comparison site now before we get on with the drag race we've got to do the customary car wow sound check so i'm going to rev up this ferrari let's have some twin turbo v8 noise oh that revs so smoothly look at that uh matty uh can you rev up your car i could burn front or rear tires independently or all four of them if you like but maybe not now after the drag races maybe so let's cut to some sounds that that car might make okay that's enough for that let's race right before we go i just want to ask one question like with this ferrari i've got to put into launch and i've got like about five seconds to then engage the launch control action with the right foot planted in the revs building if i don't time it right i could fluff the start have you got some kind of weird procedure that you need to go through that ribbon just hold the brake throttle as long as you wish release the brake that's it off you go okay so you've got the easy job i've got the hard job doesn't matter right so i'm ready three two [Music] [Music] what i mean this is nuts [Music] i mean i didn't get a great launch uh so matty my launch wasn't great and then um i started to go backwards we can do it again if you like i definitely want to go again because i think i might be able to do a bit better okay i want to see you do better are you taking the piss out of my midlands accent you can do the same with me with my creation accent i can't do a christian accent maybe i'll learn one i wasn't really with it on the launch i noticed his hands going up and then i had to do the launch procedure i did it in time but i'm going to be focused this time focus focus focus smashing off the light that's about start [Music] what what again it's never been so much fun getting so badly beaten whoa i had a good launch there it was pretty blooming good i still think i beat you off the line should we just talk about reaction times rather than the overall results so did you like the way i beat you off the line you spanked me rubble okay mate come just one more go i think i might be able to do a bit better absolutely let's do it it doesn't seem to care i reckon if i understand any chance i need to cheat really badly yeah got him and it's a good launch come on no no what the actual [ __ ] right i'm bored of this car can i drive your car matt i'm bored of winning as well please take the car yes i'm gonna drive it i won't drive it i want to see what happens i want to see what it feels like i've now jumped into the rimac nivera mati isn't driving the ferrari it's political reasons because he does work for lots of different manufacturers so instead i've got him to start the race so this is fun let's see what happens i want to feel this i can't wait to just see what the acceleration is like and it's much easier to launch than the ferrari apparently i can have it in any mode and as long as i put my left on the brake floor the throttle it'll know i want to launch and it's just yeah simple so let's see if i can do a good job now i'm ready to launch smashed in oh yes oh my how is the ferrari i imagine that's what it feels like to be shot out the barrel of a gun it's just insane there was a ferrari in that race it got beaten quite badly so how is it you know your car's really slow and it just did fall asleep yeah it it only did the quarter mile in 8.6 really you measured 8.6 there you have a world record for a production car congratulations matt we'll have beer tonight i just broke a world record actually actually i didn't the car did really 8.6 6.6 wow we thought we will achieve that on a prep surface we achieved like 8.7 so far so with you now you you actually got the best time so far oh it's wicked so then what exactly happened well the rimac did the standing quarter mile in 8.62 seconds which as mati said is a world record for a road car albeit an unofficial world record the ferrari meanwhile took 10 seconds to do the sunny quarter mall however the best time i had at the ferrari was in the second race where it did a 9.6 second quarter mile which is still very impressive now we have a rolling race from 50 kilometers an hour we've got the cars in their sports settings ferrari's in manual mode yeah i'll be in second gear here we go three two one go that's even madder than the launch i'll let him go a bit just because i could but that is just crazy here he is now here he is no you don't oh you could be a real nightmare with this car god what happened to you mate i'll actually let you go a little bit ahead of me just on purpose did you like fluff a gear change or something no really no no slips everything full attack qualifying mode nothing else happened and lack of power well like a thousand horsepower is not enough it's what it's not today is it let's be honest okay so gordon when you want to you can accelerate go accelerate as hard as you can towards the tent whenever you're ready just go accelerate watch this i mean this is just what it's about it's irrelevant it's irrelevant that was crazy right there yeah you lost again gordon gordon what are you doing you're playing here with me i think yeah it's so much fun as well sorry you did a good job thank you for coming now we have a brake test from 120 kilometers an hour when we reach the cones full emergency stop see which car stops in the shortest distance there we go up to speed now here we go here we go here we go here we go really i'm gonna have to get out because i'm not sure about this it's so close i think i might have a longer bonnet than you so i might have just lost but it's close oh yeah look at the doors these doors are nice okay right this is serious no way look seriously look at this this is just the saddest walk i've ever done in my life but it's a walk to victory i lost again you lost yes i can't believe that can't believe that well yeah i do like those doors well there we go uh surprised i thought my body was longer than his turns out it's not i did

This is that typical last car you unlock in those mobile racing games

Would love to see this race with a “normal” bench mark like a Golf GTI.

[u/lolparty247]

That is bonkers... The trap speed is what freaked me out the most.. 171 mph!!!

Usually 155mph is enough for a mid 8 so yeh, the rimac probably has a much much faster time in it still.... 😬😬

[u/Cod_rules]

"That Rimac just fucks off"

"If that is the future, I am so ready"

[u/mugdays]

So the 992 Turbo S came out just last year was the new drag race king.

Then the 765LT came and walloped it.

Then the SF90 came and beat that.

And now the Rimac Nevera makes the Ferrari looks slow. Jesus.

[u/TheBritishBrownie]

The way it shoots off in the rolling race, it looks like a fucking toy. Must feel insane.

[u/CWRules]

It's not surprising that the Rimac thrashed a car with half its power in a drag race, but I was really impressed by that stopping test at the end. The Rimac out-braked a car that's nearly 400 kg lighter.

[u/DanielG165]

You know your car is batshit fast when it makes a fucking SF90, a car that is scary fast, look “slow”. The Rimac has like, 900HP more than the Ferrari, but still lol. Just silly.

I guess Forza Horizon 4 is accurate in one regard: The Rimac kind of just shits on everything in the acceleration front.

In croatian Nevera is type of Mediterranean storm. It comes unexpected and is very strong, often bringing a lot of lightning.
