The Future of Technology at Rimac | Mondays with Mate 13 

Two passionate guys talking about cars and technology. Love it

It's very rare when you get an opportunity to listen to a CEO and CTO of a company sit down and talk business and their passion. Something you don't learn from school. Please do post more videos like these.

The passion and excitement is 100% transparent on camera - looks like the Rimac group has a rockstar team! Love the appreciation for details and engineering nerdy info, keep up the excellent work to set the new hypercar standard 👍

Wow, thanks for letting us into this meeting! This was clearly a real dialogue and that is a special thing to get to see!

What stood out to me during the conversation was when he buys a race car he takes it home and completely disable the car completely and puts it back together and I'd imagine what a nice job he does maybe making it better in every way

These videos are such an inspiration to many young engineers around the world.

It's great and refreshing that you are taking your time. To sit down. To talk. To show us your world. To be honest and open. Chapeau!

so when do we see a C2 rip round the ring with Mischa ?

PIKES PEAK 2021!!!

Mate mentioning Gordon Murray's T50 is interesting, as this, along with the Rimac, are probably the only two genuine mega cars. Genuine in that they go full on in the direction they have chosen. They are basically polar opposites, but stil have menu things in common. No holes barred engineering is the common denominator. The T50 is an analogue, extremely light weight, Normally Aspirated car. The Rimac C2 is electric, have a lot of driver aids, even a driver coach, torque vectoring, both have a variation of active aero - and so much more. The ultimate test would be to pit the T50 against the C2. Two great cars, which both will be important in the car history. So cool!

Amazing to have Chris on the channel so soon after him joining the company!

Another inspiring video! Thank you so much! Thanks to you, I still believe in the future of the automotive industry.

Haven't seen the video yet, but I am sure it is very good. Hugs from Mexico to all Rimac family.

thats one meeting i am glad i was a part of!=)

Thanks for the video and stay safe ✌️

Amazing openness and "chapeu bas" to the technical prowess on both parts. Thank for making these videos.😉

Great video! Really interesting to hear Chris’s experience and nice technical chat. I always appreciate the level of detail that Rimac videos have. Most car companies are all about just selling car finance and have no interest in the actual product.

Love the passion...it just makes you smile...

Ken Block has been working with Ford to produce a lot of electric racecars recently. You should consider inviting him to check out Rimac if you're comfortable with him Hooning a car. That would be huge for publicity if his contract with Ford will allow it.

Fantastic insight. Cheers for the video, chaps

I really enjoyed this episode, the passion and excitement for the future was clear to see.

I'm amazed on how open and fresh this series is. Had Rimac grown out of a project done by a one of the established brands, no way. So electric cars haven't only disrupted drive lines, but PR work and branding too. Impressive 👍👏😁

With Chris' background, we could even imagine Rimac might want to take part in Dakar rallies. Be it the cars or trucks. A battery swap station at every gas stop, would be fair, right?

Two passionate guys talking about perfection!!! It's that simple...

Very interesting conversation, thank you!

How are there not more likes on this? It's refreshing to get this look into the heart of the company

Very interesting video not only from technologybut also many other different views. Thanks for sharing! 👍

This is one of the most interesting car talk video I've seen so far

Love this channel.

10 more of these videos and I can start my own company! Damnn! Keep em coming please

Chris, welcome to Croatia!

You guys are great 💪

This is amazing!

Definitely looking for new surprises!

This looks like a job interview 😉

koenigsegg, mclaren, pagani and rimac are my top four car manufactors I like

Love Rimac!

Best day of the week, hope to work there some time soon :D

Really interesting video.

Thank you for bringing us these videos. Do you ever see a

So when are we going to see Jay Leno for the first time at Rimac in Croatia? I'm quiet sure he would give a awesome episode and also be a cool guy for Mate to meet.

Hi Mate, beautiful commentary about ev cars and some technology as well..one thing I would like to five an idea of is, have you guys ever thought about making a SUV with the aprouch of the C2 tech? Have you seen the ones had been launched by some well named enterprises.. that's would worth a really good though and also in future that would have a good revenue into the Rimac.. what you think about this guys? Thanks ☺️

Will you make races with the C2, like Pikes Peek?

Since he mentioned (in other videos) that they are doing tests that are not for low volume manufactures, I guess he is preparing for manufacturing averege consumer cars. But, also, we can feel vibe of that when they are speaking. Would love that!

I bet the new car will be mass produce. From 8 to 120 to...50.000 a year or more? Do what Fisker is threatening to do. A software platform that allows for all kinds of batteries and motors and chassis. Make a Porsche 911 challenger, maybe even a McLaren challengers, but then a battery powered one. By the time the car is ready, Tesla may be selling their cells to third parties already. Cells that will drop hundreds of kilograms from a long range car such as the C_Two. Imagine a C_two that weighs as little as a Porsche 918 Spyder, but still lots more power and plenty of range for GT duties. After Koengigsegg launching a full hybrid 4-seater, Rimac might make a spacious Taycan like car. But lots and lots lighter. If they go for cars that can be sold in the thousands, price needs to come down and efficiency is key. There are strong rumors that the Korean cars get their efficiency from Rimac technology. Imagine a nice estate car that had Tesla-like performance, similar or even better efficienecy and a lovely not-a-Tesla look. I bet Mate wants his country to become a serious player in manufacturing. Going a similar path to Tesla's, but always doing more technology consulting on the side, could make this a reality.

Good video

Would anyone be interested in designing an electric RACE car with me? Inpired by all the good things from Gordon Murray's T50, Rimac's technologies, Porsche 919 Evo, simply make the fastest possible race car and then lock the specification, sell cars for one or multiple race series. Road version optional. With the best battery and aerodynamics technology, mated to clever chassis design, I strongly feel a BEV can be build that keeps up with a Formula2 car over a race with one or 2 pitstops. Whatever weight penalty there would be over F2, like 919 Evo did to match even F1, would be overcome with much more flexible (T50 inspired, maybe doubled fan) downforce and really low air drag at speed. And of course AWD for acceleration and regen from the front axle that's usually not in play in circuit racing cars. The battery (or at least the part that provides range energy) would be swappable. It sits in a tray that can be wheeled out from the side during a pits stop. Should be possible to do quicker than a pitstop at LeMans. Let alone during driver swaps. A "hybrid" high power density battery might still be employed, fixed inside the car, to take care of high-inflow regenerative braking without overheating, dumping it to the wheels accelerating out of corners and doing that many thousands of times over the life of the battery. This removes load from the range battery allowing it to be capable of lower discharge C rating, in effect also allowing for less cooling, cell and overall weight to get far enough at race speed to complete a decent stint. When the car has multiple batteries "sizes" (weight really) to swap between, during a race choice can be made for a long stint or a fast stint. Especially if output power from the range battery is limited, the lower weight of a smaller battery would mean faster laptimes. The T50's fan in streamline mode...imagine having two of those, reducing overall drag by around 20% or more at 250+ kph. It would save energy over a race and allow cars to be spectacularly fast for spectators. In corners where you need it, drag could be introduced along with downforce. Very clever from Gordon Murray. Helpful for EVs that are having problems going fast for an extended amount of time without stopping. Our race car would be able to match LeMans winning cars over a 24 hour race. How? Similar weight or a bit more, shorter stints but faster pit stops, better aerodynamics to make high speeds, both on straights and through corners possible. When Tesla starts selling better cells, a 25 minute stint will become a 35 minute stint. Not at Formula E pace but F2/LMP1 pace!

Cannot say too much.. aaaaaggggghhhrrrrr! When can you say what's next?

21:03...where do i sign?

What is the C_2's maximum magnetic braking power? The Formula E cars achieve huge kW values using magnetic braking (just from rear wheels!), and planned power from Gen-3 magnetic braking goes much higher (with generator on front axle). What changes to drivetrain and electronics is necessary to allow large power recovery? How is one-pedal driving programmed to accommodate such rapid magnetic braking when pulling back on pedal, given that drivers of fossil cars tend to just let completely off accelerator when they want to slow even a little bit? (I drive a Model Y, and almost never use the brake pedal.)

21:03...Where do i sign to become an intern?

The curiosity of what these two petrolhead gentlemen are thinking of doing next as their "once in a lifetime opportunity" is just astounding. I am also looking forward to a video with Ana to talk about the battery control algorithms and of course the Drift mode as well. P.S. - I am a Cranfield University alumnus same as Chris

Mate sluša li te concept one

What would be the future business model Mate as you mentioned earlier in this video about several exciting product or project will going to execute? Are those projects will be in similar to C2 or will you give surprise to whole world with first of its kind technology?

I wonder if you thought about the Rimac F1 car ?, whether the charge could be reduced to a comparable speed as in the formula?, f1without the Doppler effect!

Sound like Tesla's Octa Valve and Heat pump might make a great addition to Rimac, would you consider licensing tech from them ?

the huge performance of the ev undoubtedly beats all competitors.. but I wished the only cars evolved to a much more beautiful car. Look at koinesseg or Ferrari, even porsche, they're are amazing to look at

what other areas besides automotive are you interested in

Što nisam završio neki dobar fax da radim sa ovim fenomenalnim, strastvenim ljudima! :/

❤️❤️❤️

Have you ever thought about building a full-electric single-seater race-car? Something like Formula E with road omologation.

I think the other things is the partnerships with maybe Merc or BMW and building a car for them, volume.

I hope you guys are working on an electric Elise-type car. A challenge that no-one has accepted yet is to deliver a lightweight EV with a modest but adequate range. Please consider. (but let me know before I EV-convert my S1 Elise...)

When is the first car going to be tested publicly & when is the first delivery expected?

3rd but first in uk

I cant believe Mate is only 32 years old

When will Chris Porritt get his Rimac shirts? :-). He is the first Rimac employee in any video who did not wear a branded shirt....

so tell us about Rimac and Bugatti!

I agree, if you ones drove a higher level electric car it’s not going to move back to combustion car ⚡️🔋🏁

I am going to try and spit ball what the next big thing for Rimac is going to be entering Formula E or Pikes peak race car.

Mate kad budete nam otkrili ime auta.

Hi Mate, is electric (heavier) car worse at breaking??? Heavier car means more force is pushing it forward but at the same time more force is pushing it down. I would assume it breaks exactly the same as regular car. Here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZUwRnBhtevE.html Ken Block says about it. Is it because ratio aero:weight is higher in lighter car? Does it affect breaking so much???

Wouldn't it be nice to be one of those other people to try it?

which degree does chis have I also want to work at rimac I am a student

I think,light(smaller battery)Track limited edition and light TOP SPEED(500kmh)limited edition!! And future Hypercar design to be more FUTURISTIC(But not to much) 👋😉🤳👽👽👀

Big fan of Rimac and I am sure you'll be successful beyond what you already are. But, there is no such thing as zero emission (quoted), zero tail pipe emissions yes, sure. CO2 from production process is interestingly greater compared to conventional cars. How many driven miles to balance the sheet? Regarding actual driving, how many people will keep their financed car beyond 2/3years?...

12:10

A hyper electric SUV???

Sta ti je, Mate? Reading between the lines, I think you've hired a British bureaucrat, not a CTO. Documentation, processes, program management, plan, verification, suppliers, tuning, value engineering, speaking in platitudes...I think he's more of a COO and incrementalist, not even close to a disruptive CTO. But, that's my opinion and you're clearly in love. I hope he's not a wet blanket on the fun and creativity your people have enjoyed to this point as far as future machines go.

I was watching Trump vs Biden debate before this video, and this so relaxing.

Reduce vehicle weight while maintaining range: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uKKOa3d9bJE.html

feels like Rimac is much more ambitious than Pagani, Koenigsegg - niche hyper car makers. Rimac could do so much more!

2nd! From Kenya, so first in Africa! lol

EVs are cool and all but can they take part in 24 hrs Lemans.

🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷💪

I want a battery that lasts 2,000 km with one charge - and a complete charge separation happens within 5 minutes. And: the car has to ne completely autonomous. I don't want to own a car. I want to order a vehicle like a pizza. It then delivers itself to my position (regardless where I am). And after I am done with it driving me, and object, other people or animals around it just drives off after I, the people exit - respectively the animals or objects are removed. So I can order the kind of vehicle I need for any situation.

When you 're so obviously splurging Mate, toss me a coin, too! Oh yeah, and say hello to Božo Težak for me!

Izgleda da englez zna sto radi.

Homogeneous! I had to look that one up, I thought that was a very intelligent gay person.

I think i might stop wasting my time watching videos about cars i will never own,

C'est un dinosaure il n'a rien à faire ici

first, because nobody cares 😁👍

this guy annoyed me. didnt want to continue after 3 minutes. first time

Prevedi da Hrvati isto znaju sta pricate ili ti je to svejedno, jesi li i ti britanac posto
