DOUGSCORE CHART:
www.dougdemuro.com/dougscore - Auta a dopravní prostředky
If I were to start my own car company, I would specifically design a car to reach Doug's perfect score. A 1 thousand horsepower off roading electric luxury minivan.
THIS is the brand new Bigtexatx11 Dougpleaser 3000. First I’m going to show you all it’s quirks and features, then I’m going to… you know the rest
😂
Or just make it have the most RIDICULOUS features and quirks and you will get a perfect Doug score, the weirdest of weird things you can think of, that’ll actually get him off harder than his wife ever could.
Gotta have a third trunk and gear tunnel 😎
And convertible
One of the key events that made the name Rimac known was Hammond's crash during the Top Gear test.
The Grand Tour, not Top Gear
It passed the safety one for sure.
It was a lovely bond fire.
Hammond is the goat
Frankly I think they owe him. This was great publicity! If Hammond can crash it then it's clearly a production car.
Yup, Rimac is legit. They make parts for many of the big car companies. It’s an amazing story, it’s like koenigsegg. I love that they are small companies started by geniuses that can take on industry titans.
They make parts for koenigsegg too, pretty cool
Koenigsegg is one of his most important client. ( battery and inverter)And Christian is a personal friend of Mate. They do it their own way.
it looks exactly like a c8 corvette
If I win the powerball I'm buying a Rimac. Absolutely love the brand and the CEO Mate is really likeable too. He actually gave Matt Watson from Carwow a "stick of truth" and that is hillarious. Love that the car isn't all up in your face like other hypercars, its smooth and subtle in comparison.
I think the design for this car fits what they want perfectly. I think they were aiming for the car to be more simplistic and just purely performance focused, and they succeeded in doing that
yes, they wanted a timeless design
Totally agree. I love the design.
I think they were aiming for the man who's a kid inside with all the gimmicky digital controls which feel more like a toy or a case study than being practical. So stupid to use computer controls to adjust the mirrors, steering wheel and seat positioning...
Love it, like the mp4-12c.
This is not a timeless design. It already looks about ten years old. It looks like a sports car you see in Grand Theft Auto 5.
I see no issues with the design. Then again seeing a car in person really hits different, but maybe Doug is just so used to seeing so many crazy buggatis, lambos, etc that this is “basic,” to him. But from just seeing it on a screen, i love the design. It’s more elegant than flashy.
Dougs taste isnt a secret, hes into weird and quirky designs that are not always beautiful. When it comes to designs that are outside of those categories he usually refers to "people think".
Completely agree!
"... eliminates the needs for ugly buttons." What about those huge, ugly knobs right in the middle Doug? How about put that in the infotainment screen, because they just look silly.
@@jimdennis2451 I expect those things to grind some salt and pepper for my meal.
I really think the design is kinda outdated, it looks like a 2005 Ferrari.
Not saying it's ugly, or basic, just old.
To list a few things, this car:
-Is the most powerful street-legal car currently being made
-Has the fastest quarter-mile time of any street-legal car
-Has the fastest 0-60 of any street-legal car
-Has the highest top speed of any street-legal electric car
-Has level 4 autonomy
-Has the largest carbon fiber monocoque of any car
-Has the highest tensile rigidity of any street-legal car, more rigid than a Porsche LMP1 endurance car in fact
-Costs $2.5 Million each
-Seats only two
-Has minimal other tech
@@Leoneidas -Has six times the processing power of a performance workstation computer
-Has advanced drive mode capability
-Has driver facial recognition and stamina detection
-Has a virtual “driving coach” for track use
-Will come with a charging dock for drones and other tech as one of the future trunk storage options
-Detects the conditions of the road and adjusts the suspension automatically
-Vectors torque to all four wheels 100 times per second
Not all of these are available, but they have already been developed and will be implemented on the fully produced model.
@@Leoneidas as a comparison plaid costs around $150k ( you could buy 16.5 plaids with the same price of that)
And can seat a lot more, and can use it as a daily driver, and road trips and charge it at super chargers
At the end of the day it’s anyones cup of tea
@@Leoneidas Yes, of course it does, do you want four seats? Get a fucking Bmw mate, this was not designed for family purposes nor going a hundred yards down your block for groceries.
@@andreispiridon3241 But can it go around a corner? Or slow down quickly enough to even go into a corner? Especially considering that the 5,000lb super saloon in question has the brakes of a Camry.
I had the chance to get a private tour of some of the R+D area for Rimac while I was in Zagreb. The boys there are absolute gems; computer and car nerds that are totally passionate about what they create. Brilliant factory too! Totally worth the trip from Canada
That torque vectoring dial is very impressive for the ability to switch between front wheel/AWD/rear wheel at the twist of the dial. Essentially makes the Nevera a muscle car, drift machine, and a GT all in one.
I have seen this guy once about 5 years ago, and his cloths is not yet change, he's wearing exact same cloths....
And an understeering shitbox
Rimac + Nevera = Rivera ?
You forgot "record-shattering drag racing monster of a production car" not a big deal, almost negligible (sarcasm)
not sure I would take it offroading but nice to have the option...
Some industry trivia about Rimac and their credibility:
- Rimac officially owns Bugatti, as through a deal with VW, they have gained a 55% majority hold in Bugatti shares, which has been renamed "Bugatti Rimac". The rest is owned by Porsche (under VW group).
- Rimac has for a long time delivered EV-related services to many leading industry brands such as aforementioned Porsche and Bugatti, amongst many others.
- Rimac has had a partnership with Koenigsegg for many years, supplying each other with specific expertise and manufacturing capabilities within various fields of production and research.
Rimac might be considered a new player still in terms of own production, but they have been a major established player within the international electric/hybrid car industry for many years, and have helped a lot of the largest companies with their transition into the EV and Hybrid era of car engineering. If anything, it's the credibility of other companies' EV lineups that are thanks to Rimac.
Rimac also supplied the battery system for the Aston Martin Valkyrie. I guess most of their revenue comes from selling the technology to other brands.
@@emptymannull Pininfarina
Very cool learn something new everyday
Yes and no. Rimac Group owns 55% of Bugatti Rimac, but Porsche owns 24% of the Rimac Group and 45% of Bugatti Rimac. With that combo of stock ownership Porsche can still, if they really badly want to, decide what happens with Bugatti Rimac by combining 1/4 of the 55% of votes with the 45% percent of votes...
@@emptymannull Pininfarina Battista
The Necktie was actually invented by Croatians (while serving in Napoleons Army), hence the Necktie design on the Car.
Also Doug praised the feel of the Brakes: Nico Rosberg did a Video on this car (because he will be getting one) and Mate Rimac explained to him that a lot of work went into creating a realistic brake feel and that it was quite tricky.
The design is the one letdown of this car, sadly.
As a Croat, I'm extremely proud of Mate Rimac and his company. They are just incredible! 💪🇭🇷
Doug butchered the name.
@@igorivanov299 it is not Doug it is Đoug 😜
When I first saw this car, I thought they had to be faking how well it was performing. It is far from fake.
well its still fake they cant homolgate car..
Electric has huge potential and always has. It has more or less been about how much they can squeeze from the batterys since day one; 120+ years ago or so. Now the batteries are finally at the level where things like this are feasible.
Can you say Devel 16?
@@jakovsmith9331 afaik, it is homologated, at least in europe
Be afraid. Be very afraid. 😱
I really like the Rimac's styling. A lot of other Supercars are just overstyled.
A lot of electric cars are also terribly over-styled. They hit the nail on the head with this thing
Because Supercar target audience need to show off. If Lamborghinis are not designed like crazy land jets they'll not sell as much to all the youtuber celebs and NBA players
There's also the NIO Ep9
@@wristoww especially european electric cars. all of them have massive fake grilles and vents that look bad from every angle. looking at you audi and BMW.
The rear end of this looks bad
Best of all, the founder of Rimac company is an cool young innovator, 34 years old, started it all as a hobby and passion in his garage, and now he has a hangars and glass buildings.. 👍❤️
Nevera was named after a quick and mighty mediterranean storm, that blow across the open sea off Croatia... nevera is extremely powerful and charged by lightning so it's perfect name for this car 🌬️🌩️⚡
And yes necktie originated in the 17th century, during the 30 year war in France. King Louis XIII hired Croatian mercenaries who wore a piece of cloth around their neck that women had put on before going to war it was part of their uniform and was named “La Cravate” in honour of the Croatian soldiers little peace of history...
Croatia is proud of Mate Rimac and his Nevera⚡🇭🇷⚡
Dobro receno
The design IMO is stunning; sleek, functional, serious, even elegant I'd say.
Front end is awkwardly long, but overall much easier to look at than most hypercars these days.
You wouldn’t say?
pininfarina battista twin is better
@@Riles07 because pininfarina is responsible for "generic" supercar styling. They made this trend. Not vice versa
Another 72 score? Come on Doug!! the Gemera will be the first 80+ rated car on this channel I'm predicting
The video hasn’t been out for long enough for you to watch the whole video
Walk me through each category on that one
I wouldn't be surprised if the Gemera ended up as the all-time DougScore champion when he gets his hands on one. I'm surprised the Nevera didn't quite dethrone the F1 or Speedtail.
They didn’t bribe him enough ;) :) sick of “influencers”
@@wc6046 Gemera is a supercar with saloon practically essentially. I have no doubts it'll be the highest score once it's in production
Proud to be Croat!
Nice video, I have waited for Your rewiew.
Best regards from Zagreb, Croatia 👍❤️🇭🇷
I’m compelled to comment on how beautifully finished the carbon fiber appears on this car. It just seems to look perfect. The fit and finish of this car just seems to stand above anything else I’ve seen. I haven’t seen it in person and obviously don’t own one, but if any car commands such a price I think this one is simply one of them.

I really love the design on this car, contrary to what Doug believes. I'm sick of so may hypercars being overstyled nowadays, and this one just looks perfect in my opinion.
What? You don't like hypercars having fins to their fins?
+mazda9624
Agreed, this Design will still look good in 10 or more Years.
Also i'm happy to see Rimac & Bugatti & Porsche now work together under the VAG Umbrella and of course also will share Knowledge with another!
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
Doug has no taste. look at how he dress...
I had the opportunity to see this in real life, parked beside a Koenigsegg Regera. I have to say, I used to dislike the Rimac but when I personally saw it I LOVED IT! But the Regera looks better (personal opinion):
@@psbono764
I got to see the Rimac Nevera and those before here in the Alps and since i attend Sportscar Meetups & Tours through the Alps myself and what you said is so true. That's the case with a lot of Cars in my experience, this is why i never judge a Car from Pictures alone because in Person they often look much better and a bit different than they do on Pictures
We watch Doug break the law every time he drives a quick car.
As he should. Fast car go wheeeeeeeeeee
Prove it 🤫
He gains more weight, he not gonna go as fast. Maybe ask the owner to take out the passenger seat.
Allegedly
Most laws are useless and only about control and keeping dumb people safe because they can't depend on common sense to do it.
I still come back to this video often because frankly, the Nevera has been my dream car ever since I saw it in action. There is no other car out there like it, an all electric hypercar that outperforms everything in its class while still retaining that elegent, luxurious aura. It’s quite literally the first of it’s kind, and I suspect many more manufactures will try to rival with their own electric hypercars in the future
I like the fact that they designed this car to shock you in it's capacity and not have a huge visual wow factor. That's good because if I'm paying 2.5 million dollars for a car, I don't want a lot of attention. I want to enjoy the abilities the car has. Rimac did it right with this car
It looks kind of crazy I am sure you would still get attention.
Yeah, I think it looks great. It looks exotic and "wild" but it isn't childish, where it begins to look like a transformer, or something purposely trying to show off and look fast.
If you don't want a lot of attention, don't buy a $2.5 million all electric supercar.
@@Chris_Wolfgram Electric hypercars aren't nearly as noticeable as loud ICE Hypercars.

rimac has come a long way, and it’s among the best electric car components manufacturer. the previous models have been featured in many channel and shows like top gear. hammond even crashed in it. and it continues to set the bar for electric cars industry. im a little surprised doug says he hasn’t been paying attention to this company
He crashed c1. C1 is not that good like nevera
@@thefox2902 agree, nevera is even more powerful
I don’t remember ever seeing a Rimac on Top Gear. Are you sure?
@@driftmeister2244 It was on the first episode of the second season of The Grand Tour. So GT rather than TG.
@@IanHobday top gear too. You can search rimac on their channel.
Holy sh*t he did the scv12. This year's dougcember just getting a whole lot more exciting...
I KNOW IM FREAKING OUT WHEN I SAW THAT
It ain't even street legal
Dougcember always delivers. I'm stoked to see the bombs he's about to give us.
It's cool that there are these little teasers of what reviews are coming soon, can't wait for this one!
Exactly, your the only person I’ve seen mention that somehow
Rimac are pronounced Remuts like nuts ❣️
Love from Berlin 🇩🇪
Ramsi 😘
Great presentation Doug, very well prepared. Regards from Croatia!
I think the design is perfect, and a brighter color (red, orange, yellow) would really give it that presence Doug wanted. Dark blue, like silver, is subdued here.
Yes, also, comparing it to the Chiron, I feel like the Chirons design is even tamer, more stately. You just think it's crazy, because of what it is.
Perfect design??? Did you see the stupid placement of the cupholders?
@@tomjanowski8584 Yea but I also drove a manual 1996 F-body for years and the cup holder was right behind the manual shifter. Doesn’t get much worse than that.
@@I-Teee if the driver is right handed, there's no easy way to put a cup in the cupholder
is it just me who dont like bright colors. I hate cars in like red paint. I only like mono tone colors and blue.
I'm sick of "daring" auto design -- this looks sleek and beautiful to me.
Definitely. This is Ferrari F40, Ford GT type design. Timeless, sleek, and beautiful. It will never look dated. Absolutely perfect and one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen.
It looks very generic and forgettable in my opinion. Especially when we compare it to cars like the Bugatti Chiron, Aston Martin One-77, Maserati MC20, Ferrari LaFerrari and many more...
Personally I sort of like the styling of.... say, a Gumpert Apollo, or Porsche 918 Spyder, Ford GT40, or some example of subdued curves and hard lines that are more subtle and less loud and wild. Performance by what it does rather than what it implies by styling.
I agree. Tho, I'd like even more conservative, more subtle lines.
Think about it, the looks is the only subjective score Doug gives in the weekend category. If he gave it a 10 (which i think deserves) it would have been the perfect weekend score and would have been the best overall score that Doug ever gave. I simply believe that didn't think that the car merits such a recognition, which I think it's unfair.
The wing coming up when he’s driving it is so cool 😫
"bUt I lIkE tHe SoUnD oF a GaS eNgInE"..... Ya enjoy being left in the dust Everytime 😂
Dougcember going strong... We already got the Rivian, the Lucid and now the Rimac.
How is he gonna keep that level?
Don't forget the GMC Hummer EV. I hope he reviews the Ferrari Monza, as well.
I can’t stop thinking about Richard Hammond and his “incident” with a Rimac
Yeah...
He was too small for that car sadly
🤣😂😭😂🤣
How many Rimacs did they make?
7
How many are left?
6
What happened to the other one?
SHUT UP
Richard Hammond and Rimac are living in your head rent free brestie
I love to see Doug’s reaction when he steps on the throttle
The Rimac Nevera has touched on something that I have wanted to see on all automobiles... acceleration indication lights.
Particularly in heavy traffic, we need to know when the vehicle ahead of us is accelerating, cruising or braking. Lights indicating what the cars ahead of us are doing would reduce a lot of rear-end collisions... I believe
What will truly help in heavy traffic would be keeping your distance from the car ahead of you.
I have thought the same thing for years. The harder you step on the brakes, the brighter your brake lights should be. It really wouldnt be that hard to do
@@janbracic2674 many modern cars have a feature where under heavy braking, the brake lights will rapidly flash.
I get a warning message in my cheap skoda to keep distance when I get too close too fast behind another car. There is also front collision detection and it will apply the brakes for me in extreme situations. Other modern cars have adaptive cruise control which uses the same radar technology to maintain distance automatically. Not sure how an indication light beats any of these existing solutions.
Weird to noitice that depending of the brand/car, the infotainment controlled air vents can or cannot be a big issue for Doug.
The same can be said of unpainted surfaces or other weight/cost savings, but hey we all have some bias, can't hate too much on it
I think the cheaper the car, the more user-friendly it should be, hence why he didn't complain here. How many people are going to complain about Rimac's this feature?
it's an issue on a mass production vehicle because it has to be reliable and easy to use for millions of people, on a hyper-car that maybe a 100 people will own and drive it once per year it's not a problem
@@caeditus everything can and can not be a issue for Doug. He is not really objective at this point anymore and his reviews dont really have quality to them anymore. He just talks his talks about the cars and if he likes a car everything is great and if he doesnt then nothing is a good thing
it usually is, i was surprised as an acid watcher of his videos to see that he liked that. i think its just that he got it from rimac and he doesn’t want to shit on their design when theyre giving him the car to review and its preproduction so not all the kinks are worked out yet and he can do a full review and drive it.
If it can do 0-60 in under 2 seconds, does that mean Doug should have to give it an 11 or a 12 for acceleration?
TBH, yes

I'm from Croatia and I cannot be prouder of Mate and his work with his company. This car shows just how much of a genius Mate is. Just incredible!

I just imagine how you must feel about Mate and his successful company. You know, I'm from Serbia, and long ago, Croatia was part of the country in which I was born. Of course, much changed since then. But that doesn't prevent me from being glad that something as extraordinary as Nevera comes from your country.
19:14 the way Doug slams the door lmaooooo
Styling 7/10?!!! this is one of the most beautiful hypercars ive seen in a long time!
I love the design. It's absolutely gorgeous
Finally the review I was waiting for!
About the design: Mate Rimac himself said he wanted the car to have a timeless design. Something beautiful and memorable rather than something aggressive and common.
Also, the C at the end is not a K sound, it's like a fast "ts", hard to explain but you know what I mean...
Yeah, it's hard to explain to non-slavic speakers
Yes, here it is:
czcams.com/video/YmyQiwAPC5Y/video.html
Fast transsexual?
I think they said that they're fine with foreigners pronouncing Rimac with a c, just because it's easier. Just like how Mazda is pronounced Matsuda in Japan but nobody outside of Japan bothers.
There is "timeless" design, and then there is "simple/generic/restrained" design. It is understandable how an artist can easily end up creating something that is merely generic/uninspired when trying to create something "timeless" because timeless design is probably the most difficult and advanced forms of design that exists. To make something successfully timeless you not only need to thoroughly understand modern tastes and understand the tastes + styles from *many* different time periods, but also understand *why* and *how* those preferences morphed over time. All of that must be understood in order to be able to predict how your creation will be seen for decades to come. I think Rimac's designers believed that it couldn't have too unique of a design without dating it, but that's wrong. They've ironically made it look *completely* dated by making a design restrained to the norms of this time period. Every angle that I saw of this car had at least one aspect of it that was almost identical to another car currently in production. I know that they get a lot of hate for the fact that their badges are as much status symbols as anything else, but Bugatti and Rolls Royce are the two companies that come to my mind when I think of companies that have successfully pulled off timeless designs in the past and in the present. The standard Chiron is a *perfect* example of how you can still make something look daring, unique, and bold while also ensuring that it will look that way decades from now whenever people see one for the first time. I think they ended up creating something that looks good today, and will look good for a few years, but that won't stand out 50 years from now because it doesn't really stand out even now, whereas nothing about the Chiron looks like anything else to day, and likely won't look like anything 50 years from now either. Also, I'm not sure where screen technology will go next, but considering the fact that the entire car is controlled via screens, I don't see how this design will be "timeless" in a couple decades unless they plan on creating new screens with updated tech that fit into this car's current interior and "recalling" all of these cars periodically over the next few decades to replace the older screens with newly updated ones. I guess that could be done, but it would cost them an insane amount of effort, time, and money to actually carry out such an ambitious plan.
Btw, it's good to know about the whole pronunciation thing, but the name is written in English letters, so I suspect they are fine with people just pronouncing the 'c' like a 'k', because otherwise they would've used your language's letters/symbols to make it clear if they'd wanted it to be pronounced the native way.
Doug reaction, while he's slamming his foot on the acceleration, is priceless
Can't wait to see his reaction on the GMC Hummer EV on Thursday!
I'm witholding my reservation deposit payment until I am offered negative zero to sixty.
I wish he had done an acceleration from a dead stop, too.
his eyes.mind blow and that futuristic sound of speed
Thanks so much for this review, it helped me decide between this or the corolla
Pretty cool the back wing adjusts to catch more wind when breaking from higher speeds just now seen that @27:57
The Rimac Nevera is really a beautiful hypercar. When I first saw it at a private display (back when it was still called the Concept Two), it looked like a sleeker Chiron. It had leather interior and was filled with carbon. It wasn't a fully stripped out, race bucket seat track car. It was a GT cruiser but with loads of power.
Looks totally generic to me, doesn't stand out at all.
Pontiac eFirebird
@@cenciende9401 I agree. It's the most forgettable design I've ever seen.
The Tesla Model S Plaid is much better looking. And it only costs $130,000 compared to this $2.5 Million Croatian ripoff which hasn't sold anything yet. Since the Tesla is just a tad bit slower than this over-hyped Atomic looking insect, it's a far better value. Save your $$.

Hello from croatia👋.
Im happy that finally someone reviews our best car in details,not just its speed
Nice that he reviewed it. It would be a shame if he didn't. It's not just an accomplishment for our country, but sth for the whole world
Really like the sound the car makes when its going. Exactly what i expected electric/futuristic cars to sound like when i was a kid
amazing speed and sound
.like enterprise
but can it fly?
Will be interesting to see in the future, the facial recognition software being used as an anti-theft system.
Example: you can configure specific people to be "authorized drivers" and then have settings to disable the car if an "unrecognized driver" gets in it, without some sort of override (lent to a friend, valet etc)
You're right, Doug. Maybe it should've been like 50 weird vents and a giant spoiler on wheels.

Some crazy ergonomic attention to detail I just realized: the textured grip ridges around the dials are positioned at an angle to maximize grip because you reach to it at an angle. I found that out when I was curious as to why they didn't just make them straight ridges.
You should check out the Rimac Yt channel, they are super open about everything and show all
@@techtt6213 absolutely will do, thanks
Doug, your reaction to the acceleration makes my day!
insane
The face you make when you accelerated is just great!
Doug, you're crazy. This is a beautiful car, partially because it's not overstated in its design. I normally hate cars with so many air ducts because they're gaudy and over-emphasized, but this design subtly integrates them better than most that I've seen. I love that color as well!
If you like it so much, why don't you buy it Adam?
Then you'll realize how boring this EV really is upon ownership.
@@peterkater4292 Yeah, I'm sure you know exactly how boring it is because you've actually driven it before.
Your idiotic comment is neither necessary nor wanted. Go annoy someone else.
@@rars0n I wasn't aiming at annoying you Adam. Sorry if I did.
I just wanted to say that an EV, especially a Supercar EV is boring.
It might be very fast, but is utterly soulless.
Let's see in 10 years from now, what the actual "importance" of this car really has come to be towards the Automotive world.
I wasn't trying to hurt you, but seeing (mostly millennials) all these people in admiration for something they'll never buy, but all in one voice praising the EVs as "a whole" makes me wonder where the future of cars is really heading..
@@peterkater4292 "all these people in admiration for something they'll never buy, but all in one voice praising the EVs as 'a whole'"
What does liking THIS ONE car have to do with EVs as a whole? Who cares if I'll never buy it? One of my favorite cars ever is the 288 GTO. Am I not allowed to like that car because I don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on a car?
I started drag racing my daily driver back in 2000. I love gasoline engines. The most you're going to do to an EV to make it faster at the track is to put in a better suspension and bigger motors. That's pretty boring to me. I don't even care if my car is slower, I did the wrenching, the tuning, and the driving. I made it drop 4 seconds in the quarter mile, trap 120 mph, and do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. I made it fast, it didn't come that way.
And yet sometimes it's a pain in the butt daily driving the car that you're constantly working on. Sometimes it's nice to just have cheap transportation from point A to B. I will always prefer having a clutch pedal and stick shift, even in stop-and-go traffic (automatics are far more annoying to me), but you're an idiot if you can't see any upsides to owning an EV.
The fact of the matter is that the best cars of the past are exactly that now, in the past. We can still drive them and fix them and keep them nice and enjoy them, but automakers aren't making them anymore because it's just not what people are buying in large quantities. I don't even like the idea of owning a brand new car anymore because of all the nanny bullshit that now comes on every car. But the average driver is an idiot who doesn't care about anything but getting from point A to point B, so the specialty cars are going to continue to get rarer. Just because it has an EV powertrain doesn't mean it has no "soul." It's even more dumb to say that without ever having driven the car yourself.
@@rars0n Now we're communicating Adam, and I truly value your detailed answer!
I totally reckon I might be halfway to an "idiot" (as you kindly put it) as the only advantage I'd assume EVs have over ICEs is the lower running cost.
I'm glad you like the 288 GTO (one of the first true Supercars). My dream car would perhaps be a Carrera GT.
You liking the 288 GTO and me the Carrera GT doesn't mean we'll see the world shifting over to super GTs or even Supercars, but people massively admiring a "Supercar EV" might actually help open the door to a global market presence for EVs.
That's what I dislike.
I kind of dread that the EVs will once replace cars as we know them today. Just because people do not want to drive anymore or do not enjoy driving anymore. OEMs encouraging them to be completely passive behind the wheel, with all sorts of electronic bullshit...
I definitely am in favor of a cohabitation of ICE and EVs. But I don't really think it is really possible.
On the other hand, EVs are maybe the less eco-friendly creatures I know of.
Batteries made with cobalt, nickel, lithium... The main power sources for EVs being electrical energy produced by nuclear and coal plants...
I guess any drag racing car is just 10 times more environmentally friendly.
But as the logic has it, what matters is what comes out of the exhaust pipes, not the energy feeding process that comes beforehand.
Anyways, I truly hope we'll enjoy our ICE cars as much as we can before the world tips over into full EV dictatorship.
"Nevera" in spanish means "refrigerator"
The world's fastest refrigerator
Opet te tamo banalo? 😂
Well I mean, it is really cool.
Top cars TV?
it's actually (i think) the name of a well known croatian storm
Tired of all these tiny cars. Where's the 2 second minivan? I want to take my whole family on a roller-coaster ride.
Well done to my Croat brothers.... love from KOSAVA
The facial recognition camera locks the car in park if it detects Richard Hammond.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The acceleration scale should really go up to 11... you know for cars like this... which does the quarter mile faster than most cars do 0-60 (8.5 seconds)
A bit hyperbolic but not far from true. Most cars in America do 60 under 8.5. 5-7 seconds is most cars. 8.5 to 60 would of been pretty standard around 2000 maybe.
really needs to change up the scale... not fair to have the same score as a Mclaren P1 when they differ ALOT in power and acceleration.
@@Sheridantank 5-7 is quick even by today’s standards. I think car enthusiasts like us can be pretty skewed by the sheer number of “quick” “everyday” vehicles that are available now, but realistically the majority of consumers are not buying them.
Look at the most popular vehicles sold today. The majority of small crossovers do 0-60 in 8-9 seconds unless they have turbos. All popular midsize sedans are 7-8 seconds in base engine form. And all 3 row v6 crossovers are also around 7.5-8.5 seconds.
There are of course exceptions to each of these, for instance luxury vehicles of every category all typically come standard with pretty powerful engines in base form, but most people do not buy luxury vehicles.
Very few non-luxury vehicles with the “base” engine do 0-60 under 7 seconds. So 8.5 seconds is really not an exaggeration.
@@jakes5530 well said
Exactly, slower cars also got a 10 so it doesn’t actually make sense
the “Never” in Nevera standing for the fact that most of us will never be able to afford it
Lol.... nevera...fford it.
Nevera is a dalmatian region of Croatia word which means "the storm".
@@unwokeneuropean3590 also comes from the word “unbelievable” in Croatia because the Storms are so bad they are unbelievable.
@@vrcmf3172 Partially true. Croatian born guy here...Slavic word for unbelievable (in croatian) is NEVJEROVATNO...The storm is extremely powerfull,it comes VERY suddenly and it often becomes unbearable due to coldness that it brings. ANYAWAY,to be true here's the ADRIATIC SEA nautical definition for those reading this:::
:::Quote: The Nevera is a thermal storm system that comes in at great speed from the open sea (west). It lasts a brief time but is very powerful. It is most often in summer, mostly on the northern Adriatic, and is accompanied by lightning. Signs it is coming is the development of white cumulus cloud and increasing height and darkness of high clouds, whose peak begins to spread into stripes. There is usually a calm before this storm. In general, it appears after many days of high humidity, warm nights and an unclear horizon.
@@Clueless2daWorld Yes… I’m Croatian. Born and Semi raised. The word was used for storms like Bura
When Doug said “Rimac has become well known lately for …” I was like “ah yeah the one Richard Hammond crashed in”
It’s Nevera and I think best place to review this hyper-car is outside or race at least.!
Everytime Doug pronounces Rimac wrong one Croatian dude dies.
😂
How does one pronounce it? Asking for future reference.
@@keeperofeurobeat8421 Like REE-MATS
In that case Doug killed half of a Germany so far 😂
In Croatia "C" is pronounced like you would pronounce "ZZ" in "pizza"
Like how he showed a picture of a Chiron even though there was a Chiron right behind him lol
Idk why but the "feedback" sound is most important to me. It's the symphony of the momento. It's the thrill of the harmonic balancer keeping it together. No matter the electric car trend, I can't get serious with a car that's nearly silent in any racing scene.
Think of it like Mike Tysons punch but no knock out. Michael Jordan's dunk but no crowd cheer, or Doug but no "quirks" it just doesn't hit like the roar in racing...sounds are memorizing not a silent Jetson mobile. Love my 2017 ZL1, and it loves me back with cold starts each day.
My thing with electric cars is the empty interiors with massive screens and the bubbly look. This car does it right, it just took a normal looking car and put an open electric motor in it
Finally, a Croatian powerhouse!!! Greetings from Croatia Doug 🇭🇷🇭🇷 love your content
Fun fact: Rimac also builds batteries for Hyundai, Porsche and Aston Martin (specificly Valkyrie)
Fun fact:Rimac cant sold 150 vehicles in 5 years.You still can order one.🤣
Some US bros probably never heard of Croatia before lol.
@@bubbazanetti4522 even though he invested a lot in development of this car it's not Rimacs goal to only sell cars but technology. So whatever number it is its actually irrelevant for the value of the company. Pinifarina is Nevera in a diff shell
@@bubbazanetti4522 fun fact: you don't have a clue what Rimac actually does and what that company's focus is...
Actually Bosnian since Rimac is Bosnian and born in Bosnia.
I love Rimac. I also love that Pininfarina, the guys the made some of the most beautiful cars known to man, has partnered with Rimac to make the Bautista. Which is just the super luxury version of the Rimac concept one, the predecessor to the Nevera. Big ups to Mate for all of his success. Can't wait to see what else Rimac has in store
Me too!
Love the Nest dials
I be barely finding out about a car on forza and Doug already has a review on it he’s a maniac
Absolutely love the space ship like sound that it makes while accelerating.
Tbh it sounds like 50 year old trams in Croatia, not that I mind
That’s because it is a space ship lol.
It sounds like a go kart... 2.5 million dollar go kart. Sounds nothing like a bugatti, pagani, etc.
@@Martin-bf8qs doubt that was what they were going for
@@Martin-bf8qs yeah no shit? Those cars aren’t exactly electric. This is an electric car and they aren’t trying to mimic that sound.
No disrespect, but there is a lot more to be said about this car and the story of the company behind it, which is very interesting.
Mate Rimac designed the Concept One at 23 years of age as far as I know, the guy is a genius on many levels.
It is all a special phenomenon.
When Rimac was 18, he bought a 1984 BMW E30 323i, and the engine exploded on the race track.
He then changed it to an electric car when he was 19.
Subsequently, he broke many records with his now famous old green E30 323i after being laughed at first.
They challenged him to bring his "washing machine" to the tracks etc.
He also founded Greyp, a company that makes about the best electric bikes you can get.
But I'm really happy Demuro finally got the chance to have a take on Rimac.
I just saw one of these yesterday crashed in Titusville florida right outside the McLauren of Orlando dealership looks like they put it in the guard rails going around a turn. Got it all on video
28:45 I love how he compares it to the model s plaid which costs almost 20x less 😂
Try revising the Doug score so it goes by class of car. Sports car Doug score, suv Doug score, hatchback Doug score etc. It would make more sense instead of putting all shapes and sizes of cars on one grand scale
Totally agree.
It's just getting absurd...
Making different scores based on car classes would take a lot more work, as well as open up debate as to which class certain vehicles would go in. If the score does mean anything to you, just pick similar types of cars from the DougScore spreadsheet and compare them, like he does at the end of every video.
I like the restrained design.
The 'Drift' drive mode is interesting. They show it in Carwow's review.
Model 3 performance also has drift mode, for a bit less money.
Richard hammond had a lot of fun with it it seems.
@@JackMott like a lot of new cars...
I'm not sure I'd call this restrained
I disagree on Doug with the styling, looks fantastic. Kind of reminds me of the subtle styling on the Enzo
... 10:09 - only Doug can tell you all about infotainment system by showing you two different home screens at the same time (showing one home screen while he talks and the other while he scrolls)...:P
When he accelerates it sounds like the Enterprise going into warp speed. Amazing.
Cooler sounding than the regular purr of gas engines IMO
I actually kinda like that electric noise. It's definitely different than a rumbly v8, but different doesn't mean worse.
U gotta be joking 🤣🤣🤣
Said no one ever
Faster than a V8 will ever be
@@robertjebediahfreeman Jeez, what sort of cars have you been around?
@@robertjebediahfreeman we talkn bout sound … 🤔
Wish I could afford one ... can't wait to see them on the road !
I'm charmed by the look of this car and the colour is gorgeous
I have been waiting for this review for so long. Thanks, Doug. Greetings from Croatia
When Doug has a 35 minutes plus video you know it's going to be good. Thank you for the content
ok google guy
@Google Guy I know this is slightly off topic, but do you know a lot about horse racing? Can you teach me how to get into it?
Rimac
they should add like an artificial engine sound that modifiable
something crazy
That color is gorgeous!
Cool to see the rear spoiler/wing quickly popping up when Doug hits the brakes at high speed (just after 28:00 ), presumably to increase downforce (or reduce lift) at cost of aerodynamics, to improve tyre grip whilst braking.
Cost of aerodynamics? More aerodynamic drag when braking is good! Free braking!
Good for stopping at the top of a hill where
acts as an airbrake
@@JackMott totally! 👍
This has been used by Bugatti on the Veyron like... 200 years ago already?
It's called Aero brake.
Porsche Panamera Turbo ST has it.
Nothing crazy about it. Keep calm and carry on 😉
What Mate Rimac did with Rimac is simply incredible. Cant wait to know what they do with Bugatti. Hope Hammond doesnt crash it.
nothing, they own a majority stake in a joint venture with Bugatti called Bugatti-Rimac (based in Croatia) so they are not going to do anything with Bugatti, Bugatti will probably use the tech of Rimac in their cars and they have access to Bugatti's resources and maybe project's togheter but Doug is wrong about their stake in Bugatti
Wish I could disable CZcams comments sometimes
Somewhat surprised I had to scroll so far this hear about Hammond... Ahh the naive youth these days, thank you sir ;)
tie design is there because Croatians invented the ancestor of the modern tie, the 'cravat' (= the 'Croat')
47/50 That's way up there Doug!
I'm so glad you finally got to review this! I've seen it here in the Bavarian Alps as well as the earlier Rimac Model that Hammond crashed in Switzerland
Also happy to see Rimac & Bugatti & Porsche now work together under the VAG Umbrella and of course also will share Knowledge with another!
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
Just a few days ago, i was wondering, when Doug would finally get his hands on a Rimac .. and now he uploads THISSS. Feels like a dream lol
33:36...I so miss this old school Doug Score, taking us through each individual score. Please bring this back.🙏🙏🙏
I also so miss it
Great job man
6:30 the ability to change the Front / Rear power split is just awesome! For a performance car this is a great feature. 100% Rear drift machine
Doug, the car is beautiful. I usually agree with you on design and styling but not this time. A car doesn't have to look insane with six wings and a stealth fighter profile in order to be cool. Think of old Ferraris - timeless design.
this design is no where need Ferrari in terms of...well anything. The design is simply boring, it looks like a generic baby of a Koenigsegg and a Mclaren...its just not daring and doesnt have any true design features that helps build a design language for the brand. Ferraris are beautiful and muscle bound with their lines, this car is just a car.
Think about it, the looks is the only subjective score Doug gives in the weekend category. If he gave it a 10 (which i think deserves) it would have been the perfect weekend score and would have been the best overall score that Doug ever gave. I simply believe that didn't think that the car merits such a recognition, which I think it's unfair.
Dustin Green=bot by rimac
@@SchlaftaterNrzZz
Haha lol could you imagine?
@@oldben1800, every part of this car has its exact purpose, and some parts are even inspired by Croatian history, you can't rely on Doug explaining this to you cause he knows nothing about it all and hasn't invested any time or effort to get to know it, but the creator of the car explains it in details in some videos. Once again, every part of this car and every shape has its exact purpose, unlike the cars you mentioned, they also have a lot of purposeful car parts but a lot of it was sacrificed for the design, in the case of this car everything that needed to be sacrificed for the performance was sacrificed.
I love the displays in this, it looks like a video game
Imagine Doug said *”THIS, Is the new Rimac Nevera. Not just any Nevera, MY Nevera!”*
