Croatian automaker Rimac has been on the radar of performance car enthusiasts ever since the Concept One broke cover back in 2011. Even as the carmaker’s second model C_Two with 1,914 horsepower and 2,300Nm is going limited production of 150 units, Rimac threw a challenge to designers around the world to come up with a vision of how a Rimac product would look like in the year 2080.

Advanced autonomous driving systems are understandably standard for this car of 2080. Human override of control is possible though.

Considering the rate at which technology and design are evolving, a car from 2080 could look nothing like this, but if it actually does, it sure is great news for those alive then!
