There is no bad advertisement. Richard Hammond with his infamous crash made one of the biggest advertisements of the decade... Still, Rimac and his employees are so impressive they don't need such things. They're doing most under the radar. For example, they are producing their cars really low badge nevertheless those cars are really safe. Generally, your typical low badge sports car wouldn't be crash tested or really safe. His company is doing cutting edge crash simulation/modeling. Which makes rocket science seem it is elementary school math and make heart surgeons cry. Trust me I'm an engineer.

[@magnustan841]

I'm actually more interested in their Hyundai/Kia partnership, that's a serious statement of intent by the Koreans to go high performance or better still, boost the energy efficiency and range performance of EV batteries. God speed, Mate!

[@a.m.9357]

Me too. The Koreans have really upped their game. 15 years ago no one took them seriously in Europe or UK market. Now they are more prominent while liars and cheaters of Ford have completely abandoned cars (despite producing something as sensational as Mondeo) and Vauxhall/Fiat/Alfa/Renault/Citroen/Peugeot have consistently performed very poorly in customer satisfaction and they've been closing down one after another dealership. The Koreans have been opening more and more.

[@jp3630]

Korea and Koreans put me off. I would hope the Germans and Europeans, who at least welcome other nationalities will succeed in battery development.

Patents dear friends patents. The power to get your name on the most revered brand comes from patents. VW needed them across all the brands within its portfolio - when Porsche bought into Rimac they only had the license to Porsche. Mate drove a hard bargain (no pun intended) and voila. Bugatti Rimac. Patents dear friends. Patents.

I think this was very easy way to increase value of both brands. On top Rimac technology (which makes parts for Valkyrie etc.) part is excluded from this, and by looking at his projects, it is a question of time (if not already) majority of income will come from that side. Not hypercar.

Rimac with Bugatti will certainly develop an "Ultra Car" in the near future. I'm really looking forward to that day. My only question is, will it have the "R" or the "EB" on the on the front and back. My feeling is that the W16 will retired.

Tbh, there's no real need to get away from combustion engines, especially in limited series prodution cars. The pollution, which everyone talks about, comes mainly from large transportation vehicles and civilian commuters, plus continuous breakthroughs in fuels can help minimize the negative impact on environment. I think that Rimac's move makes sense.

[@tomassikora9679]

Elon makes Lories faster than a Porsche? No, he just makes up stuff and never deliveres, or with huuuge delay. Just like Cybertruck, Tesla semis will never work due to the weight of the battery. But to Tesla cultists, he is a God (I am not saying the Tesla technology is bad, sentry mode, dog mode,, awesome things, I am saying, that he is straight out lying). But yes, Rimac sound really incredible and keeps their word!

[@paulashton5990]

I think what you mean is Trucks faster than a Porsche. This is a light duty truck which can carry up to 6 people and 3,500 lbs of cargo (about 1500 kilos). Yes, it will accelerate faster than most Porsches or Ferraris. They have made two or three pre production prototypes, and hope to start production in 4th Q 2022, which later than 4than Q 2021 which was expressed as the expected production start during the product launch in 2019. It was an optimistic hope rather than a lie. And Tesla's technological lead goes way beyond the trivia of do and sentry mode.

Although Mate Rimac is not fond of the title Elon of Europe, he does have a knack for pushing various products where others sit on their backside, the merge with Bugatti can only be a good one as like mentioned they've kinda gone stale, maybe hyper cars are not popular no more, and even less when Tesla brought out the Plaid showing what's possible for WAY less money.

VW brought Rimac into VW family and gave it Buggati to controll. Its partnership. Reason is that Rimac develops new high end cars for a lot less money than VW was able to do.
