Rimac Celebrates 15 years with a $2.5m special edition Nevera

Rimac Automobili has unveiled the exclusive Nevera 15th Anniversary Edition to commemorate 15 years of groundbreaking innovation. The limited-run model symbolizes Rimac's journey from humble beginnings to global recognition.

The company has come a long way from the days when Mate Rimac was experimenting with a 1984 BMW in his garage. Distractors had told him not to build a car company in Croatia as it was impractical.

Mate stated in the press release that there were times when he wondered if the company would survive. But within three years, the experiment had morphed into what we now know as the Nevera, surpassing the company's expectations and making large automakers pay attention.

Fast forward 15 years, and Rimac Automobili has taken a place at the top of hypercar manufacturing and caught the attention of enthusiasts and collectors across the globe. It's like a fairy tale success story.

The car features a special copper shade, matte paintwork, and exposed carbon fiber close to the wheels. These distinctive design elements, the dual-color alloy wheels, and 15th Anniversary badging, set this edition apart.

The Rimac Nevera 15th Anniversary Edition boasts the same groundbreaking performance that defines Nevera's reputation. Powered by a quad-motor system delivering an astonishing 1,914 horsepower, the Nevera can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.74 seconds, setting new benchmarks for electric hypercars.

Its advanced battery system offers a remarkable range and rapid charging capabilities, ensuring that the Nevera remains at the forefront of automotive innovation and performance. This edition not only celebrates Rimac's past but also highlights its commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle technology.

The interior showcases a copper anodized switchgear, custom copper-painted surfaces, and a cabin in bold black or pristine white with contrasting copper leather. Each car is marked with "one-of-nine" and "2009-2024" script on the armrest, celebrating Rimac's milestone.

Founder Mate Rimac reflected on the company's evolution from a garage project to a globally valued entity – "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". The 15th Anniversary Edition embodies this journey, marking a significant milestone in Rimac's history.

The company will only make nine of the anniversary edition. The car is priced at a little over $2.5 million, with all options included. It will make its first public appearance at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, taking on the famous hill climb.
