2018 Geneva Motor Show: Rimac and Corbellati present exceptional hypercars

By RELAXNEWS | 8 March 2018


GENEVA: Visitors to the Geneva Motor Show - which opens to the public today - can admire some of the world's finest supercars and hypercars.

There are also several curiosities to discover this year, including two exceptional new vehicles promising power-packed performance, the Rimac Concept Two and the Corbellati Missile.

Croatian carmaker Rimac packs a punch with the Concept Two and its off-the-scale performances. It has a 1,408kW (equivalent to 1,914hp) electric motor with a top speed of 412kph and record-breaking 1.85-second 0-100kph acceleration.

Rimac is only expected to produce 100 of these supercharged cars, estimated to sell for just over a million euros each.

For its part, Italian car firm Corbellati claims another record for its "production" vehicle with a top speed of 500kph. While its design nods to the stylish Italian sports cars of the 1960s, its 1,800-horsepower V8 biturbo engine belongs to a new era of speed.

Other than this headline-grabbing announcement, the fledgling carmaker is yet to comment on expected production and price.

Note that visitors to the Swiss show will have to make do with admiring these cars while stationary rather than in action.
