Electric Hypercar: Rimac Nevera 

Miro's easy-going personality and deep knowledge about this car make it one of the best episodes ever.

That guy was *SO* impressive! His attitude, manner, politeness, passion and knowledge was just incredible.

It is being build near me in Zagreb, Croatia. Makes us all proud of what Rimac created.

Jesus! Jay is a freaking beast! @35:18 he unleashes the full might of the fastest car ever built. You can hear the accelerator hit the floor. The engineer that's spent 1000's of hours with this car has his head whipped back from the acceleration. Jay just looks like someone's Grampy out on a Sunday drive. Doesn't even phase him. Boss.

Rimac knows how to present their product properly. Unlike pretty much every other manufacturer who just sends some random marketing guy to talk about the car, they brought the main test driver who knows the car in and out because he has certainly spent more time in the car than anyone else.

Our Croatian engineer rep is even more sincere and entertaining in the car with Jay driving...this guy is a serious home run in representing his company!

Of all the reps who have appeared on the channel, Miro is the finest example. Rimac is lucky to have him on board for this historical vehicle. Thanks Jay. 👍

Croatia is a country that punches well above its weight in so many categories; fast cars, art and music, and quality of the people, to name a few.

Not only can it drive a zillion miles an hour it’s a work of art , beautiful . Well done 🇭🇷 Croatia

10:16 I had no idea about the Kravat feature on the side of the car. I thought I had seen all the side intakes but this fresh new idea based on some cultural heritage looks stunning.

I remember in 2011-2012 including Rimac as the future of electric vehicles for an engineering presentation, and then not hearing much after that. Glad to see them fulfilling the dream

This is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. It's so elegant yet retains the hypercard vibe.

Had England, Germany, France, Italy etc designed/manufactured this vehicle given all their experience, it wouldn't be that impressive to me. But when a Nation of people not known for modern tech sets new boundaries in a very established sector.....that's impressive! Nothing elevates a Nations global status quicker than advanced technology! Well done Croatia.

I am glad I watched the entire video. Croatia is very well represented. The Rimac Nevera. What a gorgeous, fantastic car.

The Mclaren F1 has been my favorite car for 30 years since I first learned of its existence.. this Rimac Nevera is the most absolutely beautiful car I’ve ever seen in every way and I feel like I’m seeing and hearing about the F1 for the first time again. A timeless masterpiece has been created yet again 🙌

This is the best looking, smartest and most powerful electric car I have ever seen - and it is from tiny Croatia ! Goes to show what you can do when you really go for it. And the presenter was top notch too - he absolutely knew what he was talking about, knew every nut & bolt, and above all, was so well mannered and polite. And I learned another thing: the cravatte was invented in Croatia too. So, there you have it...

Bravo dečki. Predstaviti auto jednom takvom ljubitelju auta kao što je Leno je za mene čudo. Čovjek koji ima takve aute u garaži da se smrzneš. Još k tome predstaviti Hrvatsku baštinu. Kapa do poda. Congratulation to the guys in Rimac factory. To present Nevera to Jay Leno is for me at least good job nearly a miracle regarding the beautiful cars that he owns.

I believe Jay might have found his next vehicle to buy, he seems genuinely impressed with it

Mirooo! Man, you are a LEGEND! Im glad that i was able to meet you and hang out with you back in the days. Its amazing seeing you go from a friendly drifter on the weekends to now presenting cars to Leno. Thanks for representing Croatia in the best way.

I was in Croatia in May of '22. Great people, great food. Charming Country. A 2m+ automobile, who knew? *Nice.*

Mr. Zrnčevič is obviously very smart person...I like his way of explaining...really humble man 👌 Susjedi, imate razlog za ponos. 😎

Croatia is such a wonderful place with such warm and kind people. I wish them success with this!

I was only going to ‘dip’ into parts of this - but found myself watching the entire episode with rapt attention. Rimac presents such a positively inspiring ethos. Thank you.

You can see how much passion went into this car. Amazing.

Rimac has never missed a beat. So impressive considering how young a company they still are. And this representative was extremely knowledgeable as well. Well done Jay on inviting them to the garage. They deserve their success.

congrats Miroslav! well done. when I saw this video i honestly was not that interested in watching it, but i'm glad i did. this is easily one of my top 3 favorite episodes. what an excellent job in the car and in representing your company and country.

If everything is actually the way this car seems, Jay is right, the Nevera will be the standard moving forward. Over the top power and outstanding design, this is truly a BEAUTIFUL CAR with ultimate capabilities. Like so many other hyper cars, the capabilities and potential belong on a track where the driver will need some time in the car to understand how he will live with this creation… Styling is outstanding and is overshadowed by the engineering. Well done!

yes, Yes, YES! A car like this is about DRIVING not selling. Having a driving guy opposed to a selling guy showcasing it, is beyond appropriate and right. 7:39 what a gorgeous beast.

I am blown away as to how Mate has built this company. Talk about putting Croatia on the map. Every person I’ve seen from the company has been top of the game.

As Croatian Canadian I am so proud of Rimac what thy have don. I been waiting for this video to come :) Very well don Jay I hope you buy one of this monster car.

Jay’s knowledge of cars is amazing to me He always asks the questions we all want to know I really enjoyed this episode I did not catch the reps name but I love his sense of humor His reaction when Jay punched it the first time was priceless Love this 🇭🇷 and his company

I am not Croatian. But I am a European from a similarly small country. And I am still proud of what is being built in my neighborhood, what visions are being lived out there. Thank you, Mr. Rimac. And Jay: Enjoy your everyday car.

The guest's question/observation noticing the the police car beside them, "They still use the crown vics??" 😄

This is the first electric car I like. BTW, the Croats also make quality guns. Gotta love them...

I didn't get to drive it Jay so no I didn't like it as much as you did. lol It is a phenomenal looking car and the engineering behind it is second to none, incredibly impressive piece of machinery from Rimac. And I know a little about Croatia from the former Croatian professional basketball player and New Jersey Nets of the NBA R.I.P. Dražen Petrović. ♥

This entire episode is so very impressive on so many levels, it truly mind boggling. What a wonderful introduction to a new innovative car. Just brilliant. Hats off to both presenters... inspiring.

Our guy from Croatia is very good at explaining the many complexities in the design of this vehicle. I like his style of presentation, especially being an engineer, plus he has learned English which gives him even more kudos from me!

Every time I see a video about Rimac, Mate or the Nevera I hit play...it's an amazing company. The Rimac company on its own is incredibly impressive, now with its connections with Bugatti, Porsche and others, it's truly inspiring what Mate and team have accomplished!...Great video, great representation by Miroslav and truly a great automobile...now where did I leave that 2 million dollars?, It was right here.

I've been a car guy my entire life and I can appreciate the "bleeding edge" automotive technology as much, if not more than the next guy, but at $2,500,000.00 I would expect more. It's really just the same old basic automotive technology for which 90% of it goes unused and therefore wasted. Case in point. I drive a 2010 Malibu LTZ. Bought it used in 2014 for $12,800.00. It comfortably transports twice as many people as the Rimac Nevera in just as much comfort. During rush hour commute, I was driving a major multi-lane route on my way to a doctor's appointment. This route frequently comes to a complete stop or crawls along between 8 and 14 mph. During that drive, a guy in a Tesla Plaid addition was in the lane next to me. Throughout the entire drive, we were neck and neck. Sometimes I was ahead and sometimes he was. Now a Tesla Plaid is not near as expensive as the Rimac Nevera and either would out perform my Malibu if we were the only cars on the road. The problem is real life is not like a car commercial where the performance car being advertised is all alone driving at its full potential. Driving, at least around where I live, is a pot holed piece of pavement, constantly under construction, clogged with school buses, old folks, soccer moms in SUV's and bozos that drive for 20 miles with their left hand turn signals on and never make a turn. Therefore, the extra $2,487,200.00 spent for that Rimac Nevera over my Malibu would just be wasted. A nice toy for the wealthy, but not a car I see being sold in the millions. (Unless we are talking price! :-D) In addition, I had to laugh when Jay said he had never seen that color before. He should check out the 1966, Pontiac Motor Division color that I believe was called Marina Turquoise. Of course, these are just a bunch of thoughts from a wise crackin' old guy! Having said all that, kudos to the guys at Rimac who have built a truly high tech piece of automotive hardware and to Jay for showcasing it to us.

What an absolute beast of a vehicle. I love the Nevera so much, very glad to see Jay take a look at it!

Miroslav, Mate and the team are great guys, I've never seen Jay talk so much and have so much fun

48.32 Jay dusts off another runner, with ease, Kudos to Croatia & all involved. She is a stunning beauty, Electro-Muscle car for sure.

Very cool car. Love that EV's are maintaining a following into Supercars.

Wow, probably the best JLG video I’ve seen yet. This guy is a “car guy”! And I’m sure everyone in development is also. Thanks for the video.

Hey,, let's sell a $2.5 million dollar--state of the art super car...who can we get to represent us as a car company? Well, this is my fourth posting , my third time watching this video, and I can't get beyond this Croatian man's sincere presentation. Jay has given us a great video of a company that is driven to succeed. It is one of the most balanced offerings I have seen here in two years. Well done...and remember what was happening in Croatia in the early 90's. What a company!

This is it. This is the most beautiful car I have ever seen. The paint and color is beyond belief. I was glued to the screen watching this episode. These are the episodes that take my mind off the nutty world we live in. I just wish it could have lasted longer. Thanks Mr. Leno

This car is completely top shelf. From Mate to the entire team and the car itself is pure inspiration of what can be done with a vision and tenacity regardless of your location or background. Čestitamo!

there are a lot of "hypercars" out there, and all are similar in shape and design. This Rimac is a flat out stunner; the wheels are PERFECT; and that color is 🔥🔥🔥

Really impressive. Hats off to the lovely nation of Croatia! My new favorite EV. I'll take two please.😎

I don't normally like the new car "product placement" sales pitch episodes, but this car is utterly fantastic. Not to mention the rep wasn't a pure sales guy, more of a pure car guy.

I just drove this car today at Car Week at Monterey. It was completely insane. I've driven McLaren's and this is the most incredibly bonkers of anything I've driven. It was even raining and taking corners at ungodly speeds! I dislike electric cars intensely but this made me a fanboy!

For such a new company to develop a car to that refinement, those power numbers and most notably completely built in house other that tires and brakes is amazing. Nothing is outsourced.

26:00 "Very easy to get into" as Jay drops half a metre and slams into the seat. He's getting old but he's still great !

When Jay says "that's incredible," you have to know it's badass!

This car is possibly one of the best cars I have seen that is Electric and appears to have all of the things that represent everything built in house. The quality is there and well represented.

When you think about the vehicles Jay has driven and how much he loves automobiles. Then you can begin to imagine how good this automobile is! I'm so excited to see how the upcoming hybrid car at Bugatti turns out. I like as a Porsche shareholder - that they have a significant stake in Rimac! By the way, they have been working together for a very long time - so I'm looking forward to the upcoming models at Porsche just the same!

The reason Mate’ went from hobby drag racer to head cheese at Bugatti in no time is the amazing people Rimac employs. He is a genius!

Croatia can be Proud of this Company 👌🇭🇷🔥

This is one of the few episodes where the guest has more information than Jay does, understandably so, but it’s still a rarity and makes you appreciate just how vast Jay’s knowledge base is, but shows there’s always more to learn.

Probably the first EV that is truly beautiful (in my opinion)

47:31 now what he didn’t mention, is that the first customer car belongs to F1 champion Nico Rosberg

Miro is excellent! Mate Rimac with Miro knows how to present their product properly. Unlike pretty much every other hyperca OEM who just sends some random marketing guy to talk about the car, they brought the main test driver who knows the car in and out because he has certainly spent more time in the car than anyone else - Croatia should be proud plus Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Austrian Empire now in Croatia!

I've never seen the Tonight Show with Jay Leno or any of those American late night shows, But it's so charming to see how he puts his guests at ease, They are nervous for whatever reasons when they come out and meet him and by the end he has them laughing and trying to crack some jokes of their own.

So warm conversation. Pleasure to watch! Nevera is so impresive in many fields. Exciting to see what future would bring us since this is actually their 1st car if we don't count concept. Rimac makes our country proud again;-)

It's always one-pedal driving in my EV. I am so used to that it feels foreign to me without it. I've never seen Jay talking so little as Miroslav Zrncevic is so knowledgeable in regards to this powerful EV. Wonderful car but totally out my reach and more than likely my skills. Great review!

I'm not usually a fan of greenish colors, but THAT COLOR is amazing.

The car is great. Design, color, ergonomics, all at the highest level. Now show her the time at the Nürburgring. 😐🤨

Mrgud mu je održao usput i lagano predavanje iz povijesti 😊

If I could buy two new cars I'd buy a Shelby GT 500 Mustang (I've owned 5 Mustangs) and one of these. This car is amazing. It's the future of hyper performance cars here right now. My mind can't fathom doing the quarter mile in 8.52 seconds (World Record for a production car) in a car I drove to the track.

Jay, this car for me is probably the most beautiful simple design of lines that I Have seen since the 1966 GT40 MR2 The lines on this car are just so simple and beautiful. It really got my attention as soon as I've seen the car. Give this man my congratulations on the design of this car.Just wow wow beautiful just beautiful, Thank you so much for the video.

What an insane ride, and that guy is a really good representative for the company also seems like him and Jay get along pretty well

For me, this is the *coolest* looking car I've seen since their Concept One. If I was rich, I would have a Volvo for street parking trips to the city centre. And this for everything else. No big car collection. Just that. It's so perfectly proportioned. It's just fantastic !

First electric car to get my attention… ill design, killer color combos, and the rep was great!

Incredible piece of engineering. Thanks Rimac and thank you Jay Leno.

Happy that people from the countries in the neighbourhood are doing such an amazing work.Also didn't actually know the origin of the word cravata(necktie), since we call it the same in Romanian, kind of.

I met the makers at Pebble and spoke with them for an extended period. They are very serious, very intelligent and very driven to make this car, well, the ultimate electric. There's a lot going on behind the scenes with some politics blended in of course, but this should be close, if not the most sophisticated, all electric car on earth.

ironic twist.. Tesla was born in Croatia. I match ancient graves in the small town of "smiljan" . I do not know who those dead people are.. but that is how I learned where nikola telsa was born. Nice car, love the technology and even the color.

I watch pretty much every Leno's Garage episode -- I was so thankful for the episodes by himself during the COVID months. But I have to call Jay out here. A timeless design, he opined. OK. Subjective opinion. But timeless, not a lot of wings and scoops all over it? Ahhhhhhh. Maybe he's looking at his McLaren F1 across the garage. Keep 'em coming Jay.

This is awesome! - Great visual/engineering design, - Passionate people developing the car, - And be proud of country's history to include it in the design.

Incredible Vehicle. Mate Rimac is a genus at only 34 years old. Started this company at 21 years old. He was basically a mechanical genius winning numerous automation awards in Highschool.

Ya know this is a bitter-sweet moment for me. In the last decade it seems automobile manufacturing in the sports car segment has really reached a pinnacle - A point where the the whole car - engine, transmission, and chassis, etc has been pretty much perfected - They're efficient, fast, tight, and enjoyable. Take the new Mustang Mach 1 for example that was recently reviewed - its like the best of everything engendered well. And just when the combustion car has been perfected, we're going to be saying goodbye to it. It seems that's the way many technologies evolve. They get to a point where the product is perfected to such a degree that there is no other option but to evolve into something different. Now granted, I don't think combustion engines will be gone overnight, but I think you get the gist of what I'm saying and the emotions and sentiment behind it. And although someday, in the not to distant future, the combustion engine will be gone from new car manufacturing the memories and accomplishments of the past in terms of chassis design, brakes, suspension, etc. will be carried forward. The sweet part to this bitter-sweet evolution is that we will get amazing electric motors and technology like this Rimac Nevera. And when electric wheeled motor cars reach their pinnacle, the only next step in evolution is flying cars I would imagine. Even though its a bit sad to say goodby to the past, evolution like this is a good thing!

Amazing car for just 5yrs in production! They just set the new fastest electric production car record with this car! This thing is stupid fast! 👌🏆

From such a small company,small country and small city and your car is reviewed by Jay Leno is a dream come true

Man I got nervous when I saw the cop car! Outstanding. I’ve been dreaming the 4 motor thing for many years. Nice to see it implemented in a supercar. Congratulations Croatia.

This Remac Nevera is absolutely a game changer. I can't wait to see what other projects Rimac-Bugatti introduces to the market moving forward. Love it Jay. Thank you for the review!

Got a ride in the old 2017 Rimac and that was mental. Actually scared me and hurt my neck when accelerating. I think this same guy was driving it. It was in the woods around Monterey if I remember correctly

Loved the episode but I should just stop looking up how much any of these cars and just enjoy them and quit day dreaming about going out and seeing these in my garage. This car looks amazing and seems like one heck of a car to own! Love seeing what people are doing with electric cars, especially outside of Tesla and the established brands.

So nice to be from Croatia and watch Nevera on Jay Leno’s Garage . Bravo Mate , stvarno si car

You nailed it Jay,I had to know if the brake lights work with re-gen Braking ,answer 40 mins in ,of course YES! These guys have really thought out this amazing car.BRAVO!

Proud...thats the only word i can think of as a Croatian guy...just proud...👏👏👏👏

Love how Jay starts talking about the motor is built with a carbon sleeve the engineer immediately changes to other carbon body bits and Jay immediately picks it up and moves on . Jay is truly a car guy and knows the business enough to know when certain topics are kinda off limits.

every single bit of technology developed and integrated in this car is so impressive, but what really makes me say wow are the little things that show how with clever engineering you can solve big problems - many have been pointed out in this great episode, ill just mention the one that was overlooked but to me gives a wow effect - the car hood air intake moves independently and as you are increasing the speed of the car it positions itself in such a way to "direct" the airflow to push down the front of the car, so the faster you are driving the more "pinned" the car is to the ground. this is in my book the dictionary example of saying "if it looks stupid but it works, then it's not stupid".

Just few days ago I saw exactly this one on the road in Zagreb, i think Mate was driving🤔 and it looks even better than on videos or photos. It's sooo awesome and quiet but badass! 😄 Amazing work Mate!

Design of this car is one of the best in history… for me! I cant get over how beautiful this car is

I remember the first Croatian supercar I saw and I wanted it. This one is light years ahead of that one. Mate Rimac has built a car that will last many years longer than any other cars in the world.

What a amazing ride. Way to go Croatia.

i am from croatia and i am proud of this hypercar being produced jay thanks for introduction of croatian hypercar nice video.

1.6 million hours. I know combined from every member of the team. But wow. That blew my mind. Amazing things take time.

Stunning car made in a stunning country.

Good lord! What a beautiful car. The color alone is incredible. It looks like a metallic pearl. Congrats to all at Rimac.
