Watch The Mad Rimac Concept One Annihilate A Porsche 918 Spyder
A couple of months ago we saw the crazy 1088bhp best a LaFerrari in a drag race. In this video from Salomondrin, the electric supercar has another of the Holy Trinity in its sights...
We’ve gotten used to seeing Teslas making supercars look silly in drag races, so where do we progress from here in the world of electric vs unleaded YouTube battles? The answer comes in the form of the Rimac Concept one. We’ve already seen this crazed, 1088bhp monster best a LaFerrari, and now thanks to Salomondrin - the multiple supercar owning dude who likes to say ‘cupbangers a lot - we get to find out how it fares against a Porsche 918 Spyder.
Sure enough, the superfast EV and its 1180lb ft of torque beat Stuttgart’s finest across the line. So, when’s the Rimac vs McLaren P1 race happening?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Kroejshn pawr.
Basically, an Electric Car is leaving the Holy Trinity for dead.
In a dragrace, not on the track
Those feels
Comments of month!!! :D
Salomondrin the V.I.P Porsche Collector is awesome!!!
But the 918 looks nicer
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Send in the 2jzs
It’s the electric terminator
Is that Momo’s 919?
Nope
I can say it’s not often we Croats can be proud of something else beside beautiful nature and great food/winve.
Still waiting for my job interview with Mr. Mate.. .. Would be nice if CT had an insider in the Rimac company :)
In my opinion, this is stupid, supercars arent drag only machines, they are prepared for circuit use. I bet that the concept one cant complete even one lap in the ‘ring. And if it completes at least one, im sure its time isnt comparable with the time of these supercars
And sorry for my english -.-
You’ll just have to find out.
Apparently they can.. They have worked really hard on the cooling mechanisms of this car to make it track capable and not get overheated.. If you note.. Salomondrin did say that the 918 overheated after the multiple runs on the dragstrip but the rimac didnt.. Its because of the multiple cooling mechanisms in this car.. So I think this car does have the capability to run on the track.. Lets hope we can find that out soon
