Bugatti and Rimac officially partner to develop next-gen hypercars
Newly formed Bugatti Rimac LLC will be headquarted in Croatia, but Bugatti will retain Molsheim factory
The long-mooted partnership between Bugatti and EV technology specialist Rimac Automobili is now official, with the two firms becoming a stand-alone entity headquartered in Croatia.
The new company, Bugatti Rimac LLC, is 45% owned by Porsche and 55% owned by the newly formed Rimac Group, in which Rimac founder Mate Rimac – who will be CEO – retains a 37% shareholding, with Porsche holding a 24% stake, Hyundai Motor Group 12% and other investors making up the remaining 27%. Porsche chairman Oliver Blume and deputy chairman Lutz Meschke will both serve as supervisory board members at the new joint venture.
Rimac’s powertrain, battery and components development arm will be separated out into a new, dedicated Rimac Technology division, which is part of the Rimac Group but remains independent and will continue to work with other manufacturers.
Bugatti and Rimac will remain separate brands, retaining their respective current French and Croatian production facilities. However, from 2023, the newly formed company will be based at the new Rimac Campus on the outskirts of Zagreb, which will employ 2500 people. From launch, the company employs some 430 people: around 300 in Zagreb and 130 in Molsheim.
The move has significant implications for future models from the two firms – particularly Bugatti, which will gain access to Rimac’s high-output electric drivetrain technology as a potential replacement for its long-standing W16 petrol engine in the coming years.

New 1888bhp Rimac Nevera takes on Goodwood hill
With dual focus on pace and refinement, former C_Two gets 1.85sec 0-62mph time and 340-mile range
Croatian electric hypercar manufacturer Rimac is taking its radical C_Two concept into production with a raft of improvements and a new name: Nevera.
The culmination of three years of development following the C_Two concept's unveiling in March 2018, the €2 million (£1.72m) Lotus Evija rival has been renamed in tribute to the strong and sudden storms that occur on the Croatian coastline.
After making its official debut earlier in 2021, the Nevera was given a public showing at this year's Festival of Speed. It took on the event's famed hillclimb as part of the supercar run.
Rimac claims its engineers have "refined their new flagship on every level", using mostly bespoke, in-house-developed components in pursuit of the "ambitious performance targets" it outlined in 2018.

ELECTRIC CARS: Rimac Automobili Nevera sets unofficial 1/4-mile world record
Our friend Matt Watson over at CarWow in the UK recently had an opportunity to put the lightning fast Rimac Nevera all-electric hypercar to the test against the new hybrid Ferrari SF90. Under normal circumstances the Ferrari really isn't anything to poke fun at thanks to its twin-turbo hybrid V8 setup that punches out close to 1000 horsepower (745kW) which is good for a 0-100 time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 340km/h.
The Rimac Nevera on the other hand has double the horsepower with 1914 horsepower (1427kW) on tap thanks to four electric motors (one on each corner). Performance, well, take a breath: 0-100km/h takes just 1.97 seconds while its top speed is limited to 412km/h. Incidentally, if you're wondering, 0-300km/h in a Rimac Nevera takes just 9.3 seconds compared to Koenisegg's petrol-powered halo car the One:1 (1 megawatt car) which set a record for 0-300km/h in just 11.922 seconds back in 2015.
The Rimac Nevera not only smashes to the triple ton faster than any other road car on the planet, it also set an unofficial world record quarter mile time for a production car at 8.6 seconds with Matt Watson behind the wheel. In the video below that was shot while testing the cars, Rimac's founder appeared surprised, saying that he expected it to break into the 8.6 second region on a prepared surface. Watson and crew had filmed at a gritty runway with no surface preparation.

1427kW Rimac Nevera breaks quarter-mile world record
The battery-powered Rimac Nevera has broken its own ‘unofficial’ quarter-mile acceleration record for production cars.
With Brooks Weiselblat from Dragtimes at the wheel, the Rimac Nevera achieved a quarter-mile time of 8.582 seconds, with an exit speed of 269.5km/h, at the Famoso Raceway in California. The car was fitted with standard Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres and the air temperature was 37 degrees celsius.
This narrowly beats the Nevera’s previous quarter-mile record of 8.62 seconds, which was achieved at an unprepared air strip in Rimac’s home country of Croatia earlier this year.
However, you can expect more from this battery powered Rimac, which has four electric motors producing a collective 1427kW, as the hypercar maker says that there is still “lots” of performance to be unlocked through future over-the-air software updates.
“This was our first test on a VHT (glued) surface, so we did not know what to expect. At first we were hitting less than expected quarter-mile times (8.7 and 8.8 seconds) than we did on a normal, non-prepped surface in Europe,” said test and development driver Miroslav Zrnčević. “The track temperature was 65°C and we had to do some adjustments. Our traction control learns the surface on each run and adjusts the torques on the wheels. After some adjustments and different tire warm-up strategies we managed to get better results.

Rimac Nevera/Tesla Model S Plaid Drag Race Shows What An Extra 900 Horsepower Is Worth - Jalopnik
The Rimac Nevera has 1,914 horsepower; the Tesla Model S Plaid has 1,020 HP. The Nevera weighs 4,739 pounds, and despite the fact the Model S has two more doors, it weighs 4,766 pounds. They’re both just about the quickest production cars in the world, but one is faster. Can you guess which?

Mate Rimac takes 1888bhp Nevera off-road at new Zagreb HQ
As construction gets underway at Rimac's new €200m HQ, the CEO takes the hypercar for a site tour
Construction is now underway at Rimac's new €200 million base in Croatia, which will transform it into a high-volume maker of drivetrains and batteries.
To mark the occasion, company boss Mate Rimac took a pre-production prototype of the 1888bhp Nevera hypercar for a lap of the building site, testing its drifting potential before the car was condemned for use in crash tests.
The new HQ is expected to open in 2023. Featuring two separate buildings for research-and-development and production, there’s space for more than 2500 employees and a long list of facilities that will make it a “unique, spectacular place”.
Designed by Croatian architecture firm 3LHD, the headquarters will include a test track, a battery-testing-and-production facility, a command centre, staff relaxation lounges, a restaurant, a gym, a games room, a showroom, a museum, a kindergarten and individual accommodation ‘pods’ to host visitors overnight.

Watch this €2m Rimac Nevera skid around a construction site before being destroyed
Yep, even cars like the Nevera need to be crash tested. So before that: MUCH SKID
Croatian hyper-EV merchant Rimac has ‘broken ground’ on a new site in Zagreb where it intends to build its new global HQ. Said global HQ will cost €200 million and be one of the largest combined R&D… wait, come back!
Let’s try that again. Croatian hyper-EV merchant Rimac intends to send yet another Nevera into the great beyond as part of its crash-testing regime, so boss Mate Rimac thought it prudent to not waste the opportunity to quite literally flog a soon-to-be-dead, very fast electric horse.

Rimac Nevera unleashes 1914hp of electric power in the snow - Arctic Circle mayhem
Rimac has announced it wrapped up winter testing of its Nevera and is getting ready to button up the final tests and start deliveries within a couple of months.
The winter testing took place in Sweden, in the Arctic Circle at the Pirelli Sottozero Center. Unfortunately not all went as planned - due to unusually warm weather, the testing had to be conducted at night, as during the day temperatures struggled to fall below zero. Not deterred by this, Rimac crew managed to test ESP, ABS and torque vectoring which is super important when you have 4 electric motors with nearly 2,000 hp trying to snap your neck or turn your intestines into mush, every time you dare to put your foot near the accelerator.
In addition to those very important tests, we can tell the crew had plenty of time to ensure the new Nevera is a perfect drift machine, it performs 360s as if it's a walk in the park, and it silently sneaks up on elk and reindeers like the apex predator it is. As if it knew these are the last days of freedom and it will spend its future on busy streets stuck in traffic carrying shouting humans from drive-thru to drive-thru. Enjoy your last days in the wild, Nevera.
