Never a fan of electric cars, Jeremy Clarkson gushes praise on the Rimac Concept One in The Sunday Times on June 25, 2017.
A typically witty article from Jeremy Clarkson in The Sunday Times today, as he talks about the crash Richard Hammond endured while driving the Rimac Concept One, and there is no doubting where he lies the blame for the crash.
More interesting were his comments on the Croatian electric super car, which seemed to have taken Clarkson out of his petrol comfort zone.
“It had started out that morning as something called the Rimac Concept One. And, frankly, it was amazing.”
“The idea of buying an electrical vehicle, unless you’re a milkman, is just as daft as buying a petrol-powered food blender.
“The Rimac could change all that. I had only a brief time behind the wheel and simply could not believe how fast it accelerated. We are not talking here about a car that’s as fast as a Lamborghini Aventador. It’s massively faster than that. It’s faster than anything else I’ve driven, by a huge, huge margin.”
“I’ve never been a fan of electric cars. Comparing them to those with a normal engine has always been a bit like comparing microwaved food to stuff that’s been in the Aga for a few hours. But that Rimac changed my mind. It was — there’s no other word — brilliant.”
