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?

When people thought there was no EV powerful enough to beat the Holy Trinity

I don’t think anyone ever complained about electric oomph, but i’m pretty sure an actual racetrack with corners, for which they were made, would see the rimac beeing annihilated.

Rimac vs one:1 ?

Seems that Stuttgard got electrified by Croatia

When they published the video abouth their electric E30 a few years ago I wouldn’t even dream that they would really build a hypercar.

Is that salomandarin’s porsche 918

Yes it is

One important thing to note from that video was that the 918 overheated after multiple runs while the rimac didnt .. And as Mate said it could go on doing this all day along.. So I think with its 7 different coolers this car might actually end up not getting overheated after a few track laps.. Hoping to see it in action soon..
