# Rimac is Bringing a Custom California Edition of its New Hypercar to Monterey Car Week

After debuting its [second electric hypercar at the Geneva Motor Show](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/19050/rimacs-new-electric-hypercar-has-1888-hp-hits-60-mph-in-under-two-seconds>) earlier this year, Croatian EV manufacturer Rimac Automobili [announced](<https://www.rimac-automobili.com/en/press/releases/rimac-brings-the-party-to-monterey-car-week/>) that the C\_Two hyper-EV will be present at Monterey Car Week, dressed in California garb. No, we're not talking about vintage shades and a Supreme shirt.

The California Edition Rimac C\_Two features a bright blue paint job and different wheels, plus a larger trunk that is designed to fit two six-liter champagne bottles and a pair of champagne flutes. Rimac says this edition was inspired by Monterey's breathtaking oceanside views and Car Week's high-class events, so this C\_Two should be able to effortlessly mingle with the aristocrats that flock to California for the week-long show.

Prospective buyers and those with the right connections will get private viewing of the car throughout the week, but everyone can see the California Edition C\_Two on display at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering on August 24 and then at Exotics on Cannery Row the next day.

The C\_Two takes what was great about the [ill-fated Rimac Concept\_One](<https://www.thedrive.com/video/11434/just-what-is-the-rimac-concept_one-richard-hammond-crashed-anyway>) and cranks it up a few notches, delivering 1,888 horsepower and 1,700 pound-feet of torque through four electric motors powering the wheels. This helps it rocket from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.85 seconds and can reach a top speed of 258 mph. With all that performance, it can still drive 404 miles on a single charge and it allegedly features [Level 4 autonomy](<https://www.thedrive.com/self-driving-cars/15724/what-are-these-levels-of-autonomy-anyway>). Just 150 C\_Twos will be built, each costing more than $2 million.

If you can't make it to Monterey Car Week this year, the C\_Two will be at the [Petersen Automotive Museum](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/21333/full-size-lego-mclaren-720s-on-display-at-petersen-automotive-museum>) in Los Angeles until August 19 before it heads to Pebble Beach's famed car show. Just don't let Richard Hammond anywhere near it.
