Mate Rimac's life and private car collection - part 1

[@actuallypaulstanley]

Wow, what an interview. It was great to see a real friendship, and hear you both discuss its background. @Mate is such a genuine guy that is clearly thinking on another level, but humble with it. Hearing his story told with real emotion was inspirational. Thanks @Jonny and @The Late Brake Show for bringing this video to us. Looking forward to part 2!! Oh, and good to see the notepad making in attendance. 👍🏼

The chairs look cozy.

You guys are kinda getting close to Elon Musk...

Great work Mate I hope one of your chapters includes building an affordable line of cars in the future - I hope to be able to buy one

[@bunsenn5064]

The lads over at Rimac HQ were really missing out on those chairs

[@markfr200]

I meni :) Bravo Mate. Što reći.. svaka čast, želim ti puno uspjeha u daljnjem radu.

[@ewadge]

This guy’s energy is so infectious.

[@igorsevo6690]

Plot twist: Same guy who sold Mate's dad a Ducati also rented them these chairs 😂😂

[@VWbaii]

A genuine guy who hasn’t forgotten his roots. Thanks for bringing this to us Jonny - looking forward to part 2!

[@spruce1509]

He comes across as such a great, normal guy. Clearly mega clever. Love the Ducati story. I can imagine Mate standing there keeping quiet while the salesman did his work!

Having met Mate on a few occasions I can confirm he is exactly as he appears in the media appearances. He's a very sharp & hugely motivated guy who has a presence way beyond his years. Good to see the dreams coming true.

[@TheKrakovv]

One of the best interviews with Rimac out there, thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@topjds1492]

What a fantastic interview, finally someone talks to Mate that understands cars and lets his passion come through. Great job Jonny!

[@JustArchiee]

This was top. Such an interesting guy, and top questions and comment from Johnny as always. Gg’s.

[@mc4130]

This just popped up - this is amazing! Cannot wait to watch it! This is exactly what I was after, after seeing your first Rimac videos with such an inspirational guy. Well done for knowing your audience Jonny. Bloody well done.

Welcome aboard TLBS. Thank you for watching.

[@hippotek1]

Mate Rimac is one of the most down to earth geniuses on this planet. THANK you for the amazing interview!

[@Hotpack7279]

It is unbelievable how down to Earth Mate is. Gets wet Eyes if he talks about his Peugeot Speedfight and so on. He is staying refreshingly young in Mind.

[@eotikurac]

yes, very down to earth, talking about making cars you cannot buy while running a company that made 75 million euro loss last year. how do you not see a fraud and a salesman? he's just like elon, elizabeth holmes, ftx, and all the rest of them. how do these sorts of people keep fooling everyone? it's unbelievable how dumb and blind the masses are.

[@Mountain-Man-3000]

Mate seems so chill and down to earth, like the kind of guy you could just hang out with and chat cars all day. Great work on that beast of a car Mate!

This guy is going to take over the world! Underestimate him at your peril. The best bit is that he's taking people on the journey, unlike Musk who seems to be burning those who are closest to him. Another brilliant video Jonny.

I've been watching car shows for decades, from when there were only two or three "serious" shows and now there are thousands, blah, blah, blah - just when I thought there were no new versions or "takes" or perspectives, The Late Brake Show comes along - I have always enjoyed Jonny's opinions and knowledge and unique views on autos but this is a new level - production, dialogue, subject matter and the everyday enthusiast's point of view - I'm hooked - thank you for what you do, how you do it and what you show - I love it!

I love mate's work but he shouldn't try compare himself to elon musk hes more like Christian von Koenigsegg except in a way hes almost gone beyond in terms of finding a niche that allows him to expand his engineering prowess to benefit other manufacturers.

Thanks again Jonny a fantastic interview, can’t wait for part two.

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

This comment means so much John, thank you for saying it. I'm really pleased when folks admit that they don't particularly love EV, or were dubious about its use in the real world, but have come around to the idea. Not just that, but also realise that we don't have to give up piston cars in order to use electric vehicles, and vice versa.
