The Rimac C_Two isn't just a hypercar, it's an electric GT hypercar, it must be comfortable for long journeys but faster than most purpose-built racing cars on the track. The suspension has been key to achieving this balance, and after years of computer testing and physical trials the C_Two is now in its final stages of suspension fine-tuning.
In partnership with KW Suspension, the C_Two's dynamic behaviour has been calibrated over and over again on some of the world's most demanding racetracks, all without moving an inch. On KW's four-poster rig, the team can recreate the complete length of travel, full range of frequencies and all different damper speeds experienced by C_Two on any given road or race track.
The passive parts of the suspension and the C_Two's chassis delivered near-perfect results during KW's testing, but the tuning of the controllable components will allow engineers to achieve the final 1% of capability. The controllable suspension is so sensitive and fast to act that if sensors on the front axle notice a high rate of acceleration, the rear suspension will react even before it feels the shock of that acceleration.
Following this latest test, the C_Two prototype will go through another round of physical on-track testing to ensure the behaviour can be recreated in the real world ahead of the start of the final production cars, with the C_Two set to be fully revealed later in 2021.
