Mate Rimac’s Vision:
“Honestly, when I started to tinker with my first car in a garage, I couldn’t have even dreamt of being where we are 15 years later. There were so many times in the early years that we really thought the company wouldn’t make it, so reaching the 15-year milestone felt like it was worthy of a celebration. The 15th Anniversary Edition Nevera is the car that marks our progress, reveling just how far we’ve come. From garage to global; from worrying about keeping the lights on to a 2bn EUR valuation; from converted BMW 3 Series to the world’s fastest accelerating production car and from hypercar maker to Tier 1 EV tech supplier and energy storage pioneers. All achieved in a country where all of this would have sounded like science fiction at the time of founding the company.”
Rimac’s Evolution:
Since its inception, Rimac has grown from a one-man dream to a global entity with over 2,200 employees across four countries. The Rimac Group now includes Bugatti Rimac, Rimac Technology, and Rimac Energy. The completion of Phase 1 of the Rimac Campus, a 100,000 m² HQ and production facility, signifies a new era of innovation and growth. The Rimac Nevera remains a testament to Mate Rimac’s vision, combining cutting-edge technology with unparalleled performance, paving the way for future advancements in electric hypercars.
