I think what helped the Ferrari at first is the instant torque from its electric motors, but the Rimac being fully electric doesn’t take long to overpass.
Christian Von Koenigsegg and Mate Rimac are some of my most favorite people in the world, they let their work speak for itself and they are so passionate and enthusiastic about it
I thought that was the best possible reaction to a Rimac until I saw this video. Matt had multiple crisis' in that 1st launch. And then the rolling race lmao he was taken by G's of surprise.
I honestly LITERALLY laughed out load at how bonkers this is, the SF90 is a beast but next to the Rimac…. it just seems like a sports car racing a supercar. Great work Rimac.
Ok.. but straight-line performance is the easiest to obtain... what about handling, breaks, etc? what about a lap time? I think when a super electric car beats a supercar on the track.. that will be the turning point. It's not far..
@@19NJS71 I actually think it's still far... Even hyper EV cars weight more than 2 tons to be even able to achieve this amount of horsepower, but this will only be good in a straight line... The 2.3 tons of the rimac wont help when trying to achieve lap time records. Even the Ferrari with 1/10th of the price of the rimac would probably win a track race
Rimac make a very good decision to let mat launch the car. Because he is very experienced in making drag races and he broke a record for them. Well done mat
Because he knows that despite it being the unofficial record, 8.6 is still slow compared to what the car can do on a drag strip with semi slick tires. :)

Mate spent his childhood in Frankfurt and towards the end of Nico Rosberg's C_Two video, he speaks accent-free german as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he spoke a few more languages on top of that.
Can you build us a better government in the U.S too. HaHa Republicans are scum, Biden is letting all the disgusting vermin flood in across the boarder.
@Ethan and Jack smoke poles and CT are a joke no it doesn’t you fool. Dragtimes recorded the SF90 doing a 9.6 flat on the street and it’s verified by GPS. The car is a consistent 9 second car. Learn your stuff.
Actually Matt disappointed me not going at least 300 km/h on rolling. Why??? You have this in all of the tests, but in this test it seems you just don't want to show the Rimac's max speed ... We are not stupid Matt). Show us the max speed of this car on longer distance).
That's a quick car. The only car I ever worked on that could beat it in the quarter was a fueler. But you can drive the Rimac to the track and listen to the radio while you're racing. Amazing.
We gotta give credit where is due , still fast ASF considering is a heavy 4 door sedan faster than the Ferrari SF90 doing a official 1/4 mile time of 9.23 at 152mph cleantechnica.com/2021/05/13/tesla-model-s-plaid-sets-a-new-1-4-mile-record-9-23-seconds/amp/ It beat the McLaren P1 and Lamborghini Huracan Performante at Laguna Seca and that's not even the Plaid+ with active aero and the Roadster.
@Chris D to be fair , he’s better now that BMW have developed a launch control system that actually works and doesn’t want to bonfire it’s tyres as soon as you sniff the throttle peddle 😂
9.6s standing quarter and utterly demolished. Ouch. Also, how chilled out is Mate Rimac. Love his little accent banter with Matt and the casual "oh, that's a world record"!
What’s surprising to me is that the Rimac isn’t actually “that” much heavier. Being a pure EV on that level of performance i’d assumed it was more than those 380ish Kilos. Matt and Rimac really managed something astonishing with that car, Record setting stats across the board, that combined, where previously thought to be impossible. But the Boss himself is out there proving that they didn’t settle for any compromises. What a time to be alive, right? (As if i’d ever even sit in one..)
Mate designed and built a bespoke rocket ship not using parts from other cars. It is a technical marvel with subassemblies we will never see finished and made beautiful because he understands that a great car is a rolling sculpture. Having said this there is talk of other ICE cars closing the gap should the race be lengthened to a mile or so. I could be confusing this with a comment about a Tesla Plaid as I think the Nevera motors up to a significant top speed. Thanks for making the video- it is always fun to watch Matt Watson set a world record even if they have to come back to do it officially…
rimac(ceo) raced on drag races.mat managed to make the best time with the car he sat in for the first time and make a better time than anyone from rimac cars. than what else is mat other than a great driver
@@ivim9592 Doesn’t make him a good driver, he did nothing different to get that time. Maybe he weighs less than Mr Rimac or whoever drove it. There’s literally nothing else to do, than mash your foot on the gas 🤣 A lap around the Nurburgring and you’d see that he’s really just an average driver
@@PJ-iz2nc OK try driving a 1000hp supra, for the first time you would be worried to floor it cause of the boost, but matt is used to these kind of acceleration so there's no fear, am I wrong?

@@agentp8045 I think perhaps you should do a little research on the back of that statement. No disrespect. If your argument was in support of a 992 Turbo S then I would be agreeing with you - however Ferrari pretty much coined the phrase of Hypercar with the Enzo and then La La...etc. Other people are successfully in the mix now and that's just fine. Rimacs and Koenig's cost more as they are very small companies - not owned by Fiat. By the same token the results of their development are even more admirable.
@@bubbazanetti4522 Yeah, the Roadster was presented 2017. Mid 2021, no sign of it at all. Maybe Elon is thinking of another nonsense thing to announce before he delays the car to 2027. While we just watched a vid of a Rimac casually doing an 8.6 on the street.
It would be interesting to see a drag race between this Rimac and a Koenigsegg Jesko or Regera. They are more in the same priceclass I think. For the 1/4mile my bet would be on the Nevera; 8,6sec is insane.
The way the Ferrari kept up for a couple of seconds with it's best start, it's going to be very close, and that would be very impressive for the Nevera
That’s what happens when it races a 2000 HP car lmao. What did you guys think would happen? This race was a paid promotion by Rimac. That’s like racing the SF90 against a BMW M3.
@Nic Sauter nevera still has a better power to weight ratio. Also the faster a car is traveling, the less weight it has. One more thing to remember is once the Ferrari reaches 210 Km/h the front axle motors turn off so it’s not quite 1000 hp all the time
@Nic Sauter The weight difference really struck me too, but not during the drag races. Those are just mainly down to power and they weren't all that surprising. However, nobody seems to be talking about the brake-test and that's what really stood out to me as totally insane. About 400kg heavier, yet still about the same stopping distance? I'd like to know about the tyre difference...
@@mikemoggerson6651 damn, you good? 🤣 obviously i knew that was going to happen, just the numbers are pretty damn clear about that but to see a 1k hp car get this kind of demolished by another car with a license plate is a bit insane to look at, wouldn‘t you agree?

Can we all just appreciate how damn cool Mr Rimac is, particularly considering he is speaking a second language. What a dude!
Mate spent his childhood in Frankfurt and towards the end of Nico Rosberg's C_Two video, he speaks accent-free german as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he spoke a few more languages on top of that.
And he's only 33. Feel like a complete failure being same age as him.

And because of that Matt was able to return the favour by setting a new record

@@mikemoggerson6651 Exactly
Actually Matt disappointed me not going at least 300 km/h on rolling. Why??? You have this in all of the tests, but in this test it seems you just don't want to show the Rimac's max speed ... We are not stupid Matt). Show us the max speed of this car on longer distance).
It's funny , 2 amazing cars but what i love the most is looking at the mountains in the background. Gods amazing work.
That is truly mind blowing, knowing how extremely fast the Ferrari is and seeing it look like a beetle compared to Rimac..
Yes but cost 4 time more , 2x more power , full Ev car , so it's not really fair play, at least they have to be similar prices

That's a quick car. The only car I ever worked on that could beat it in the quarter was a fueler. But you can drive the Rimac to the track and listen to the radio while you're racing. Amazing.

@@gabrielgingras814 like the difference between a 12'' cck and a 13'' cck... impressive, but also mostly useless.
What’s surprising to me is that the Rimac isn’t actually “that” much heavier. Being a pure EV on that level of performance i’d assumed it was more than those 380ish Kilos.
Matt and Rimac really managed something astonishing with that car, Record setting stats across the board, that combined, where previously thought to be impossible. But the Boss himself is out there proving that they didn’t settle for any compromises.
What a time to be alive, right? (As if i’d ever even sit in one..)
If you really put your mind to it. You can purchase one.

The comment i was searching for 🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
1 k hp vs 2 k hp
Mate designed and built a bespoke rocket ship not using parts from other cars. It is a technical marvel with subassemblies we will never see finished and made beautiful because he understands that a great car is a rolling sculpture. Having said this there is talk of other ICE cars closing the gap should the race be lengthened to a mile or so. I could be confusing this with a comment about a Tesla Plaid as I think the Nevera motors up to a significant top speed. Thanks for making the video- it is always fun to watch Matt Watson set a world record even if they have to come back to do it officially…
Ferrari: Does a 9.6

No need to. Gemera is intended to be a hyper 4 seater saloon. Of course Rimac will be faster on 400m. Duh

Yes but I will still prefer Ferrari in anyway except one thing get rimac and sell it straight a way
@@ioannispasaloukos4885 maybe sf90 is faster around a track and better handling. The rimac is blooming around 2.4 tons and is about straight line speeds

@@barzac ferrari doesnt make any hypercar. It is something a value for the money compared to rimac.
@@agentp8045 I think perhaps you should do a little research on the back of that statement. No disrespect. If your argument was in support of a 992 Turbo S then I would be agreeing with you - however Ferrari pretty much coined the phrase of Hypercar with the Enzo and then La La...etc. Other people are successfully in the mix now and that's just fine. Rimacs and Koenig's cost more as they are very small companies - not owned by Fiat. By the same token the results of their development are even more admirable.
The look on Matt's face when he hit the throttle pretty well says it all. I wonder if your vision goes blurry lol

Ferrari for ever
It would be interesting to see a drag race between this Rimac and a Koenigsegg Jesko or Regera. They are more in the same priceclass I think.
For the 1/4mile my bet would be on the Nevera; 8,6sec is insane.
The way the Ferrari kept up for a couple of seconds with it's best start, it's going to be very close, and that would be very impressive for the Nevera
It'd be interesting to see the Rimac vs a UGR Lambo over 1/2 a mile and a mile
Half mile would be a better run... Koenigsegg is one of my favorite car companies, but they aren't designed for 1/4..
Rimac. I’ve seen one in my lifetime. It was a Merc. That car is insane. I really enjoyed this video. Well done.
That ferrari would be the fastest car EVER on carwow wouldnt it ! , and this rimac makes it look slow 🤯
never seen a 1000hp car look so slow before
Imagine being left virtually standing still while full-throttle in a 1000hp car 🤣
That’s what happens when it races a 2000 HP car lmao. What did you guys think would happen? This race was a paid promotion by Rimac. That’s like racing the SF90 against a BMW M3.
@Nic Sauter nevera still has a better power to weight ratio. Also the faster a car is traveling, the less weight it has. One more thing to remember is once the Ferrari reaches 210 Km/h the front axle motors turn off so it’s not quite 1000 hp all the time
@Nic Sauter The weight difference really struck me too, but not during the drag races. Those are just mainly down to power and they weren't all that surprising. However, nobody seems to be talking about the brake-test and that's what really stood out to me as totally insane. About 400kg heavier, yet still about the same stopping distance? I'd like to know about the tyre difference...
@@mikemoggerson6651 damn, you good? 🤣 obviously i knew that was going to happen, just the numbers are pretty damn clear about that but to see a 1k hp car get this kind of demolished by another car with a license plate is a bit insane to look at, wouldn‘t you agree?
