Croatian automaker Rimac has designed a stunning all-electric concept car for the Geneva Auto Show that runs from March 3rd to 13th. With a beautiful design and solid specs, this car could be a serious contender in the increasingly crowded space of electric vehicles.

Here's what we know about the new electric sports car, dubbed the Concept_One:

The Concept_One is powered by four electric motors that are placed over each wheel.

It can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 2.6 seconds.

And it can reach a top speed of 185 miles per hour.

But there's no word yet on the car's range, which is truly what will determine how it compares to competitors.

All Rimac says about range is that the car has "a highly advanced high-performance battery pack that is designed for demanding track- use, high power delivery and safety."

Its more than 8,000 battery cells "ensures optimal conditions for a long battery life and long-term performance."

The car has a regenerative braking system, allowing for it to generate energy whenever it brakes.

The car is able to absorb 400 kW worth of energy when braking, giving it a chance to recharge while on the road.

Drivers can alter how the car drives via knobs on the central console that allow them to choose from one of four driving modes.

The four options available are comfort, control, track, and drift mode, plus the option to custom design a mode.

Only eight units of the Concept_One will be produced, so if you want one you better hurry.

There's no word on price or when you can place an order just yet, but we expect to hear more from the Geneva Motor Show. We'll update this post once we get more information.
