Chattanooga has it, and soon Zagreb may have it too: Yesterday, Hravatski Telecom, the Croatian unit of Deutsche Telekom, demoed its TeraStream network capable of 1Gbps, with a 400Gbps network capacity. Cisco is supplying the network solution, which is based on the IPv6 protocol and provides voice, IPTV and Internet access. As is so often the case with new blazing networks, TeraStream is still in the pilot phase, with user-experience testing in the country's capital carrying into 2013. Those of you who speak Croatian can skip past the break for an explanatory video from HV.

Rimac quells Concept_One doubters, shows its EV supercar’s pedal to the metal (video)

Image

O ye unfaithful, believe. For those of you who saw Rimac's preview of its Concept_One electric supercar and were skeptical of that claimed 2.8-second 0-62MPH time given all the leisurely putting around, the Croatian automaker has followed up with a video proving that this isn't your daddy's EV. It turns out that the 1,088HP-equivalent motor is quick enough to leave a lot of rubber on the tarmac, thank you -- both from a very enthusiastic start and from a healthy amount of drifting. This won't change the need to both drop $980,000 and get in quick on that 88-unit production run, but if you were worried that there wouldn't be a torch-bearer for high-speed EVs during the Tesla Roadster's hiatus, Rimac just put that anxiety to bed.

Rimac Concept_One EV now a reality: cash in those stock options (video)

Rimac Concept_One EV now a reality: cash in those stock options (video)

If you don't have a sonorous v-something under the hood guzzling gas, do you still have a supercar? Judging by the nearly one million large needed to buy its Concept_One high performance EV, Rimac clearly thinks so. Since our last dalliance with the sinuous eco-powerhouse, the Croatian maker has announced that it's producing 88 units priced at $980K each -- with its carbon fibre body, 1088 HP, 190 mph top speed, and 2.8 second 0-62 mph time all still intact. Sure, there's no Lamborghini rumble, but at those speeds you'll be gone so quickly no one would appreciate it anyway. Watch it cruise sedately in the video after the break.
