Finally someone who says "Rimac" right
Umesto da pročita to kao Rimak 😄
@@danilozivanovic03 Yeah I mean, it's the American media, if you read Rimac from an English perspective you'd say Rimack
Mate Rimac said in one of his interviews that his car is pronounced with the letter K (kay; ka, kei:) and not with a C (cee; ce; si:). So, different than his last name. In this video the man said Rimac (cee; ce; si:) automobili. I don't know is it correct or not , since it's the name of the company, but deffinetely the car is not Rimac (cee; ce; si:) but Rimac (kay; ka; kei:). Mate said so.
@@javanava8925 No, its not. Its Rimac, with a C not a K. English speaking jurnalists did that.
@@javanava8925 look...you have no idea what tf you're talking about...he said its Rimak just bc he didn't want to explain over and over again in evert interview...
Cool video! Thanks a lot for the analysis and the kudos. It feels great that people appreciate our work. The design of both cars comes from Adriano Mudri, who is with me from day one. He designed the exterior of the C1 completely on his own, after his day job at GM - as there was not really a company at the time. The former Pininfarina guys helped with the interior as we were on a tight timing to finish the car. But we later had to redesign the whole interior for technical reasons. Now Adriano is heading a design department with 20-ish people, but the C2 design came again from him, with the team executing his style direction. Your observation about the visible carbon part on the door is interesting - I think we decided against it for the C2 as it is not really possible to make a clear line between the painted and visible carbon part on the same part (not two separate parts) so it looked a bit messy when you are close. But I'll check it with Adriano why we made that decision exactly. As for the C2 overhang - that is mostly a result of crash regulations - we need a certain length to absorb the impact force, and as you said, there is lots of stuff in the front (4 radiators/cooling systems, Lidar, radars, ultrasonic sensors, active aero...). Great to have such a feedback - thanks a lot again!
Svaka cast Mate! Ti si ponos Hrvatske.
Mate.wenn ich könnte würde ich dir ein Denkmal bauen,aber früher oder später bekommst du so oder so ein.für mich bist du eine Wahnsinns Inspiration,Hut ab maestro.
Dal me zezas da si odgovorio
Carbon the doors!
@Mate Rimac interesting video about two very interesting cars. Please don't give C2 to Hammond or someone like him. I am interested in bike you made exactly Greyp G6. Is there any chance for me to get it for day or two to try it? As I remember I saw one in my city driven by guys from Nsoft.
The side graphic on the Concept One is in the shape of a neck tie, which is a Croatian invention :D
Yes and they even have a shirt
Don't think that was the intention 😂 but still cool
@@panda1412. yes it was :)
@@panda1412. actually it was...
@@panda1412. I believe the warriors in Napoleon's army from Croatia (my country) wore neck ties to identify themselves easier. So ties are actually a Croatian invention, hence the name 'kravata'.
The thing you like on the side profile is the tie because it is a symbol of Croatia
@@David-fv8zu and portuguese; gravata. 😉
@@David-fv8zu In Persian also we call it "Kravat".
@@David-fv8zu It's kravat in Turkish too.
@Mer Kin The Roma were having shootouts with Kalashnikovs on a schoolyard. Really. Is it any wonder that the parents of the kids are pissed off?
And "Chorwacja" in Polish (with a short " h", because there can be "ch" taken as "h" in our language)
When Richard Hammond isn’t crashing it looks quite stunning.
He was just showing us what the bottom of the car looks like
Lol
@@Mercilessonion Exactly, better than using a Lift.
@@Mercilessonion he was surprised with power and says it is beast... Fastes car on planet, electric without sound.... Best batteries, largest auto houses as lamborghini work with Rimac

One thing i really like about the Concept One is how far back the greenhouse is. It both looks front and midengined at the same time, which makes sense, since its neither.

I happen to speak both Croatian and Swedish and I can tell you all that this guy is not only a remarkable desiger, but excellent in pronouncing both Rimac and Königsegg the proper way. Hats off! Don't speak Italian, but the Italian pronounciations sounded right on too. I'd say this is one uniquely talented American. In several ways...
I am pretty sure he's Swedish
The C1 looks a lot more modern & classy. The C2 seems more dated, like a McLaren F1 GTR Longtail (from mid-90s). Still good, but I prefer the C1's aesthetic.
I wouldn't call it dated, because there's nothing old fashioned about its design, but I agree that it's more of a function-over-form design.
Looks like a bodykit and that is dated, the C1 looks modern and elegant
This C2 looks better to me than the C1.
@@TheTmat007 Can't argue with your reasoning 🌝
@@ArnoldQMudskipper
Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. And looks is subjective, of course. But I think often times it is because we've developed a bond with objects we're accustomed to, that we tend to view them as being better than their replacement. Most of the time a new car model replaces an old one, people tend to think the old one looked better.
I agree with you on the Scandinavian feel of the Concept 1, it almost feels like it's what it would have looked like if Saab made a hypercar.
Something like the Saab Aero X Concept?
Damn it would be pretty sick if Saab return with hypercar
I was at the Rimac Factory tour in Zagreb, very impressive. The staff at the company are really nice.
Its in town of Sveta Nedelja actually, but yes, close to Zagreb. Tour is quite the scene and touring crew is super friendly and great!
Rimac automobili, you pronunciation was on point, got goosebumps. First youtuber ever that got it right
I don't know about you, but The Concept One's design strikes me as timeless! I followed the brand ever since the very early development days (wow! That's closing in on a decade! Time flies!) And no matter how many times I look at the Concept one, It doesn't get old!
0:32 holy sh#t he is the first non croat to pronounce the name right on youtube!
or rather non slav
Any croats here? :)
Btw your pronounciation is on point!!!
Yam from croatia hahhahha
No I don't think so:
Actually I prefer concept 1. It’s elegant and beautiful road car. C2 overdesigned like some track car.
Correct pronunciation
of the name and a great review. Cheers from Zagreb, Croatia!
Mate's girlfriend is actually from my town, so I see a Concept One pretty damn often

The C1 i think that is much better designed. The simplicity of the lines remembers me somehow to the great Jaguar XJ220. I don't know why. Beautifull.
That's Pearl of Adriatic(Dubrovnik City),my hometown on 00:30.Cool video.Greetings to everyone from Croatia.
When Richard Hammond was driving the rimac concept 1 it looked lit!
Lol
The entire comments section in a nutshell: Richard Hammond had crashed a Rimac Concept:One.
like these guys we're experts of some shit, cause everyone's we're too young to remember Hamster's dragster crash that nearly costed his life
But did you know that Richard Hammond crashed one of those?
5:11 the carbon graphic on the side represents the necktie, for which invention Croatia is known for. The little gap towards the end, which is the cover for the socket, represents the knot.
Also, when was Concept_One designed, it took just 6 months to design it, but they skipped the clay modelling.. they model it from sketches directly to computer, where it resulted some proportion measure look off, as for roof lines. They fast it to manage to deliver the car to 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
I'm from Croatia and I LOVE Rimac cars. I've seen both C1 and C2 in real life and I prefer the C2. I think it is the most beautiful hypercar available now.
I live 58 kilometres from his factory and I was fan of his green BMW when he stole every drag race in country with it. It was geek dude, like many other, publishing shaken handheld videos, like many others. Every one talked he will also refit EV motors to his crappy drag-box. But than a one tiny difference between Mate and all others: HE DID IT. Not once, not being happy with 1st place doing over and over and one day revealed what he is developing. It is so remarkable for a regular guy to skyrocket himself and stay there with no intention to come back. I could think why he succeeded so much so fast. In countries that came out from Yugoslavija (Mate's Croatia and mine Slovenia especially) it only two way exists: remain average low or rocket lift yourself to the stars. There is no middle path of steady progress. Environment is so hard to accept ones's success that inertia to raise above is endless. There is saying we forgive others everything including murder, but success not. His chance was only make the best product no one suspected he is doing and no one saw before. I'm fan of him, his vision and his determination, which in uncommon for the area we live in. At least for me, he is outstandingly inspiring person. I will forever be influenced by his success in a good way, much like from the Christian von Koenigsegg, but knowing Mate's factory is 30 minutes highway drive from me, I can feel him more. As far as I know he is still regular guy, that happens to make one of the best hyper car on the world.
Ahh Dubrovnik. I've been there. Beautiful city.
Is nobody going to mention how he looks just like Mate Rimac?
Luke Agajanian Omg😂😂
Lmao
haha not at all, their only similarity is the mustache and the beard :D
He sort of looks like Salomondrin
He is his halfbrother.
I wish to see more videos like this one and the Keonigsegg video, where you discuss the defining design of a brand. Also i freaking love Rimac, i loved Rimac since i was a child and i saw the concept one when it was revealed, the design was counter intuitive at the time.
ok, now you made me love Rimac. Thank you and hi from Italy!
love to hear someone big talking about my small country
The word and clothing "Cravate" originated in medieval France when some French fashion designer and influencer at the time saw something like a red scarf tied in a knot, that was part of the uniform of Croatian horsemen soldiers.
@@don_fren in croatian is kravata lol
@@don_fren it became the name. Just like croissant. I don't think one should consider this word as "stolen". More like...dedication?
I have a cool challenge for you :D. Imagine you're making a new car company. You want a sedan, an estate, an SUV and a supercar. Try think of a design styling that could be shared between them and ofc sketch them.
Good luck! :D
Really impressive how this little company pulls out such a stunning sports EV, without the colossal R&D assets of big manufacturers. I mean... I will have this over a Taycan anyday. And it goes further than a Taycan too.
and cost at least 10x more
to be fair the Taycan is a mass produced car that is also much much cheaper
@@t-bone9239 taycan have rimac battery
Josip Radić Batteries by Rimac but not the batteries from the Rimac Conept 2 I think
So I’ve seen both the concept 1 and 2 in real life, and they are SO TINY. Especially the concept 1. Couldn’t be any longer than an Audi TT.
then you must be trippin' :D
Marty Nguyen no, he’s actually right. It’s weird to think of this car as so small, but the dimensions are actually very similar, it’s only a few inches longer and about the same width as a TT.
You said everything they said to my class in the factory tour, great video!
Croatians are pretty good at building quality stuff. My Croatian built fire arms have yet to fail , and ive never even had to adjust the factory sight settings. laser accuracy out of the box.
HS Produkt, they make some of the best guns in the world, so much so that even the Americans buy them.
wow! I'm living in Serbia, and didn't know about "Rimac"!
i'm not into cars though, but neighbor country doing something so cool :D its so nice!
It realy is cool, I've been in their manufacturing facilities as a part of school trip and they are very open with what they do, we got to see everything (carbon compressing, chasy being made, battery assembly, controlers...) except the painting process because of the strict no contaminants policy.
Love both of the concepts, the second one is simply stunning, so impressive when you think no one had heard of this company a year or so ago.
They are confident and very well resolved designs.
Awesome car!
Great detail at 8:52, custom made Pastor fire extinguisher.
Cool video, 'Rimac' finally spoken right
13:00 is showing a Croatian invention: Tie (Cravat). But anyway I’m thankful for a perfect description. Proud to be a 🇭🇷
Finally someone mentions the i8 like rear lights!
Kudos for not mispronouncing the name. 😁
Also, I love the humor of whoever did the sketches of the C1, the label on the tires saying “vrlo brze gume”, which translates to “very fast rubbers”... 😂
The C_Two has a fire extinguisher strapped to a belt that says "In case of hillclimb extinguish fire" as a hommage to Richard Hammonds hillclimb accident😂
How do I add an emoji of a facepalming Pomme?
Mate is a close personal friend of mine. He's killing the game right now.
Lucky bastard !
(If that's true of course)
One day at work, I had finished watching the C1 unveiling. Impressive.
Then Mr Rimac walk by my desk with one of our engineers. I had no idea who this guy was an hour before that.
Talk about a spooky coincidence. That's when those amazing stats of the C1 started to make sense.
I'm a fan of Rimac Automobili but wholeheartedly agree with your views on the Concept Two. From a purely aesthetic opinion, the front over hang does look a little too long from it's side view. Some elements I prefer from Concept One because I love fastback cars, the overall stance and simple lines but both look great imo!
I was waiting for you to say the rear side view of the C2 reminds you of an Agera because that's what I always think whenever I see it!! 👏
That big graphical area on sides at both Concept One and Two are key feature on Rimac cars and it`s simbolise our country Croatia which is represented thru necktie (Croatian: Kravata). The word "cravat" is derived from the à la croate-in the style of the Croats.
Dude you are the first one who pronounced it correctly, Respect.
On the C2 there's a strap where it says "In case of a hillclimb"
It's the strap on the fire extinguisher, reference to the Concept 1 which caught fire after Richard Hammond crashed during a hillclimb
Даниил Мартынов ik
Yes, I'm big fan of Mate Rimac and also, I must say I can't agree more with everything you've said. Mate is genius and your review is very very good, great car images, very well and nicely explained what you will change. Thanks, and keep up good reviews
12:36 Black part represents kravata. This is something that came from Croatia and you know it as a tie.
Oh wow the symmetrical mirroring of the Shoulder Line on the C_One is a gorgeous concept. Thanks for pointing that out.
I've got to admit from a Serbian point of view
The Croatians have done a brilliant job
I'd personally prefer the concept one
Mate is Bosnian.
@@ivanvard6129 Yes, he's a Croat from Bosnia = Bosnian.
Classic Pininfarina design really shines through! Your are correct about the front over hang, it's a little long! They had to raise the front spoiler up so it wouldn't hit down every entrance to a parking lot or dip in the road!
Props to good pronunciation. Great vid.
I Love the consept one design, it was an TRUE electric Super car design, it was bigger wheel, sexy tale light, beautiful Silver and black combination and unique styling!!! If i Have ability to buy this beauty then i would Order the concept 2's power but c1's body styling...
Hindustan ambassador redesign would be INSANE😂🔥🔥🔥
Yes
Yes, as long as its an evolution and not a revolution.
I agree
Morris Oxford: Am I a joke to you
@@the_goblin2511 no, you lived on as the HM Ambassador.
Met Mata Rimac at the car show in Zetra-Sarajevo at the presentation of Concept One. He was completely alone at the booth. I was driving my four-year-old son and Mato and I talked and inspected the car for half an hour. I sat in Concept One and tried out every button. Mate is a great character. He never looks around from high up. We talked about the technological part of the car as if I had the technical knowledge of its caliber. Everything he told me that his goal was in fact surpassed today and he went far further. Croatia should be proud of Mato and his father.
Imagine what would've happened if the engine of the BMW never blew up
Fortunately, they all do. Eventually...
its good to see the German product fail sometimes. It can be an inspiration for others!😀👨🎓
Front of the C2 is shaped a bit like the Maserati MC12 and the rear shaped a bit like a Koeniggsegg
Really began to appreciate this company more now! Thanks SketchMonkey!
The most impressive parts of the Concept 2 are under the skin. Not just the insanely powerful electric motors and very advanced batteries, or all of the systems they have, but the passive parts as well, such as the carbon fiber monocoque, which is the single largest and most complex carbon fiber piece produced in the car industry to date, and also has the highest torsional rigidity measured for a road car to date, higher even than the Bugatti Chiron, which was the previous record holder. C2's monocoque alone, without anything else attached to it, is more rigid than the Chirons body with all of the crash structures and body panels attached to it, all of which give it extra strength and rigidity. These cars have bodies so rigid that they surpass those of most GT3 race cars with full roll cages installed in them. This should make Richard Hammond very confident in case he decides to test drive the C2.
I Was working for Links company where is situated Rimac company as well, so once I saw him chilling in his Concept one. By itself it wasn't something special to see, but knowing it's worldwide product with his creator in it was like saw doc Frankenstein in his lab and I realised how the moment was cool and special. Like catching rare snow leopard for Nat Geo. Furthermore, Rimac is that type of guy who probably feel the car and thinks about everything that could be better, so see him in his car for me was like seeing Da Vinci in Sistine chapel working on his paintings.
Best thing of the rimac C2 is the fire extinguisher at the back
Redesign a Reliant Robin, you know... the 3 wheeler
Bravo Mate Rimac , bravo Croatia
Finally someone who says it correct Rimac not Rimak.
In order for a native English speaker to pronounce "Rimac" the right way, it would have to be spelled the German way "Rimatz". Translated into English language, the name Rimac would be Roman. Someone from the city or country of Rome.
The Concept 1 is one of the most beautiful cars I know. It looks exclusive but just a little understated for a super/hyper car with its relatively straight lines and not too many aero elements. More like a grand tourer than a track car. Absolutely love it.
I agree, they havnt gone overboard with design crap like a lot of the other super cars, the Croats have definately nailed it, not to mention the technology and quality, superb
HeyI hope you see this comment beacuse I really wanted to share a little fact with you. I am from Croatia and I visited Rimac factory. While we were passing the part with designers he told us that the black thing on the side is supposed to represent a tie. Tie is a Croatian invention and since not much people know that Mate wanted to represent it so more poeple would know that. Sorry for bad english it obviously not my mother tongue but I just felt like sharing this little fact with you.
Andro very cool, thanks for sharing!
@@Thesketchmonkey No problem. Btw love your videos, I learnd sooo much about car design since I'm watching you so thank you!
First and the most important to me is that you are one and I believe the only foreign person who can properly pronounce Rimac Automobili. Salute to you good man!!! One more thing, picture of C1 is taken straight from a side, picture of C2 is bit different, the camera position is much higher and tilted downwards. Big like and subscribe!
As mentioned before, the side graphics represents the neck tie. Mate said it himself in one of his interviews about c2. The neck tie is a Croatian invention. Originally from Croatian mercenaries serving in France during the Thirty years war.
He is my neighbour and i have seen a c2 in person.. boy oh boy it is slick😍😍
The C2 is my new favorite electric car
Croatians are awesome in football ( Silver on the World Cup), they become awesome (the best) in making electric cars, Nikola Tesla is born in Croatia...
Everything seems amazing about Croatia...
i saw C1 in show room off of company because we were there as school trip,man those cars look like madness
C2 is just right balance between beauty and aggressiveness
Concept one in drive club was nuts
So beautiful car, but that black strip is simbol of Croatian tie, perfectly blend in design of first Croatian supercar.
Nice work Mate!
i am proud of how you pronounce eastern europian names
I think the c2 is quite messy. Probably really good for aero, but too many ducts and winglets imo. Also all the covers and stuff for the sensors don't really help.
The rims remind me of the rims of Lancia Delta Integrale, they are like a modern take on that style
Yes!
I love you, finally someone telling Rimac (Reematz) right.
Mate Hrvati su ponosni na tebe. Samo naprijed uz Božju pomoc.
Detailed & beautiful description of the two models. Nice job done. C1 is more for cruising at high speed & C2 is more for competitive racing. I somehow don't like C2. I think it's missing something in a look & style compared to C1. As for Mate he created something unbelievable. He came from noware, jump to ride electric tech in a car and he is now making Rimac what is Apple to the phones. If he had America as a fund raising he would have made electric hyper car business as advanced as what is Ferrari or Bugatti in a combustion engine car business.
Very, very impressive follow up. The fact it now has the looks to match the performance is also outstanding for such a young & small car-maker. EV is certainly lowering the entry bar for sports\hyper cars which should reward those with the boldest vision.
I thought you were gonna include a video of Richard Hammond crashing one
Black line or whatever you called it is Croatian symbol : kravata, croata or tie which is of course Croatian invention. Mate Rimac used that detail and incoroporatie it in the design of C1 and C2.
I have to so much agree with you here, the Croats have nailed their cars, amazing and hats off to them
I didnt even know that my country made a electric car - so thank you for making this video
Kudos for pronouncing Mate's and the company's names correctly (perfectly, actually)!
I have not seen an EV I really liked the design of, that is until today. The C2 is gorgeous, I love that they use details to distinguish it from other cars rather than just removing the grill like most EVs.
Definitely one of the better looking EVs!
Svaka cast Rimcu na svemu sto radi! Ponos Balkana.
Ponos Hrvatske.
Concept two. The front part of the hood is primarily of Italian design, there are more side lines than before and they are completely harmonious. The last part is richer in design no longer looks like the first concept clasi perfectly but maybe boring. That's why the first model in red looked quite cheap as a plastic toy. Yet if I could buy I would buy the Concept One. Harmonious, fluid, simple and very classy design. In metallic or glass silver color with a black belt. I love the Scandinavian peistup design to use and the Italian just to watch.
I like it that you pronounce the names correctly 👍
🐹 DID ONE OF THE BEST THINGS AND IT WAS HECK OF PR FOR RIMAC CO.
PLUS IT WAS FREE 👍🏻
All I can hear Mate saying to him self is THANK YOU HAMSTER 🐹!! PMSL
The Rimac C1 looks more mature in my opinion. Strong and confident lines from the front to the back. The proportions just feel right, as the nose is longer with less overhang than the C2. The roof also flows more graduately down towards the rear. It's more curved on the C2, which kind of ruins the general flow for me. Still a nice car though. The rims are awesome. Very bold move!
Great video! You should make a video comparing the F40 and the F50
C1 was unique in design which gave them the edge in the markert. C2 is a bitsa, bit of this and a bit of that slapped together. They went backwards in design. Still a awesome achievement by a small company.
Thank you for your effort in pronunciation
