The Rimac Concept One is a full electric vehicle and supercar made by a company called Rimac Automobili from Croatia. Our local reporter Sašo Malbaša visited the factory for a tour and talked to the person behind the powerful and silent sports car, Mate Rimac – owner of Rimac Automobili.

Let’s start by going back to the time Mate Rimac was graduating from high school. For his final exam he got the task to invent something unique. Other kids in the same year were »inventing« amplifiers, but Mate went a step further and made a glove that could retrofit a computer keyboard. After winning the national award on the inventor’s championship, Mate was sent to Tokyo where he won another prize. He made a side mirror which helped solving the dead angle problem. It was patented and he partially sold the rights to a company in the car industry.

Four years ago, Mate started drifting, and bought a 323i E30 BMW which is known in the world of drifting as a fantastic car to learn your skills. The car had a normal engine at that point, but not for long. Mate took the car for a ride and burned the engine.
