BMW agreed on a partnership with Rimac Technology

Mate Rimac posted on his Facebook profile that Rimac Technology and BMW Group have reached an agreement on a long-term partnership. This represents a milestone and the biggest and most ambitious project the company has had so far.

Rimac Technology manufactures electric drive systems and battery systems for global car manufacturers, and will now develop and manufacture high-voltage battery systems for BMW Group vehicles, which will be used in future models.

“For me, it all started with a BMW from 1984, which I started to convert to electric drive in 2008. At that time, it was my dream to work for BMW. This collaboration marks a key moment in the growth of Rimac Technology and is a clear sign of the transition from a high performance product provider for small series models (like Aston Martin Valkyrie, Pininfarina Battista, Rimac Nevere etc.) to a high capacity manufacturer for projects like this one with the BMW Group,” said Rimac.

Rimac Gropu is constantly growing. They recently opened Rimac Campus, showing that they are ready to deliver large projects for leading brands in the automotive industry. The project with the BMW Group is just one in a series, and the company says that talks about other similar projects are ongoing.

“Today, we are not only working with BMW, but together we are creating the future of their electric models – in Croatia, where battery systems for future BMW models have been developed and produced for the last two years, and now it has become public. A large part of the Campus is specifically intended for the production of batteries for BMW, which, together with other agreed deals, fully exploits it (we already lack space and are planning a new factory). It is not only the biggest deal in our history, but perhaps the biggest contract in the history of the country (at least I couldn’t find a bigger one),” Rimac wrote.

Rimac Nevera in the colors of the Dutch flag

The Rimac Nevera is one of the most powerful cars in the world, but also the fastest production electric car in the world with a top speed of 412 km/h (256 mph). It costs 2 million euros, and a few days ago one copy of this car was delivered to the owner in the Netherlands.

Rimac Automobili offers a wide range of body colors and the owner, Michel Perridon, decided to paint his car in a combination of Volcano Red, Polar White and Navy Blue, paying homage to the Dutch flag. The keys of the car were handed to the owner by Mate Rimac.

“I am excited to see more Nevera hitting the roads worldwide, and this particular example will surely turn heads. We’re delighted to see it in the hands of passionate enthusiasts like Michel Perridon. His ownership isn’t just about a car; it’s about being part of something groundbreaking, pushing boundaries together.”

The same color combination continues in the interior of the car. Sports seats are upholstered in a combination of Dark Blue leather and Red Alcantara with white stitching. Dark Blue leather covers the dashboard and one part of the door panel, while the steering wheel is wrapped in Red Alcantara.

Perridon was delighted with the car and the fact that the first Nevera in the Netherlands was his. “As a true Dutchman, I am immensely proud to have received the first delivery of the 2000 horsepower electric hypercar to the Netherlands. Being personally handed over this magnificent example of the Nevera by Mate Rimac himself, finished in the colors of the Dutch national flag as per my vision, is truly an honor. It’s a privilege to make history together with the Rimac team.”

Recently, Mate Rimac also received a personalized copy of his Nevera. He opted for an elegant and attractive design in burgundy color, with a black interior and red stitching. The car is decorated with several details such as the Croatian flag on the side mirrors, an embroidered silhouette of “Solinjanka” (women from the old town of Solin) in front of the driver on a dashboard covered in black Alcantara, personalized seats covered in red Alcantara with embroidered “K8” (Kate – dedicated to his wife Katarina) on the passenger and “M8” (Mait – dedicated to himself) on the driver’s seat, and a host of other emblems imported into the backrests.

Mate Rimac received a personalized Nevera

In June 2021, Rimac Automobili introduced one of the most powerful and fastest electric cars, Nevera. Three years later, the founder and CEO of the company, Mate Rimac, announced that he had received a specially designed example of Nevera.

Mate Rimc announced this news on his Facebook profile and chose an elegant and attractive car design in burgundy color, with a black interior stitched with red stitching. The car is decorated with several details such as the Croatian flag on the side mirrors, an embroidered silhouette of “Solinjanka” (women from the old town of Solin) in front of the driver on a dashboard covered in black Alcantara, personalized seats covered in red Alcantara with embroidered “K8” (Kate – dedicated to his wife Katarina) on passenger and “M8” (Mait – dedicated to himself) on the driver’s seat, and a host of other emblems imported into the backrests.

The Rimac Nevera is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 1.97 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 219 mph (352 km/h). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

In 2022, the Nevera reached a speed of 412 km/h (256 mph), making it the fastest production electric car in the world. “An incredible speed of 412 km/h is not something you do every day. When we decided to confirm this speed, we made sure we had everything we needed, a location that would give us enough space to reach speed and stop safely, the right tires that are in this case the Michelin Cup 2R, an expert to check their condition, a special Nevera aero profile that reduces the downforce at the front of the car balancing it for stability and a man on a mission to join the 400+ club , our test and development driver Miro,” it was announced from the company.
