When Croatian carmaker Rimac Automobili unveiled its Concept_One (http://mashable.com/2016/02/24/worlds-fastest-electric-car/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial), the world's fastest electric vehicle (EV) this spring, we were blown away by both its design and performance figures.

Thing is, though, sometimes having the best specs doesn't always translate into real-world speed and performance. But in Rimac's case, it does.

On Tuesday morning, Archie Hamilton released a video depicting a drag race between the Concept_One, and both a Tesla Model S P90D (http://mashable.com/2015/10/05/2016-tesla-model-s-p90d-review/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) and Ferrari LaFerrari (http://mashable.com/2016/07/05/ferrari-open-top-laferrari/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) — two of the fastest EVs around.*

For a refresher, the all-electric Concept_One is said to have 1,088 horsepower. The Model S P90D produces around 532 horsepower. And the LaFerrari's V12 engine and onboard electric motor together churn out 950 horses. Read more...
