehicle before a collision occurs. It is critical that drivers understand the exact capabilities of their car’s automatic braking system. Regardless of a vehicle’s autonomous technologies, drivers should remain aware of ...

AWD vs. 4WD: What's the Difference?

The automotive world is full of misinformation, old myths, and half-truths, and nowhere is that more apparent than in conversations about the drivetrain. Front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive are your options. Each have advantages and disadvantages that should be understood by smart auto shoppers. And while most shoppers understand the difference between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive, the distinction between four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive can ...

Electric Hypercar Crushes LaFerrari and Tesla Model S in Race

Electric Hypercar Crushes LaFerrari and Tesla Model S

rimac-one-hero-1

I first wrote about the Rimac Concept One hypercar three years ago. Since then, there hasn’t been a whole lot of news regarding the car, but a new video from Archie Hamilton Racing’s YouTube channel showcases the electric hypercar.

To test the Concept One’s capabilities, the team paired it up against the brutal acceleration of the Tesla Model S P90D and the incomparable LaFerrari. If you’re unaware of the Concept One’s abilities, in the three-year-old article I noted that the car is powered by a 92-kWh battery that sends energy to four sets of electric motors at each of the wheels. This power created equals out to around 1,088 bhp and 1,180 lb-ft of torque. With a kerb weight of 4,188, the Concept One can rocket from 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds (in the old article it’s stated that its 0-68 time is 2.8, but the website now says 2.6).

Does this new hypercar have the ability to take down the Model S and LaFerrari? If you’ve read the title, then you know the answer. Check it out below!

Rimac Concept One vs Porsche 918

Rimac Concept One vs Porsche 918: The Future is Here

porsche-rimac-concept-one-1

I feel as though we’re at a point in time where I don’t need to tell the world how fast the Porsche 918 Spyder is. We’ve seen the 918 on the track, on the road and just about everywhere else, and we’ve seen it top speeds of well over 200 mph. Let’s face it, the 918 Spyder is one of the world’s fastest cars. But, so is the Rimac Concept One.

(Related – Electric Hypercar Crushes LaFerrari and Tesla Model S in Race)

Unlike the previously mentioned German supercar, not many people know about the Concept One, but they certainly will soon. This electric supercar is powered by an 82 kWh Lithium-Iron-Phosphate battery and electric motors at each wheel. Together, the car is good for 1,088 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. All of that power gives the supercar the ability to run 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds.

So how does it stack up against the already legendary 918 Spyder? Click play on the latest Bangin’ Gears episode found below.
