Well whilst Ferrari are being offended can someone tell them that the SF90 looks like shit. Ta.
How about not having a sig at all?

i don't really see how else he could have handled it! He introduced the Ferrari as what it was - but the Rimac just comprehensively flattened it.
Oh I know, but Ferrari don't take kindly to such things.
0-172mph in 8.6s is mind bending, but reducing hypercars to straight-line dragsters is pretty one-dimensional :( . And whilst the Fezza is £silly, the Rimac is £5xsilly.

No really only straight line though now is it, the Rimac looked like a lot of fun drifting about (in Johnny's video) and I imagine it will beast a circuit as well.
Shame Rimac didn't get more inventive with the styling of their hypercar though.

Really like the Rimac but can't get on with the front overhang or those god-awful front lights. Rear view looks great tho.

Comments in relation to matt’s vid only. Although I didn’t see much in Jonny’s vid to allow a proper assessment. Proper laptimes would be more useful. I don’t suggest that it will be shit - just that I don’t really have anything to suggest whether it will carry that advantage into a more “real world” situation (assuming that anything is “real world” with hypercars).

I’d want to experience the Rimac once, then that will do, completely unuseable anywhere but a drag strip or clear motorway.

I do wish they would stop calling an E500 a 500E though.

The E39 M5 looks better every year also.

I've always thought as an everyday fast road car, BMW has not moved on much since the E39 M5.

T50 engine on the dyno at max revs. Sounds like an F1 car from the good old days to me 8-)

Yep, I’ve watched the T50 videos a few times now and it’s growing on me as being something very special. That noise alone is amazing 8-)

Enjoyed this, especially the first 2/3rds with the e30 and 190 anyway. Not overly annoying for an American YouTube’s.


Don’t know what suspension the e30 is on though but it looks awful, with the front end bobbing and bouncing around.

Interesting twist at the end of the video :lol: and I didn’t know it’s got a suit carrier.

Clio Williams and the Focus RS Mk1 are the prettiest hot hatches. (and Delta Integrale but I count that as rally rep)

Yep (though only two litres), but then if you're in the position to get one it would be very rude not to. Not being in that position I'd probably go for a Jag V6.
