    That's an ad. They didn't even use LC even though they said they would. Bad joke.

    You're the biggest Laferrari apologist on this forum, man. It lost to a car with more power, better traction and instant torque. So what?

    Question, do you own a Laferrari? I've never seen you comment on any video where Ferrari loses without claiming it was flawed or faked or something else. If you own a Laferrari you know it's amazing and you're presumably sitting on a massive positive equity position. If you don't, why do you defend it so?

    I never heard of Rimac before so thanks for bringing this intriguing concept to my attention.

    Being a LaF owner, I think Wow, Good for Rimac (even though I never heard of them B4). That car must be impressive and I give it ALL the credit! That's a FAST car!

    Even the name of car is Concept_One, the car is actually in production. There is also Concept_S which is more powerful, lighter version with better aero pack :)
    It is worth of mentioning that they are working on Concept_3 car that will be even bigger beast :D
    Rimac is tech company building parts and tech for other brands. They did electric part of powertrain for Koenigsegg Reggera ;)

    They claim the concept S does 0-200 kph in 5.6 seconds and 0-300 in under 13. Given the ridiculous performance of the concept one I may buy it.

    Actually the petrol car did better than I expected compared to that electric thing. I was more impresseed by that drag race between an electric Smart and a F430: the Smart was already at full speed while the F430 was still trying to get some grip.

    So you didn't notice that the LF wasn't revving (LC deployed) when it launched? This was not a test, it was a commercial produced by the Rimac makers. If you can't see that... Other than that, impressive piece of engineering that Concept One; no argument about that.

    It was revving though, turn up your speakers. Quit making excuses for Laf. It is an amazing car it doesn't need them.

    Doesn't matter. The Rimac pulled it hard anyway. Was pulling away even from 170 - 250 kph.

    Credit where it is due. But an electric car is like a blow up doll. Even if she looks like Gisele Bundchen, it's not the real deal.

    making just the wheels spin fast doesn't make a car to be the best in the wrld,
    that said, electric cars just go into one separate category: electric cars :D

    220V (12V) < V12 forever :D

    Perfect demonstration of the tech's potential.

    A tiny company using first generation EV tech destroys the best a brand like Ferrari have to offer.

    People need to use rationality more often instead to be invaded by red mist. Above all there is the logic and phisic laws both factors not associated with the development. People flaw that point. The case of Rimac is that solution is a bomb of torque in comparison to the mass. During acceleration runs the torque and the relationship and product between this, gearing and mass are the main factors.
