This presentation was made at the NAFEMS Americas Conference "Simulation in the Automotive Industry: Creating the Next Generation Vehicle" held on the 16-18 March 2021.

The automotive engineering community is now confronting the largest technology transformation since its inception. The demand to manufacture cleaner, safer, and smarter vehicles, along with providing an overall enhanced driving and ride experience, has never been higher. As a result, engineering teams must discover, evaluate, and successfully implement leading-edge technology and methods to produce reliable, effective results.

Hence, the challenges for automotive engineers are enormous and require a significant increase in the upfront use of numerical simulation capabilities, methods, and processes such that they’re able to efficiently design, manufacture and deliver these innovative technologies to market in greater speeds than ever before.

Resource Abstract

This presentation is an overview of engineering efforts invested in developing one of the world's most powerful hypercar for the roads worldwide. In the development of the Rimac C_Two we started from scratch and majority of components was designed, engineered and manufactured in-house. We set out on a mission to create the next generation hypercar, integrating latest technology in electric powertrain, battery design, IVI, autonomous driving and more. Huge part of development was done using different simulation techniques which allowed fast virtual prototyping and smaller amount of development tests. C_Two is technologically most advanced hypercar, truly showcasing our capabilities.
