Croatian Automaker Rimac To Show Tesla Roadster Killer Sometime Next Year

The new Tesla Roadster concept promised impressive performance when it debuted just a few weeks ago; a top speed of 250+ miles per hour (402 kilometers per hour), a range of 620 miles (997 kilometers), and a 0-60 mph (96 kmh) time of just 1.9 seconds. While it remains to be seen if the electric supercar will ever reach the production line, another EV manufacturer promises a convertible that could be even better.

Rimac, the Croatian-based company responsible for the Concept_One, has suggested that an electric roadster of its own will be coming to market. In an interview with AutoGuide, Jens Sverdup – Rimac's distributor for the Americas – said that the electric convertible has been in the works for a number of years, and could debut as early as next year.

Rimac sounds like code speak for a risky intimate practice.
