RIMAC NEVERA FULL STORY! Exclusive Factory Tour with Mate Rimac

Welcome to the home of Rimac and the assembly line for the Nevera electric hypercar! Join me with company founder, Mate Rimac, for a full tour of the facility and production processes that go into making Nevera. Mate's enthusiasm and knowledge is infectious, what an opportunity!
Having visited the original facility a few years ago when the Concept_one was in production, things have stepped up a gear for Nevera with a new home in Zagreb, Croatia, ahead of opening the full new Rimac Campus that will be home to the over 1,500 employees to date. It's here where we can explore the entire process from the engineering offices, through to the final testing and cars reaching the end of the line.
Learning about the components, technology, and engineering that goes into both the Nevera, but also cars from Koenigsegg and Aston Martin like the Valkyrie, gives an insight into the work carried out by Rimac. Having recently formed the new organisation of Bugatti-Rimac, this location is also going to be the home for developing, prototyping and testing future models for both companies, including the hybrid powertrain in the next generation Bugatti.
It's an extended video, with so much to take in, and in particular thanks to Mate's knowledge and passion for everything in connection with the brand, and products. A special thanks to Mate, and the team at Rimac for this special opportunity, wrapping up a glorious time on the Supercar Owners Circle Croatia 2022 event.
Thanks for watching, Tim

Couldn't be more accurate.

And do so with a humble, yet confident, awareness of accomplishment... And in their cases - genius and innovation UNLIKE any other brands... Koenigsegg being in a class of it's own... Along with Rimac changing the industry. Both setting the bar far too high for the industry giants to achieve, hence why Bugatti put $500,000,000 in Matte's (personal) account.
