    News recently broke that Volkswagen would be selling the Bugatti brand to Croatian EV start up Rimac. But how did a tiny company who sold even less cars than Bugatti get the deal done? We'll tell ya.

One thing that should be noted about Rimac, is that Mate got the capital to make his car, because he made and sold of all the individual components that became the concept one. He was a parts manufacturer that became a car manufacturer.

    literally every top gear/grand tour fan knows about rimac. that's millions of people. they're hardly an unknown name.
    also, the crash with Richard Hammond was, at the time, presumed to be due to the on-board computer producing an adjustment from the torque-vectoring traction control system. the variables created by cresting a hill, on a turn, while braking... were unprecedented for the car's accepted parameters causing it to behave unpredictably and it went off the side of the mountain. in my opinion, it was not too much for him to handle. there is a joint video on the Drivetribe channel with Hammond and Mr Rimac that discuss it in legally curated details. though as time has moved on, Rimac dispute this claim of any TVS malfunction.

      What they said is correct, i think Donut Media made a video about it... VW bought EVERYTHING from Rolls Royce (the car company part, not the aviation company part), but they forgot to buy the damn name. So BMW snatched up the Rolls Royce name, they didnt even need the plans for what was then "current gen" models because BMW where the main suppliers for Rolls Royce. So VW bought all OLD plans and models, while BMW bought the name and developed a new generation of Rolls Royce. So VW thought they bought RR (which is why RR is in the list in the video), but later found out they didnt buy the most important thing from RR, the name.

      Dude, it's just not gonna happen. Some of you whine about Science Garage not coming back. Well B2B IS the new Science Garage. Donut listened to you guy's requests to bring back Science Garage, but it wasn't like they could bring Bart back from his job at Car and Driver. So they converted B2B into a science show. Now stop complaining

      What they said is correct, i think Donut Media made a video about it... VW bought EVERYTHING from Rolls Royce (the car company part, not the aviation company part), but they forgot to buy the damn name. So BMW snatched up the Rolls Royce name, they didnt even need the plans for what was then "current gen" models because BMW where the main suppliers for Rolls Royce. So VW bought all OLD plans and models, while BMW bought the name and developed a new generation of Rolls Royce. So VW thought they bought RR (which is why RR is in the list in the video), but later found out they didnt buy the most important thing from RR, the name.

      BMW vs. VW (VAG or Porsche group).
      Interesting story: One company owns Rolls-Royse production, the other one owns the brand name.

    This is a great deal for sports car enthusiasts. I like reading that we are going to get some amazing cars still. Yes I prefer gasoline powered beasts and I hope that we have some more greats till we go fully electric. Hopefully that is the case and at an affordable price point. (:
