Rimac founder talks about making a car.

Rimac car has no appeal for me but I found this clip quite interesting.

Added to the watch list, thx.

Not much love for Rimac. Mostly because their formula seems to be leaping before they can run. I'm all for building cool cars but, it is a huge stretch to go from an Electric converted M3 to a top tier hyper car.

There are plenty of bike companies aiming for the lower half of the market, what's wrong with (this) one aiming for the top?

I thought the car being subjected to the rig more interesting than the car itself in this video.
