Watch Richard Hammond's Workshop in the UK: bit.ly/Hammond-H1-YT
It has been over 6 years since Richard Hammond had a massive crash in the Rimac Concept One hypercar. He managed to escape with just a busted leg, but the car went up in flames soon after the crash so it could have been much more serious. Rimac have decided to give Richard a second chance, throwing him the keys to the brand new Rimac Nevera - the successor to the Concept One. Fingers and toes crossed for this test dive going smoothly...

This is why we have what we have as we saw a crashed one in the dealership, enquired about what happened to it, then purchased one. For clarity, its not a Rimac but the principle is the same.

I could say that that crash was a big publicity for Rimac, I mean Richard admitting that the door opened just fine after three flips is testimony of great engineering, car crashes are inevitable, safety level during those crashes is what matters most. Thanks for both Rimac and Richard for this video

    @djoudimahmoud1305@djoudimahmoud13055 ай бұрын

    • My exact thoughts, I always thought that crash had a positive impact on Rimac’s reputation. The fact that Hammond survived THAT crash in their car was a true testimony to the company’s engineering feats, where it would show not just on paper and in marketing material but also in a very real situation. And now here they are, mass producing an 1800 horsepower hypercar.

      @jerkopatrik@jerkopatrik3 ай бұрын

  • Hearing Hammond say "the door opened" has the same weight in that sentence as when Clarkson said "the chicken was still warm". They hold their own respective cars in the highest regards because of the way each of their vehicles gave them the ability to have a better outlook in their situations than what was originally given and i think thats just absolutely amazing in it of itself

    • It helped them bigtime, there is a video of the owner sitting down with Hammond going thru the chrash data and the owner said they learned a lot from the data from the crash because you normally don't get to crashtest your supercars like this.

  • with all the "crashed the other one" storyline and Hammond being Hammond (so nearly half of the video to be fair) put aside... I'm still so amazed how the three blokes are still the best at this presenting cars stuff. Would love to see all of them still doing these short bits but now on KZhead.

  • I used to watch Mate Rimac race on small private airport races and street races in his lime green electric E30 bmw, and watching this video how company survived and now partners with one of the biggest names in car industry puts a proud tear in my eye, proud moment to love cars and to be croatian 🇭🇷

  • You didn't ruin the company by crashing,you gave them the light to shine as they are,because the first thing everyone asks a car company when a Car crash happens is "Was the car build safe" And for sure it was build safe and thus gave them a spotlight to shine as a Name.

  • last time i saw rimac on an auto event, they had some black duct tape on the front end and it had a lot of tiny scratches on the side and that in itself made the car so much cooler to look at. Like, this car was driven unlike a lot of concepts and sport cars that looked insanely clean and detailed, the Rimac looked as if it was driven there and It was amazing XD
