We LOVE a good race. Electric power ftw🤟🏻⚡️

4:54 is when the actual race starts

The Rimac pulls away from the Plaid the same way the Plaid pulls away from other quick cars. That’s fast! ⚡️💨💨

Imagine doing this kind of race on your home town streets at 3.00 in the morning, no one whould ever know....😀

Most satisfying part is watching the spoiler on the Rimac change due to the high speeds😍😍

First time I notice how short a quarter mile is

I agree with sooooo many comments, that the CEO of Rimac allowing such a race is just awesome. 15 times the price yet the tesla is just so damn good at launching. Power is power though so the result was never in doubt but even so. That's a car nut right there, and if I had a spare 3 million lying around Id buy one just on principle....

The fact that I could hear the tires sticking to the surface over an engine is just insane.

Can we all agree that ANY car that makes a Tesla Plaid look that slow is ABSOLUTELY FKN INSANE!!!!

0-200 km/h in 4.95 sec....let that sink in.....that RIMAC is INSANE!

Standing 1/4 of 8.5 is absolutely nuts. If I were ever a multi millionaire, right after a 2001 nsx I would get the Rimac. I wanna feel those Gs, that raw power that is the Rimac.

Since Plaid is a family car,...we can say that it holds up very well in a race with a sports car. Greetings from Croatia.

Our most requested race ever is here! How do you think the Tesla held up against the quickest production car in the world?

in the words of Sir Jeremy Clarkson:”That Rimac, just fucks off”. insane thing

I’m impressed how it just keeps on pulling. That’s incredible

Best car channel on UKposts hands down, keep it up Brookes, you’re the hero we need with the type of races you bring us

The fact that Rimac agreed to do this is HUGE! and much deserved respect to them, I look forward to embracing the brand.

This has got to be the most Silent Drag race in History.......😂

The sound of those cars going by the finish line at 6:39 is insane!!! They sound like a couple of jets doing a fly by!! Wow!

If the Rimac makes a Plaid look slow imagine how it makes any other car look

The Model S Plaid is already on another level, but that Rimac, holy hell is it from another world! Both of these cars are awesome!

Imagine sleeping at the light and being like “It is fine I can easily catch that 9 second sedan”.

So crazy all the times I watch that plaid I kept thinking myself how fast that thing is and then this comes along, and just blows my mind even more incredible

you know you're fast when you make a plaid look slow

For a family shopping cart, the Tesla did well to keep up with the worlds quickest car.

"That Rimac just f*cks off" - Jeremy Clarkson

Now give the $2.4 mil tag to TESLA they might give you a road rocket with a suit to survive it, good racing btw..

The plaid is still very impressive with the price tag gap. Hats off to Rimac, beautiful machine.

You know the times are changing when the most anticipated drag race in years is between two electrics.

Thank you Brooks! Thank you Rimac! Thank you to the awesome owner of the Plaid too!

Loving the sound of wind and tyre roar.

The Rimac has it all, and that's why it costs so much. We'll have to see what the Roadster has in it's backpack.

That fact that both of these cars can whip a chiron is just crazy

The Nevera is pulling away harder at the end of the track. That means it's only getting started. Crazy! If the future of drag racing is electric then we can have a track in every neighborhood! No more noise restrictions to ruin the party 😉

Absolutely incredible performance both cars. Think I’ll shelve the idea of getting my F Type remapped 😜

its crazy that it takes 2.4mil to beat the Plaid...

For the people saying "Oh 2 million dollars only gets you half a second" ... no, it gets you extra 60 mph up top, it gets you far better handling and a far quicker and more fun to drive car on track or twisty roads, it gets you the stiffest body of any car ever produced with the largest carbon fiber monococque ever produced (including LMP1 race cars), etc. People need to stop acting like the only thing determining the cost of a car is 0-60 or 1/4 time. That's literally the only aspect in which the Model S can even get close to the Rimac in terms of performance, build quality, materials used, safety, design, etc. Even the 1/4 time is close only because half the race is done on low speeds when both cars are grip limited. The Rimac will smoke all 4 tires up to over 100 km/h if they actually just unleash 100% of torque from standstill. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Model S will do the same. Whether you have 1000hp or 2000hp is irrelevant before at least 70-80 mph, unless you're running drag slicks. Try doing a 100-200 mph acceleration comparison, or a 1/2 mile race, or a rolling start race from 60 mph, and then you'll see the difference between them is far bigger than half a second. That's why there's a difference between sedans and hypercars, no matter how fast a sedan is. This is kinda like saying "Oh buying a La Ferrari for 1 million only gets you half a second over a Dodge Charger Hellcat for 100k". No, it gets you so much more than a 1/4 time says. It's kinda sad that so many of you that follow car channels (and are apparently interested in cars) have such a limited understanding and appreciation of cars.

I'm really amazed how well the plaid did - as a luxury saloon vs a $2.4 million hypercar. Both cars is just insane

It will be interesting to see what happens when the Telsa Roadster Gen II comes out. I definitely want to see that vs a Rimac Nevera. That will be EPIC!!

FINALLY!!!!! It about bloody time! Great race! Better finish!

Ya know, considering the fact that the Tesla costs 5% of what the Nevera costs, the Tesla is a pretty good deal.

To make a plaid look like it’s standing still is absolutely jaw dropping holy cow

Hold up.. Brooks actually pulled together a drag race between a Rimac Nevera and a Tesla Plaid.. The Rimac hasn’t even started shipping yet or barely just started shipping.. You know how big of a deal that is? This channel deserves EVERY subscriber.

Anyone that can afford the Nevera could care less about how much of a deal the plaid is.

Well done Brooks. The only guy who was able to get these Titans in the ring (drag strip) and battle it out. I’ve been checking daily on drag times for this most anticipated drag race of the year

Just phenomenal. That kind of speed just doesn't make sense. Mate Rimac you are a wizard

Great video !!

I would love to see the Nevera vs the Lucid Air Sapphire. What a race that would be.

Can't believe that THE quickest car comes from Croatia...my country :3

No broken axles, transmissions, clutches, no oil spills, no holes in blocks, minimal thought and skill needed to run 8s. I'm excited for this future!!!

The closest I ever will come to the Nevera is in my driving simulator on Forza FH5 that is one of my favorite cars. I have never seen anything that made the Plaid look slow and we all know that thing is freaking sick. Another great video rare that we see such a race . That Nevera is beautiful definitely in my Top 5 dreams cars

9.3 for a 4-door, that’s impressive. The Rimac is faster, but I don’t think this was surprising

The paint on the Rimac is just so beautiful, amazing when the light hits it

This Nevera is unreal, insane and unbelievable ... I've seen what a plaid can do to almost all supercars ... And now I just can't get my head around this seeing the Nevera doing it to the plaid

FRIGGING awesome race!!! but... reaction time' what about 'anticipation time, you can see the lights go down well in advance buddy.. you need to work on your timing haha

Well done Rimac!! Croatian engineering at it's best!! 🇭🇷🇭🇷💪🏻💪🏻🔝🔝

These are the top two quickest production cars and the fact that you can race them without waking up any neighbors.

"lets take this coffee cup out to save weight" Meanwhile, has two gopros sticking up on the top of the car lol

Well done guys I enjoyed watching this. I love electric cars and I am happy to live in this time in the future. Even if I had enough money to buy one. :) PS In the second race I am sure that Rimac had a better start. and it is not clear to me how Tesla started better by 0.01. Not an accurate computer.

That Nevara is a time machine it's that fast!

The reaction times of both drivers is off the charts!

My car goes 0-60 in 5.6 and has a speed limiter at 133. The Nevera is going more than the top speed of my car before I even hit 60 😂

The music that starts @4:12 is absolutely insane! 😍😍

Two Super Beast!!! So cool seeing Emelia on camera too! 🤘😜🤘

8.6s every time is just incredible 😍

What a time to be alive. Fastest accelerating production car made in croatia vs. second fastest named after croatian scientist.

Great race and great cars. If that's the future of drag racing though I'm not sure how it will go. Half the excitement is the ground shaking, rubber/smoke and noise. Wonder how long it will take an electric to compete with a top fuel car.

Both cars sound amazing

By far the quietist sub 9s drag race I’ve ever heard lol (minus wind noise).

14:20 Whoever at Rimac created the bings and bongs the car makes DESERVES a raise!

Wait till Rimac starts doing daily cars that cost less than 50k

It’ll be interesting to see this race with the Roadster. That seems like a more apples to apples comparison. Regardless, electric kicks ass!

Dude this was awesome, so glad you got to cover this! Great job 🤘🏻

Mate, amazing content. Thank you for having Brooks showcase your car in America. Your Nevara is the absolute most perfect car ever built out of composite. The details are gorgeous, the color design is so welcoming. The performance is spectacular. I love how the wing is helping create the necessary downforce to keep slip under control... your thought processes have been truly realized in this spectacular automobile. I can't wait to see your influence along with the outstanding design philosophies of Bugatti... the future is truly exciting. Any auto company would be remiss not to have RIMAC optimize their EV aspirations. You are 110% focused and I admire that!

wenn man die Starts 2 und 3 Bild für Bild durch klickt und den Startzeitpunkt mit der Ampel vergleicht haben doch beide Frühstarts hingelegt, oder darf man schon bei gelb losfahren?

If this race was only audio, you would think it was two fighter jets racing, MY GOSH!!

The Rimac is on another level but in all honesty the Model S Plaid is incredible for what it achieves being a 4 door sedan running on sports tires.

Would love to see the Nevera on a half mile track! Brooks hit 171 mph in his stock 720s , this thing does that in the 1/4 mile!!

Knowing how fast the Nevara is, for 1/20th of the price the Plaid actually impressed me

The future of Drag Racing!!! No EAR PLUGS needed 😄🤣😂😅

Damn !!! That NEVERA is like a fighter jet.

One of the most interesting things ever to have happened in Bakersfield, CA. Also probably the quietest race ever between cars running 8s and 9s! Thanks for sharing Brooks. Both cars are awesome!

*Will you go out and purchase an Evija please. I have so many questions about it :)*

I'm shocked nobody realizes how much faster the Nevera would be compared to a DIVO or a Pur Sport

Congrats to everyone, actually you guys did the record on putting the two quickest and fastest production cars side by side for the very first time!!

"That Rimac just f#cks off" - Jeremy Clarkson

The Nevera is a wonder of engenering and a beautiful car. I had the luck to be in a Nevera in Croatia and it is the most beautiful car i've ever seen. The car looks crazy on a UKposts Video but when you stand in front of the car your jaw drobs...

The race we all want!

There is absolutely ZERO chance that when Brooks started this channel he thought there was any chance that he would be racing the two fastest production cars IN THE WORLD and they would both be EVs. Insane video and congrats for being recognized by Rimac as a true auto enthusiast! Next up, the world’s fastest flying cars!!!

That rimac is a demon over the quarter mile. Absolutely insane! However the numbers that sedan is achieving and it’s price makes me very excited for the roadster.

Can't wait to get one of these used in a few years lol.

It’s like my electric racetrac I had as a toy back in the 80’s are real cars now! Crazy!

respect to the tesla for hanging in. Any other car would have been in a different time zone that the Rimac.

A lot of respect for both Rimac and Tesla...😍🙌

Dragtimes can we do an ultimate challenge between the rimac nevera vs 2000hp electric Lotis Evija??? Omg the views would be enormous trust me!!! Which 2 million dollar car should you buy.. and then put which car ever wins against the Lucid air Saffire!!!

love the Plaid animation on the Tesla dash

So proud on Rimac Nevera. It is literaly what its called, Croatian word for mighty storm. Great drag race, and very good pronaunciation of the name. Cheers :)

First time I'm hearing RimaC pronounced as C not K. Correctly. Well done guys!

Great side by side but different markets, 1 is a 2seater sports car, the other a 5+2 family hatchback :-)

That fast and furious reference tho hahaha 9:49
