  • Rimac Nevera R makes east coast debut in New York City

    Rimac Nevera R makes east coast debut in New York City

    Following the widely celebrated premiere of the Nevera R at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, the latest addition to the Nevera family, the Nevera R, began its tour of the northeastern United States with a showcase in New York City’s famed Times Square.

    The electric hyper sportscar will then make its way to Long Island for The Bridge classic car show on Saturday, September 14, followed by stops at local showrooms in Rimac Greenwich, CT, in partnership with Miller Motorcars, and Rimac New York, Manhattan, NY, in collaboration with Manhattan motorcars.

    The Nevera represents a landmark in automotive performance: a record-shattering car capable of setting new standards at the Nürburgring Nordschleife while also providing the comfort to drive thousands of miles across continents. When we set out to re-engineer this hyper-GT, we turned to our customers for feedback.

    Mate Rimac, founder and CEO of Rimac Group, says: “We were challenged to further expand on the Nevera’s driving capabilities with increased cornering performance and the latest in-car technology. So, the Nevera R was born. We unveiled this passion project during Monterey Car Week in August, and now we are excited to bring the Nevera R to one of the largest hypercar markets in the United States during its East Coast debut.”

    Building on its predecessor, the Nevera R is designed for cornering and an even quicker straight-line performance, reaching 300 km/h (186 mph) in 8.66s. In line with Rimac’s radical, rebellious and relentless brand philosophy, the Nevera R features 2,107 hp, a next generation 108kWh Rimac battery pack, and cutting-edge technology. Further enhancing the car’s capabilities, the Nevera R was designed with an aggressive aero package that includes a fixed rear wing and large diffuser, increasing downforce by 15 percent and aerodynamic efficiency by 10 percent.

    The Michelin Cup 2 tires fitted to the vehicle reduce understeer by 10 percent, while lateral grip increases by 5 percent. These developments combined with the next-generation Rimac All-Wheel Torque Vectoring, which has been adjusted to take advantage of the high-performance tires, and the EVO2 carbon ceramic brakes allow the Nevera R to shave 3.8 seconds from the Nevera’s Nardo Handling Track time.

    Designed with clean surfaces and perfect proportions, the Nevera R features a lower, sleeker appearance that embodies the sportscar’s aggressive nature. In addition to cutting-edge technology, the interior can be customized to enhance the driver-focused design with a variety of color and trim options, including painted carbon to match the vehicle’s exterior.

  • Rimac completes campus phase one with production already under way

    Rimac completes campus phase one with production already under way

    Phase one of the Rimac campus – new home of the Rimac Group in Croatia – has now completed construction, representing around 70% of the total Campus site. Encompassing the 75,000 m2 production facility, out of a total construction space of 100,000 mfor the whole site, phase one provides the Rimac Group with critical production capacity, in addition to the existing 25,000 m2 production facility located a short distance away.   

    Total investment into the Campus to-date has been 120M EUR, with the final figure expected to surpass 300M EUR when phase two is completed – which houses the majority of office space and additional amenities. It is one of the largest industrial construction projects ever undertaken in this part in Europe.

    The Campus is the home for Bugatti Rimac’s hypercar development and for Rimac Technology’s R&D and production. It will house hypercar assembly, including of the Nevera and Nevera R, as well as facilities for prototype assembly, composite manufacturing, CNC machining, upholstery, and a state-of-the-art paint shop. In addition, the campus will accommodate three new high-volume battery projects for premium European car makers.

    Construction of the Campus first commenced in 2021 to deliver a vision laid out by Croatian architecture firm 3LHD. Utilizing industrial building technology with prefabricated concrete and steel elements, the construction has progressed rapidly, allowing flexibility and adaptability for future changes.  

    The production building incorporates “houses within a house” design, featuring six-meter-high ceilings and green atriums that provide natural light and fresh air.

    The main design element, a continuous aluminum facade, reflects light while dematerializing the massive volume of the production area, integrating the facility seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Inside, clear communication pathways serve as streets for easy navigation, complemented by shared spaces such as restrooms and kitchens.

    At the building’s heart is a central atrium with a large kitchen and communal dining area, serving as a gathering space for employees.

    The move-in to the Campus started this summer, and currently, 400 employees are working there, out of over 1,500 Rimac employees in Croatia. More will gradually transition to the new Campus over time. Once the project is fully completed, the Campus will have the capacity to accommodate 2.500 employees.
