A Revolutionary EV: The Rimac Nevera - BTS with DTS - Ep. 15

[@blanchimont5587]

This is what happens when an enthusiasts vision comes to fruition. I am simultaneously glad and jealous of what Matte has managed, it is truly incredible. it's not often the vision of one of us enthusiasts vision comes to light, but i am glad every time it happens. just imagine all the gems locked away in the hears of us enthusiasts, only relegated to fiction due to the facts of reality; Matte overcame this and in the near or distant future, this will be looked upon as the Mclaren F1 of EVs.

[@markosustic109]

As someone who works at rimac for the last 7+ years and i worked closely on Nevera development i must say this video is as accurate as it gets when talking about history and the product. Great job and thank you!

[@fjalics]

When is it going to the Nurenbergring? Great name. And I'm an EV enthusiast, so an EV that looks like a supercar next to a Plaid in a 1/4 mile, fantastic! My favorite video was probably CarWow running it against a SF90, and I kept wanting to scream at the screen, that Ferrari is fast, I swear.😅

[@tomislavukraden4151]

@@fjalics Just these days Nevera can be seen at the Nürburgring. There are no official videos yet, but a couple of KZbinrs managed to record a few short shots (Shmee150 is one of them). Nothing special, the car is going slow, scanning the track or something.

[@pirkkaruuska5766]

The best BTS with DTS to date. Mate Rimac belongs in the same company as Gordon Murray, Christian von Koenigsegg etc.

[@frankgile1996]

It's really early to be certain, but it does seem that way... Mate seems like a really cool, knowledgeable guy.

[@DuvJones]

Oh so you missed the Top Gear special, they got him, Koenigsegg, Gordon Murray and Hennessey (a bit of a question on this one) in a room together to discuss hypercars. Yeah that is a thing that happened... It was kind of interested, if only because Mate was "the EV guy" so the other owners had a habit of just looking at him strangely when they had to deal with an EV question.

[@aaronvector4750]

And John Hennessey

[@gustavoflorio5383]

Mate is a very succesful business man with some field background that had the right idea at the right time. He is no genius like Prof. Gordon Murray.

[@aaronvector4750]

@@gustavoflorio5383 Yes, Murray is on a completely different level.

[@mitchell-wallisforce7859]

EV or gasoline? Fuck that. DTS just gave the best answer to date. Buy both if you have the monies. Buy a Dodge Viper and a Tesla Model S Plaid. Buy a Porsche 992 GT3 and a Taycan Turbo S. Buy a Bugatti AND a Rimac. Variety is the spice of life, and EVs just add to that. Silent, sure, but otherworldly in their capabilities and not incapable of entertaining the monkey behind the wheel. As someone who grew up on the sound of 9000+ RPM NASCAR pushrod V8s, I really appreciate this car, both because it has its own qualities and because it reminds me of why I really got into cars in the first place: sheer, reality-warping speed. This car can explode forward with more urgency than a fighter jet off an aircraft carrier, and nothing that ferocious will EVER be on my bad side.

[@ISSIMIOfficial]

AMEN!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@tikkyBee]

Well, Dodge Viper isn't sedan ...if you try, seems to me, match the similar type of ICE & EV

[@Absolut531kmh]

This film was beautiful. I enjoyed watching this far more than even bbc top gear's coverage of the Nevera. Writing, editing... so much time and love was put into this

[@TheBowerbird]

Also, what a great history of Rimac! The best I've seen yet. Beautiful footage, great narration... You guys are killing it.

[@tiagopereira369]

This video was so visually striking! It always is with BTS but I felt this one up the game a bit. Once again great work by DTS, thanks and thanks ISSIMI for allowing us to access how DTS perceives cars around him. Very inspiring.

[@Nomikeal]

I don't give a hoot about hypercars but damn what a cool story! I have a new found respect for Mate and the brand as a whole. Great video!

[@frankgile1996]

I think I'm hoping that, if someone can figure out how to make an electric supercar fun and exciting to drive, some of that tuning and techniques may be applicable in more run of the mill electric sports cars that me and you will be able to buy and drive within the next 20-30 years...

[@raven2016]

Thank you for pronouncing Mate's name correctly! Greetings from Croatia!

[@gustavoflorio5383]

Hyphen always delivers the right pronunciation, don't matter the language.

[@janson2911]

DTS is a daredevil. I (and I believe most other people) wouldn’t even dream drifting an eye wateringly expensive electric hyper car in the rain on tight public roads, regardless if it is closed or not. What a savage

[@TimothyApe]

7:22 WTF 😨 Amazing how precisesly a (for sure skilled) driver can make such extreme maneuvers. Speaks for the amazing engeneering of the Nevera.

[@levb8579]

That 360 at 14:35 ain't half bad either.😎

[@DataLog]

The car can actually asist you with drifting. If you use a drift mode, it's still not 100% uncontrolled, in fact, it helps you drift. There is also a mode which gives you full control and computer doesn't help you, but you can literally burn tyres forever in a standstill because it has so much power. Once you enter a drift, just imagine a steering wheel as a laser pointer where you want to go (like those lines on some parking cameras), and even though you are sliding and burning tyres, the car will make you go where you want to go. You also don't have to take care of the accelerator too much, if you floor it, it will still give you only as much power as it can control. It's not 100% fool proof but it's amazing. It's doing like 80% of the work.

[@davidsailboat5441]

Great video indeed. All this from tiny Croatia…what an amazing achievement by the founder and to keep everything about the company homegrown within Croatia.

[@harcs]

Woah. I have never ever seen a better edited and presentated video than this one before. Good job Issimi, this is art.

[@bag2963]

Mate Rimac is a true great man, he will do much more for humanity.

[@stewartfalk1977]

What an amazing vehicle, Mate has certainly transformed the way of high performance electric vehicles are perceived in the present generation.

[@tommylee6395]

Rimac makes 🇭🇷 proud! ❤️‍🔥

[@zagrepcanin82]

nope. he makes us poorer. goverment invested huge money in him and they are going to gift him another 186 million euros,of our money,instead of investing that money in serious car production. we have another ev....better than this showoff car....it is being produced by Dok-ing company which produces best de-mining robotic vehicles in the world....car is named loox. it cost 50 000 euros. it is as big as smart but for 3 people.and it could generate huge profit if it would be produced in numbers. nevera is not generating anything for the country

[@horatiul117]

I visited the Rimac factory near Zagreb in 2019. I was not particularly interested in EVs, but I was holidaying in Croatia and thought it would be a nice stop. I found there a small team of dedicated and passionate people, a team of petrolheads. I was really impressed by the tech and by the execution of the Concept_One considering it was a step into the unknown taken by such a small team with such a limited budget. Can’t wait what the future has in store for Bugatti-Rimac! 10:32 another episode featuring a damn W201 ❤

[@daiyouga]

Beautifully shot and delivered video Derek. Good job.

[@RolanTHUNDER]

That's an inspirational story about Rimac. Talk about "greatness from humble beginnings". The Nevera is quite something! Seeing it do a 360 spin in the SNOW and make it look graceful was a cool sight to behold :)

[@JuanDiegoUlate]

PHENOMENAL mini documentary vid!!!! Congrats on your excellent work, the effort of this production definitely paid off. Keep up the great work!

[@rjung_ch]

Mate embodies what passion and dreams can become. It's incredible what he and the people he works with are capable of achieving. Koenigsegg showed him that it can be done. If I could, I'd love one. An amazing dream come true!

[@alegrasbow]

A video worthy the Nevera, great job Sir. And it's just the beginning of Rimac

[@Nightmaretyrant]

Thank you for the wonderful showcase, the white Nevera sliding in the rain is a fantastic visual, amazing origin story aswell.... but all I can think of is Gordon Murrays T50 and T33 Spider as things I would actually want to own.

[@RadialSeeker113]

That's all you've been conditioned to want to own since you were a kid with the F1, f40 and carrara gt. This is a whole new breed of hypercar. One that the next generation of car nuts will also lust for. Let's be real. If you can afford a nevera, you can probably afford the t50 and t33

[@Nightmaretyrant]

@@RadialSeeker113 Me likey big sound 🙉

[@mavrick15243]

I'm honestly not a big supercar fan, I don't like the aesthetic, but the Nevera is actually genuinely gorgeous. I think it's what every supercar wants to be, but can't quite manage, because of packaging compromising style.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

I’m so glad this turned out so well. The first BTS with DTS was rough. This was delightful

[@YusssoM]

[@TrailTape]

Gorgeous footage and a thoughtful, reflective script. Excellent work, once again!

[@TheBowerbird]

The Rivian R1T and R1S are another example of absolutely sensationally fun to drive EVs. Off-road rally mode is so much more fun than I've ever had in BMWs and in sport mode hunkered down on the roads it is ridiculously flat and great. Steering feel and accuracy beats anything I've driven in the last decade.

[@derbigpr500]

You haven't driven a sporty car properly if you think a SUV EV can be compared to it. Maybe in lurching around at low pace, but not on the limits.

[@aviflax]

I’d love to see DTS sliding an R1T around in those rainy forests

[@Neojhun]

Another 4x motor torque vectoring vehicle with number plates. The Rimac platform and R1 platform are the only 4x motor black magic available right now.

[@leobuckey]

This story feels weirdly nostalgic. As a kid played with RC cars and always dreamed of getting gas powered ones. When I finally got one I was actually disappointed. They were much more complicated and expensive. The instant torque of the electric cars made drifting so easy.

[@JCDenton95]

Bet your parents are also disappointed in you, complicated and expensive.

[@OdyTypeR]

While I've loved BTS from the start, I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the final shot... Not only was it gorgeous cinematographically, but by showing the Rimac drifting around corners the whole film, our expectations were for a nicely setup wide drift, only to have them subverted by the 270 degree u-turn. That laugh said it all. What an epic car.

[@karljamieson8573]

Just amazing! I don't know how Mate Rimac did it, from the near complete in-house design and manufacturing to hitting it out of the park on his car's first outing. I don't think I want one, but goodness I love that it exists. Perhaps it will let our appliance manufacturers remember there is more to driving than just infotainment and "features" and maybe we can still have feeling. Here's hoping some of these traits trickle down to us mere mortals. Also a wonderful and complete introduction to it, both the story and the vehicle. Beautifully shot and engaging!

[@predatorxc008]

this review made me realise what all the new ones (post Clarkson) are missing: soul. it was an experience, a love for the machine that seems to be alive (at least for us, petrolheads). thank you

I'm in love with these BTS Videos! They're shot amazingly well and the Encyclopedic Knowledge of Hyphen is a very big cherry on top! Thank you for making these videos❤

[@Michael_Lorenson]

Excellent video and presentation. The Nevera seems like a distinct and historic inflection point in automotive design and technology, specifically in the area of operational dynamics. I am now officially an old man, an antique driver operating an antique car, using an increasingly obsolete knowledge-base and skillset. I don't even have ABS... But this was bound to happen, and I'm OK with it. I've entered the 'acceptance' stage of grief, at long last. Kudos to this incredible young man and his incredible young company. Very well done, indeed.

[@tiredoworking9350]

[@jonnowocky8179]

Brilliant video, editing, driving, loads of well delivered info, top notch thank you

[@ambergris5705]

To me, the Nevera has a bittersweet taste of what-if... It shows that legacy manufacturers could have done so much more, so much better, and yet they just didn't try. The 4 motors (one per wheel) layout reminds me that the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive has this same layout, 750 PS and was the fastest AMG ever at that point. It was half the power of the Concept One, half the price too. Both came into production at the same time in 2013, both showed brilliantly how exciting to drive an EV could be, especially with 4 wheel torque vectoring. Mercedes really wasn't too far off... but only Rimac persisted, Mercedes themselves apparently forgot that they created this masterpiece (do you realise they say the EQC is their first electric car? That timid, bland, inefficient and boring SUV? Mercedes-Benz? Gosh). So now Rimac is thriving, showing everyone how it's done, and just in general finally showing that an electric future can be exciting. But if MB had had a bit more perseverance, we would have been there 5 years ago. We'd have an electric AMG GT alongside the GTR and the Black Series, most automotive journalists would have come to the conclusion that indeed EVs can be fun to drive, and most other legacy manufacturers would have their own fun EV in the range. Rimac would probably still be top dog, let's be honest, but the movement would have happened so much quicker. I'm happy that people are now jumping on the bandwagon, but it feels like there has been a whole train that has been missed already.

[@justinschultz4325]

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

From 2.2M to a car which is around 40k, that's one feat to beat

[@Briggsian]

They likely won't ever make a Rimac that inexpensive, but I could see tech from their company finding it's way into more accessible sports cars.

[@error262]

You can't expect a cheap car from Rimac but you CAN expect one with Rimac tech from Hyundai or Kia. They both already use Rimac tech. Kia EV6 GT is a great example of a result of Hyundai/Kia investment into Rimac tech and it's supposed to be around $60k tho high demand and the world situation has increased it's price, afaik it's pre-sold out for next 2 years. It's like a budget family version of Rimac Nevera and it even has a drift mode just like Nevera. After Hyundai/Kia there's Porsche with majority share in Rimac tech but they're double the price. Long story short we won't get a budget Rimac but we already got Rimac technology in budget cars, that's how they used to survive and it's still a major source of income for them.
