Mate Rimac is a Croatian entrepreneur who is known to have created batteries for some big boys in the automotive world such as Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, and Renault. Named 'Croatian Elon Musk', 31-year-old Rimac has gone ahead to build his own all electric hypercar which can sprint 60mph in 1.85 seconds while Tesla's Roadster does 60mph in 1.9 seconds.
Rimac C_Two was built by Croatian Elon Musk
The engineer named the car after himself, the Rimac C_Two. It delivers 1914hp that's coming from four permanent magnet motors. It spurs the Rimac C_Two to a top speed of 412 km/h (256 miles per hour)
Considering the fact that Rimac is a wizard in battery technology, Naijauto learned that the hypercar was given a range of 340 miles for each charge.
Aside from the fact that the all-electric car is extremely fast, it comes with Level 4 autonomy and facial recognition. It’s simply an entire driverless hypercar that can be driven in areas that are heavily built up.

Porsche's project leader has described Rimac as a genius to have come up with something super amazing like his 2000hp electric car. The brand has already bought an extra 5.5% share of Rimac to add up the 10% previously purchased in 2018.
While being interviewed about his latest success, Rimac said,
It's a lot of optimization, trying out things, experimenting, being fast, doing loops - idea, concept, simulation, detailed prototyping, again and again.
He built a Concept_One car in 2016 and slapped 1,224 hp on it.
