If we've even got used to the brutal crash-test images made by Euro NCAP to “common” models, the truth is that seeing the same type of tests being made to hypersports is still a rare image.
Well, after a few months ago we showed you how Koenigsegg tested the safety of the Regera without going bankrupt, today we bring you a video where you can see how Rimac tests the safety of the C_Two so that it can be approved in various markets.
As Rimac explains in the video, tests start with virtual simulation, followed by full-scale testing of specific components, and only then are complete models put to the test, first as experimental prototypes, then as prototypes, and then end, as pre-production models.
a long process
According to Rimac, the C_Two development project has been going on for three years and, as Koenigsegg had already confirmed, testing the safety of the models is quite expensive for a builder dedicated to producing very few units, thus forcing them to look for solutions creative.

One was to reuse the same monocoque in the first round of high-speed crash tests with an experimental prototype (just like Koenigsegg did with the Regera). This led to a single monocoque being used in a total of six tests, proving at the same time its high resistance.
The end result of all these security tests done to the Rimac C_Two the brand's engineers pleased and the truth is that, if we take into account that its predecessor, the Concept_1 was already safe (as Richard Hammond says) everything leads to believe that the C_Two should pass with distinction any security tests that it may be subject.
