Rimac electric-powered coupe Concept

Rimac displayed the electric-powered coupe at Top Marques Monaco where it announced pricing.
The Croatian company plans to build 88 examples of the Concept_One, each carrying a base price of €750,000 or about US$990,000 at today's exchange rates. 
Rimac says that the Concept_One tips the scales at 1,650 kilos (3,638 lbs) and can reach 100 km/h (62mph) from a standstill in 2.8 seconds while topping out at 305 km/h (190mph). According to the company, the 92kWh battery provides a driving range of up to 600 kilometers (373 miles).
The Concept_One's carbon-fibre body was designed by Adriano Mudri while the interior is the work of a team of former Pininfarina employees, led by Goran Popović, with Bulgarian design studio Vilner offering a helping hand.

While other competitors in this price range go for gasoline-powered engines, Rimac fitted the Concept_One with a complex electric driveline that includes four sub-systems, each consisting of one motor, inverter and reduction gearbox. Each of the four systems powers a wheel. The electric powetrain's combined output is 1,073hp (1,088PS) and 1,600Nm (1,180 lb-ft).

Audi R8 e-Tron All-Electric at Nürburgring

Our spies caught up with an undisguised prototype in production trim silently testing on the Nürburgring. The only thing missing from the test car are the chrome bars on the side vents under the barely noticeable modified LED headlamps, while the production car will also get a different set of wheels.
The prototype is fitted with a six-point grille that will also make its appearance on the soon-to-be-revealed facelifted 2013 R8. The e-Tron version can be identified by the special black cover that replaces the regular model's window, the deep scoop on the hood and the absence of exhaust pipes on the modified rear apron.
However, what really separates the e-Tron from the rest of the range is the electric driveline. The German supercar makes use of four electric motors, two each at the front and rear axles driving all four wheels, which will produce an estimated combined output of 230kW or 308hp (313PS).
Like the concept model, the production e-Tron will feature a lithium-ion battery that can be charged through any household outlet.
The R8 e-Tron will be built in a limited number of units with pricing in Europe believed to be in excess of €150,000 (US$200,000).
