Is the Rimac C_Two the fastest accelerating production car?

It looks like the BRZ/86 has been dethroned.

Dethroned from what? I'm not impressed by cars that you step on and go 100 in a couple of seconds......

Nope. Not the fastest. My friend has a stock Acura legend that would blow the doors off of that junk. Factory freak maybe. He wants to keep the miles low so nobody has seen it rip but I trust him

Nice 1/4 mile time, really impressed.

First time I saw the Stradalle on the street, the driver was acting like a child (I would probably do the same on the 1st day) and doing short bursts.

I giggled a little when the one test I want to see any fast EV do was actually used for this car.
2 laps around the ring with little to no drop in performance.

High end EV go fast in a straight line?
Who cares.

Have it do multiple laps around a track and not go into limp mode because of overheating?
That's impressive.

Now we need The Hamster to test drive it.

Mate Rimac seems like a nice guy and has a sense of humour. This fire extinguisher was in a video clip.
