Idol Chat with Mate Rimac - his life and personal cars part 1

This is Idol Chat with Mate Rimac - where we discuss his his life and see his personal cars. In Part 1 Mate (founder and CEO of Automobili Rimac - who make the 2000hp EV hypercar) sits down with Jonny Smith on some awful old chairs to openly talk about his career and his interesting car choices. Sometimes compared to Nikola tesla and Elon Musk, Mate only has a one car garage at home, so just for The Late Brake Show he arranged to bring his vehicles to an empty shopping mall which has recently started conversion into a new Rimac car and battery production facility. Despite the company being part owned by Porsche and Hyundai, Mate has a thing for BMW M cars. He doesn’t even drive an EV every day - it’s either an M5 or one of his 100kmh e-bikes.
