The vehicle came in just short of the leader generally going up against ICE vehicles. The driver was the various Pikes Peak victor Nobuhiro Tajima.
After a progression of steady enhancements, the last form of the vehicle was presented at the March 2016 Geneva Motor Show. In 2017, the Concept One participated at the Goodwood Festival of Speed just because, breaking the EV speed record on a timed track.

All the 4 electric motors generate a massive power output of 1224 horsepower (1,241 PS; 913 kW) and 1,600 N⋅m (1,180 lb-ft) of torque and a 90 kWh Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide battery powers them, giving the Rimac Concept One an electric range of 217 miles (349 km).
Dual clutch two speed transmission powers the rear electric motors and front motors are powered by the single speed transmission system.
There were performance increments in the Rimac Concept One presented at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show: the acceleration time from 0-62 mph was optimized from 2.6 seconds to 2.4 seconds and an increase in the electric range from 330 to 350 kilometers (205 to 217 miles).
Rimac Concept one accelerates as fast as the Bugatti Chiron does. The hyper car takes 2.5 seconds to accelerate from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h), 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in 6 seconds, and 300 km/h (186 mph) in 14 seconds.
