Slightly off-topic:

When talking about this in meat-space, the correct pronunciation of "Rimac" is "Reemats", and not "Rimmack", like Jeremy Clarkson always pronounces it on TV, which always annoys me to no end.

That is closer, but it's also not exactly correct. Now that I think about it, I don't think the English language has any sound where the letter "c" is used as it's pronounced in Croatian language. For example, the word "points" has the "ts" sound which is phonetically closest to the letter "c", but the the letter "c" is much sharper and shorter.

iirc Mate mentioned in an interview that they don't get offended about the "English" pronunciation.

As any other automaker on the international market... being it Porsche, Volkswagen, Mazda, etc..

Unless they add pronunciation to every article, I don't think that will change. It looks like an English word and will be mentioned in many English contexts. Why/how would anyone choose the alternative?

In that specific context though Clarkson is supposed to be a journalist, the slightest bit of research would have gone a long way.

We will worry about pronunciation when the ship actual product, ok?

You can't buy Rimac cars already? Well I know most can't afford a Rimac, but that's a different story...

Specifically what annoys me about that is Clarkson is supposed to be a journalist, the slightest bit of research would have gone a long way.
