This Is How Rimac Builds Its All-Electric Hypercars
This Is How Rimac Builds Its All-Electric Hypercars-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:02

Croatian electric supercar company has been building its reputation as one of the leading expertises on electric hypercars (and their parts) since its inception in 2009. But if you’ve ever wanted to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the factory looks, you’re in luck—founder Mate Rimac is here to take you through it.

Rimac has one of those fairy tale origin stories that get cited as the rags-to-riches ideal: Mate Rimac started out working solo in a garage before building his (and his company’s) reputation to the point where it can build absurd cars like the while also supplying manufacturers like Porsche, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, and Automobili Pininfarina with electric tech. Rimac opened its first shop in Sveta Nedelja, Croatia—and it’s still based there a full decade later.

Now, in a four-part series, Mate Rimac himself takes viewers through the build process. Only the first two parts are currently available, but, honestly, they’re pretty fascinating:

The first part starts off with some of the basics: namely, the tooling department. It’s a surprisingly in-depth look at what, exactly, it takes to manufacture a super car. How hard is it to work with carbon fiber? What’s the welding process like? How in the absolute hell is Rimac building electric powertrains and wiring systems by hand? The first video gives you all the details—and how things have started changing as the company has moved beyond mere prototypes.

The second video is where things start to get more in-depth. The focus is really on how Rimac is getting ready for production of the C_Two. It’s been a while since I really dived into how damn complex composites production is—but Mate Rimac brings it back down to earth for viewers.

Rimac wiped the slate clean when it approached the engineering of its second-generation electric…

You’ll also get an insider’s look at battery assembly, which was one of the more fascinating parts of the video—especially the in-house built, electric motor dyno testing system. It’s wild to realize that this company is only ten years old, and yet it’s developed some incredibly high-tech equipment.

Mate Rimac himself is really knowledgable and passionate about his own company, which makes it easy to devour the videos. It’s Friday—treat yourself.

Here's a Lexus LFA Testing At The Nürburgring In 2019 For Whatever Reason
Near as I can tell, the current year is 2019. The was built in 2011 and 2012. So why, pray tell, is Lexus testing a weird widebody-looking LFA at the Nürburgring right now? I have theories. (Also, it’s out there dancing with a Bugatti Chiron, which is just not something...

Here's How Hilariously the Huge 2019 BMW X7 Grille Fits on an old E30
I thought we were done laughing about the breadth of the ’s nostrils, but then car writer Jason Cammisa went ahead and took the effort to physically face-swap BMW’s enormous SUV with the iconic E30 and frankly it’s hilarious. I should probably disclose that I actually love the X7–driving that...

Philly Is the City of Brotherly Love Unless Your Brother Drives an Orange Car Apparently
Now, I know nothing here is close to the sorts of discrimination people suffer every day based on their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever, but this is still absolutely maddening and completely inane. Here’s the deal: there’s a man with an orange 2007 Volkswagen GTI (a coveted...
