Mate Rimac deciding that an electric Bugatti would be the wrong move is unexpectedly wonderful to hear. He truly understands the pedigree and place that Bugatti has in the car world
Ettore Bugatti was of Italian origin but was naturalized French, lived then died in France. His son Jean who quickly succeeded him at the head of the family business and who designed the "Royale" then the "Atlantic" had full French citizenship.
Mate is such a gem of CEO. When asked about P1's back reference, he said it first and closed the argument. When compared to Pagani's finesse, he said that man is his hero and he's proud to be compared to him! No doubt this man is so successful, he's humble af.
Seeing a car CEO *THAT* excited about a car is, for lack of a better word, fun. You know that guy put his heart and soul into that car, and it certainly shows. Just... amazing.
To have Mate Rimac as the CEO of Bugatti was a stroke of genius. The man has genuine passion and engineering knowledge. He knows every little detail on this car and the reasoning behind it. Great video
I really appreciate the “digital detox” that he emphasizes. It truly adds to the driving experience retaining analog features. That gauge cluster itself is going to be amazing. I hope I can see one in person in my lifetime

Mate is incredible, the design of bugatti were focusing on the bugattis like mistral, centodieci and chiron, but this man changed everything when he came, mostly people liked the chiron than the other models, so a new replica of chiron and interior was changed, and new clock design for the speedometer and it was magnificent, and more importantly the V16 engine (16 pistons) made it the chiron change, that’s how this beauty tourbillon was made, mate does really know what is the feelings of bugatti lovers and in the bugatti automotive world, this man is just on a another level!

"This car will be around for longer than we are, so in 50yrs, in 100yrs, this has to be interesting and beautiful. And screens won't " - Mate Rimac *Mic drop 🎤 *
Mate Rimac is a rare combination of humility and knowledge mixed as a petrolhead, explaining complex things very simple way....this guy will be a legend....credit to you Matt Watson for bringing this type of content to the public, you are one of the best in this buiseness....cheers🍻
This car looks amazing! I love the lines of the body...elegant but yet it looks powerful too. Usually, those two are hard to incorporate together into an automobile. That interior is drop dead gorgeous! The steering wheel and dashboard symmetry has been masterfully designed. That analog dashboard is perfect (a nod to Pagani) for the interior's minimalism design. This car is a mechanical marvel but also a work of art.👍🏽
Man, I was pretty skeptical back then when Bugatti was sold to Rimac i thought Bugatti was going full electric but then they dropped the V16 and now seeing the full package i'm stoked! That Rimac dude is a real Chad i love him! He made an even better Bugatti for petrolheads (i know, no Petrolhead is going to have this much money, so it is just a wet dream for us) N/A V16, switchable electric support or hybrid system, few screens because not attractive in 50 years XD Nice love this dude! Someone should give him a hug from me... I shouldn't have never been worried! Bugatti is in good Hands!
Its not really sold to Rimac but rather they merged. VW did not know what to do with Bugatti, this way they kept it in in VW Group but also in a way added Rimac to VW Group as independent hyper car section.
it combined the powerful V16 with the powerful Rimac battery, this car I thought was insane in terms of speed and electric torque, it was the strength of combustion cars, this car was a work of art
I can listen to this CEO all day all along about his knowledge of cars and expertise, there aren't any CEOs like Mate who will ever have a vision like he has for Bugatti.
Oh My Goodness! Mate Rimac is a genuine, 100% genius. I'm thinking that if you were wealthy enough to own a Veyron, you would be unable to resist subsequent Bugatti models, and there is no way in hell that a Veyron owner could resist this Tourbillon. The lines of the body are even more beautiful. The interior with that watch mechanism instrument display are sublime. This is hands down the most beautiful car I have ever seen. I feel lucky to live a world that has Mate Rimac who creates automobile works of art that just happen to be as functional as they are stunningly good looking. Thank you Mate. You have made me happy to be alive.
Brilliant move hiring him as the CEO, and you can already see the improvement. Gotta love his honesty too when mentioning other brands. I'm so happy about all the analog stuff and the naturally aspirated engine. Let's go!
It is respectable how Mate Rimac doesn't overshadow Bugatti. He has his own Hypersport car brand that competes with Bugatti, but he focuses equally on both Bugatti and Rimac. Beautiful car, well done Bugatti!
Thank goodness Bugatti were smart enough to let Matte run the show... He truly gets how to design and make cars.. Even the smallest details he makes the right choice... And he's humble enough to admit mistakes which end ears him to all us car enthusiasts... Keep em coming Matte...
So proud of Mate Rimac. You can tell he’s very passionate about what he does and has such a deep understanding of both the engineering and the business. He and his team really know how to make engineering art. Doing Croatia, Bugatti, and all automotive enthusiasts true justice. Thank you Mate and Carwow
An incredible piece of machinery and art. I can’t say enough about Mate Rimac. He’s an absolutely brilliant young man who’s a car guy at heart. Such a bright future ahead.
The fact that he decided to go again from zero for this car instead of taking the chassis of the Chiron or the Nevera is truly incredible. Hats off to Mate Rimac
No disrespect, but not really. You get 800+hp from Ferrari v12's and 1000hp from Aston Martin Valkerie V12, and both are around 2L displacement less-and ofc 4 cylinders less. If anything, I guess they probably de-tuned that v16 for more reliability
Detuned ICE and detuned the E motors as well (battery limited). It's a win-win. Surely some owners would unlock its full potential and remove the limiters.
I feel like, Mate Rimac is the perfect Person to keep both Companies alive in their own way. Rimac as the crazy Stuff Company, and Bugatti as the Company, which does great Carftsmanship. Absolutely enjoing this car. Thanks Mate!❤❤❤
Mate is one of the coolest CEO and car enthusiast i've ever seen. Bro is so glad and happy explaining each and everything to Mat. Bugatti has a great future ahead!!
Mate is actually one of the coolest guys ever! Every company should dream of such CEO - lovely, humble, smart AF and the biggest fan of his own product. Love that guy. This world needs more Mates.
@@bekeneel I think the fact that it's unique is why they're not putting a turbo charger in there. I'm not an engineering expert so I might be wrong here, but from what I've seen, usually cars (besides F1) with naturally aspirated engine can rev higher than cars with forced induction, at least for cars that are on similar level, like 911 GT3 RS vs 911 GT2 RS. The fact that we have a Bugatti with an engine that massive and can rev higher than a 911 GT3 RS is what makes it special.
@@kyro1313 guess you can think of the EV motors as a quicker replacement for the turbos, instant on tap power boost vs spooling up.. so why have turbos? anyhow that's how I see it..
this is incredible, this guy comes from an EV background and he still had the intellectual wherewithal to recognize the beauty and power of ICE! Absolute gigasigmachad
Maybe one of the rare human auto ceos that doesn’t speak like a PR robot. Love this guy. Bugatti as always the absolute pinnacle of beauty and engineering.
Meanwhile Porsche: Goes electric > Still keeps the turbo without going n/a (easier to cope with regulations) You're right, petrolheads and car enthusiasts are not in charge of motorsport companies anymore. They're just rather all in for numbers and marketing
@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKoreaPorsche is a high volume production brand. Mate even said that the volume and mileage will be so low on these cars that it wouldn't even matter.

I can't lie, that car is drop dead gorgeous, and one of the few times, I've watched a hypercar reveal and thought, If I had the money, this car would be worth every penny and I'd need to have one in my garage. Also Mate is a real one, who genuinely gets it.
@@hansihinterweltler1198 I made my previous comment before I watched the video & now that I have seen it, I get it but it's still too OTT for a Bugatti imo.
Wow, this is the most impressive CEO I've ever seen. Dude loves cars and talks cars. He has vision. He even understands that screens and digitization does not equal luxury. I would LOVE to have a new car that didn't come with a screen and touchscreen. I'll never be rich enough to own a Bugatti, but man this car is a beautiful thing.
What are your qualifications to make you somebody educated and knowledgeable enough to have some actual validity in your statement? "this car will be talked about in 50 - 100 years!" How old are you?

This guy is such an enthusiast, it’s great to see people with this passion in charge of this type of art. What a nice guy, can’t wait to see this thing drive.
Two things are clear to me, Bugatti doesn’t design cars, it designs art in motion and the other is that right now this is the best car channel on UA-cam

Never, he can only exercise his vision in small niche luxury car brands like this and bring us incredible products like this car and the Nevera. Mass marketing would be the end of him and his passion imo.
@@Max-lz5ymthat's a completely fair point tbh
@@Max-lz5ymYou seem to forget that Piëch was perfectionist as well and he is responsible for what VW achieved.
glad he will turn all the range EV soon
"What's the capacity in that?" "I don't know. 🤷♂" Love Mate
Mate is very humble and charismatic. Bugatti is in good hands.
And he’s also fraud
Same also to Panoz.
yeh he also EV guy

"This car will be around for longer than we are, so in 50yrs, in 100yrs, this has to be interesting and beautiful. And screens won't " - Mate Rimac
*Mic drop 🎤 *
Mate Rimac is a rare combination of humility and knowledge mixed as a petrolhead, explaining complex things very simple way....this guy will be a legend....credit to you Matt Watson for bringing this type of content to the public, you are one of the best in this buiseness....cheers🍻
This car looks amazing! I love the lines of the body...elegant but yet it looks powerful too. Usually, those two are hard to incorporate together into an automobile. That interior is drop dead gorgeous! The steering wheel and dashboard symmetry has been masterfully designed. That analog dashboard is perfect (a nod to Pagani) for the interior's minimalism design. This car is a mechanical marvel but also a work of art.👍🏽
Mate Rimac is the Tony Stark of the people 😂
What about space karen? 🤡🚀
@@larryc1616Elon doesn't have the charisma
YOU BEAT ME TO IT!!!
Musk is Edison, Rimac is Iron Man himself.
@@Nice_Person7379Nah dude, dont do Edison like that. Edison was a cool dude fr.
@@jjosa52i mean, both were crude businessmen who took credit from others. At least they accomplished alot so I cant throw too much shade at them.
Man, I was pretty skeptical back then when Bugatti was sold to Rimac i thought Bugatti was going full electric but then they dropped the V16 and now seeing the full package i'm stoked!
That Rimac dude is a real Chad i love him!
He made an even better Bugatti for petrolheads (i know, no Petrolhead is going to have this much money, so it is just a wet dream for us) N/A V16, switchable electric support or hybrid system, few screens because not attractive in 50 years XD
Nice love this dude! Someone should give him a hug from me...
I shouldn't have never been worried!
Bugatti is in good Hands!
Its not really sold to Rimac but rather they merged. VW did not know what to do with Bugatti, this way they kept it in in VW Group but also in a way added Rimac to VW Group as independent hyper car section.
it combined the powerful V16 with the powerful Rimac battery, this car I thought was insane in terms of speed and electric torque, it was the strength of combustion cars, this car was a work of art
New favourite company CEO. what a ledgend.
Him and koenigsegg are definitely the top 2. Which is where is up to you.
yeh he gonna bring out more EV
I can listen to this CEO all day all along about his knowledge of cars and expertise, there aren't any CEOs like Mate who will ever have a vision like he has for Bugatti.
I love how he is bringing analog back into the car. Having this old school idea in a futuristic style. Beautiful car
Oh My Goodness! Mate Rimac is a genuine, 100% genius. I'm thinking that if you were wealthy enough to own a Veyron, you would be unable to resist subsequent Bugatti models, and there is no way in hell that a Veyron owner could resist this Tourbillon. The lines of the body are even more beautiful. The interior with that watch mechanism instrument display are sublime. This is hands down the most beautiful car I have ever seen. I feel lucky to live a world that has Mate Rimac who creates automobile works of art that just happen to be as functional as they are stunningly good looking. Thank you Mate. You have made me happy to be alive.
Mate Rimac is such a petrolhead. He just loves cars and you can feel it in the way how he speaks about the design process. Awesome
Not a petrolhead, he's a car guy. He knows when to sling an EV like the nevera and when to sling something like this.
i thought he is EV expert
@@lemcakes32422 He is also that.
@@thedumbconspirator4956 Actually, he told me that himself when I visited their factory many years ago
he is the first to make Bugatti plug in hybrid
Brilliant move hiring him as the CEO, and you can already see the improvement. Gotta love his honesty too when mentioning other brands. I'm so happy about all the analog stuff and the naturally aspirated engine. Let's go!
It is respectable how Mate Rimac doesn't overshadow Bugatti.
He has his own Hypersport car brand that competes with Bugatti, but he focuses equally on both Bugatti and Rimac.
Beautiful car, well done Bugatti!
Thank goodness Bugatti were smart enough to let Matte run the show... He truly gets how to design and make cars.. Even the smallest details he makes the right choice... And he's humble enough to admit mistakes which end ears him to all us car enthusiasts... Keep em coming Matte...
Mate*
So proud of Mate Rimac. You can tell he’s very passionate about what he does and has such a deep understanding of both the engineering and the business. He and his team really know how to make engineering art.
Doing Croatia, Bugatti, and all automotive enthusiasts true justice.
Thank you Mate and Carwow
An incredible piece of machinery and art. I can’t say enough about Mate Rimac. He’s an absolutely brilliant young man who’s a car guy at heart. Such a bright future ahead.
The fact that he decided to go again from zero for this car instead of taking the chassis of the Chiron or the Nevera is truly incredible. Hats off to Mate Rimac
Naturaly aspirated 1000hp v16??? Holy shit this man is actually insane
No disrespect, but not really. You get 800+hp from Ferrari v12's and 1000hp from Aston Martin Valkerie V12, and both are around 2L displacement less-and ofc 4 cylinders less. If anything, I guess they probably de-tuned that v16 for more reliability
Gordon Murray V12 has 170 bhp per litre. The bugatti 120.
Feels like a batman spec
The reason is reliability it can definitely push more than just that
Detuned ICE and detuned the E motors as well (battery limited). It's a win-win. Surely some owners would unlock its full potential and remove the limiters.
The amount of research and engineering that goes into the Bugatti's is insane. This Croatian man is just icing on the cake.
I feel like, Mate Rimac is the perfect Person to keep both Companies alive in their own way. Rimac as the crazy Stuff Company, and Bugatti as the Company, which does great Carftsmanship. Absolutely enjoing this car. Thanks Mate!❤❤❤
Mate is one of the coolest CEO and car enthusiast i've ever seen. Bro is so glad and happy explaining each and everything to Mat. Bugatti has a great future ahead!!
Mate is actually one of the coolest guys ever! Every company should dream of such CEO - lovely, humble, smart AF and the biggest fan of his own product. Love that guy. This world needs more Mates.
The Aussies agree with you mate
he will be the main guy to push EV
@@lemcakes32422 And that will be awesome! More EVs is better.
Bugatti delivered! NA, Analog Speedometer, nice looking car. dayum
But why not put turbos on that unique V16? Cuz the EV needs space & weight too instead..
@@bekeneel I think the fact that it's unique is why they're not putting a turbo charger in there. I'm not an engineering expert so I might be wrong here, but from what I've seen, usually cars (besides F1) with naturally aspirated engine can rev higher than cars with forced induction, at least for cars that are on similar level, like 911 GT3 RS vs 911 GT2 RS. The fact that we have a Bugatti with an engine that massive and can rev higher than a 911 GT3 RS is what makes it special.
@@bekeneelYou can't fit the turbos and ev motors and a battery at the same time
@@bekeneel To offer naturally aspirated experience if you want it? Can't exactly disable turbos, while you can do that with EV motors.
@@kyro1313 guess you can think of the EV motors as a quicker replacement for the turbos, instant on tap power boost vs spooling up.. so why have turbos? anyhow that's how I see it..
CANT WAIT FOR ONBOARD VID
this is incredible, this guy comes from an EV background and he still had the intellectual wherewithal to recognize the beauty and power of ICE! Absolute gigasigmachad
I clicked for the Bugatti, stayed for Mate and Matt's wonderful chemistry
Maybe one of the rare human auto ceos that doesn’t speak like a PR robot. Love this guy. Bugatti as always the absolute pinnacle of beauty and engineering.
Svaka cast Mate, kapa dole. pozz iz SRB! ♥
Mate is a genius
He is a living legend
Him, Christian Von Koenigsegg and Horacio Pagani are the living legends right now 😆
@@sumrai574 and Gordon Murray, all geniuses
@@sumrai574I agree. They all have "F You" money and can throw their reputations around to keep cars inspiring, emotional, and mechanically unique.
Long live Rimac! Long live Bugatti!
@@yTcensored24 Thank you.
Getting actual petrolheads as CEOs that understand what every billionaire's garage and every kid's wallpaper requires is epic.
Meanwhile Porsche: Goes electric > Still keeps the turbo without going n/a (easier to cope with regulations)
You're right, petrolheads and car enthusiasts are not in charge of motorsport companies anymore. They're just rather all in for numbers and marketing
@@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKoreaPorsche is a high volume production brand. Mate even said that the volume and mileage will be so low on these cars that it wouldn't even matter.
@@actuallywicked4228 still not justifiable like capacitive touch button galore and fake metal everywhere in the interior
he is EV guy what u on about
@@lemcakes32422 he IS NOT EV guy!!! Educate yourself on a guy first....
Are we really seeing a new Bugatti get launched on Carwow
Launched it in every major channel
The new 911 was launched on Carwow too .Mat is the new Jeremy Clarkson
@@SteliosE92 some say Jeremy Clunkson got less fat and reincarnated as a Matt
@@SteliosE92 Good he got rid of that female partner he had a some years back.
Yeah and this channel got by far the most views out of all the channels that released the same video
The more i see of mate rimac the more i like. True car enthusiast. He’s so well informed and technical its a pleasure to hear him speak
I think this is the only CEO that can explain everything from building to selling cars. He's very intelligent man. What a gifted human being🥰
"How much space do yiu have in the front bonnet?" Mate: "I don't know." Lol, legend.
favorite bit
best bit plug in hybrid with 3 motors
He is 36 years old.
Just think about that.... What a talented young man!
What a legend.
Don't make start thinking what I'm doing with my life please😂
yeh all he does is make electric vehicles

11:56 that sold me for this car, absolutely gorgeous
Absolutely fantastic. Mate has the design mentality of Horacio Pagani, and the engineering mentality of Koenigsegg. Can't wait to see this car in action
I absolutely love this comment. Exactly what I was thinking!
@@thehabeeeeeb great EV battery pack on the car
Rimac seems like such a good and genuine figure in the car scene. Wow. I've never been more impressed by someone being so passionate about the customer and creation of a car worthy for them.
I can't lie, that car is drop dead gorgeous, and one of the few times, I've watched a hypercar reveal and thought, If I had the money, this car would be worth every penny and I'd need to have one in my garage.
Also Mate is a real one, who genuinely gets it.
Totally the opposite here. The design is underwhelming to me overall & over done at the rear😕
@@omerta2002 yes the rear looks ugly
@@hansihinterweltler1198 I made my previous comment before I watched the video & now that I have seen it, I get it but it's still too OTT for a Bugatti imo.
great to see its plug in hybrid 3 electric motors
@@omerta2002rear looks so aggressive it’s looks great .
Wow, this is the most impressive CEO I've ever seen. Dude loves cars and talks cars. He has vision. He even understands that screens and digitization does not equal luxury. I would LOVE to have a new car that didn't come with a screen and touchscreen. I'll never be rich enough to own a Bugatti, but man this car is a beautiful thing.
One of car wows finest videos. Mate rimac well done ! No screen ! Actual dials !! V16 !! …. This car is an instant classic !
I absolutely agree with Mate Rimac, this car will be talked about in 50 - 100 years! Pure engineering. 🔥
What are your qualifications to make you somebody educated and knowledgeable enough to have some actual validity in your statement?
"this car will be talked about in 50 - 100 years!" How old are you?
"Pure engineering." Uhm, allow me rephrase that. How. Old. Are. You?
"Pure engineering" What does a clown like you know about that?? Who says "pure engineering" anyway??
Fake news 😅 it's not innovating enough for a next gen Bugatti..
@@LeoMuri6 You should design the next Bugatti then
This guy is such an enthusiast, it’s great to see people with this passion in charge of this type of art. What a nice guy, can’t wait to see this thing drive.
Probably the most beautiful car I have ever seen, and the fastest WOW Totally Breathtaking ❤
Two things are clear to me, Bugatti doesn’t design cars, it designs art in motion and the other is that right now this is the best car channel on UA-cam
To say I'm impressed with Bugatti is a COMPLETE UNDERSTATEMENT
These two guy's standing on their knees on tile floor for like an hours is amazing just to talk about the interior of a car
What a fantastic sound of the machine!
Mate is the only person in the world capable of leading Bugatti's development in this new era of motor engineering. what an amazing down to earth guy the car looks amazing
I’m genuinely smiling in bed wtf is this car
😂😂😂
Have a shower then
😂 😁 SAME
😅😂
Nothing better than 30mins of straight on “Nerd Car Boys” chemistry talk!!
Man thank God for these guys😮❤
2:57 I love his response on not going for electric and just push the the limits on the engine for the car and going for a V16, love it.
- Mate Rimac how you doing?
+ Hey Matt, alrigh…
- So, let’s have a look at it, reveal it! 😂
He knows this car inside out! I'm genuinely impressed watching this
This is what you get when you have a true car guy, a proper enthusiast running the company, he has created a work of art. What an inspiration.
holy shit that steering wheel + the instrument "panel" are fucking AWESOME
uhm yeah? that's the point? that's literally the purpose of the car, to look and feel "awesome" so people will buy it Lol
Citroen did this steering wheel in 2005, awesome still?
@@HollowR6S It is approximately one million times more beautiful than the Citroen. Still amazing for me.
@@HollowR6Syeah and?
Nobody cares +nobody said they did it first+this one is piece of art. Please don't be like this people lol@@HollowR6S
The way he explained every part of this masterpiece shows how much he loves his job truly car guy Bugatti is so lucky to have him
Man the ceo looks so excited to tell everything about this piece of art.
