Yup; Croatian.
YouTuber Misha Chardin (sp?) has a lot of Nurburgring Nordschleife content, was the Social media guy for Rimac. Good stuff if you’re really interested on the company.

Don’t worry once we are mostly electric some idiot will get into a wicked wreck (like all cars) and the ensuing fireball will make the government spring to action to protect everyone. Electric cars will then be neutered and the fun will be over.

Might be worth the $2.4E6 just to see the valet parking guy's eyes light up when you hand him the keys (cue the Ferris Bueler Ferrari clip).

IIRC, Richard Hammond from Top Gear drove a Rimac off of a Mountain Road at speed. That guy just can’t seem to keep the dirty side down.

What could possibly go wrong? Google “ Richard Hammond and Rimac” to find out.

In all fairness wasn't the cars fault. He hit that curve past the finish line still hauling way to fast.

The only thing loose in that car was the nut behind the wheel. He just ran right out of talent.

Take the Rimac and let the famous design house Pinanfarina re-do it and what do you get?
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you perhaps the most beautiful hyper car in existence, the Pinanfarina Battista…
What's the battery charge life like on that - 10 minutes?

I think the range is about 300 miles but of course it depends on how heavy your right foot is...Let me check my owners manual and I'll get right back to you..;-)

And that car burnt for something like a week.
I hate the guy in the video above. Or maybe its just blatant envy run amuck. Check out his garage and stable of cars. Damn. And yes the Rimac is insane.

Nope, not even close. The Pagani Huayra is undeniably the most beautiful hyper car on the planet. And it makes a way better noise than the Rimac.

Yeah, Pagani is a whole different animal. Beautiful.

That Pagani reminds me of the original Batmobile. Plus 50 years' worth of cool factor.

Pagani is the undeniable king of beautiful cars, but I humbly submit the Koenigseggs as the runners-up.
