At the 2023 Monterey Car Week Rimac Bugatti signed a contract with Volkswagen Group America for the distribution of Bugatti and Rimac cars on the American market. This agreement increases the availability of Nevera and Bugatti cars, but also better support.

“We are thrilled to continue distributing Bugatti vehicles through our newly signed agreements. We are also excited to import and distribute Rimac models through this collaboration, providing even more variety to our customers,” said Pablo di Si, CEO of Volkswagen Group of America.

This will be a powerful alliance between a major German brand that has a built-up sales and service network in the United States and the manufacturer of the most powerful and fastest electric car in the world.

“For both the Bugatti and Rimac brands, the US is the strongest single market in the world so it is important that we maintain a sales and ownership experience befitting the outstanding cars we deliver to customers. Working with Volkswagen America will allow our US dealer network to grow with vast experience and resources available to them,” said Mate Rimac.
