Move over Tesla. A new option has emerged for the driver who craves an absurdly fast electric car -- the Concept_One from Croatian automaker Rimac Automobili.
The Concept_One accelerates from zero to 96 kph in 2.6 seconds. It reaches 193 kph in 6.2 seconds and has a top speed of 335 kph. Quite simply, it will leave a Tesla in the dust.

The car isn't just fast. A quick look at the Concept_One gives away the fine craftsmanship. No parts in the interior are plastic. Rimac opted for carbon, aluminum and alcantara, a high-end fabric found in yachts and Formula 1 cars.
Rimac hails its new creation as the super car of the 21st century. There's just one problem -- we have a very suspect definition of what a "super car" really is.
