Mate Rimac on the ten-year plan for Bugatti

All car companies have announced their long-term plans, or will announce them, about what we can expect in the future when it comes to the current offer as well as new models. In an interview with Automobilwoche, Mate Rimac talked about the ten-year plan for Bugatti.

Bugatti Mistral

The demand for SUV cars is expanding. Many manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls Royce have joined Porsche, BMW, Mercedes and other car manufacturers that have had SUVs in their range for many years. Some have resisted it for a long time, like McLaren and Ferrari, but they too will soon introduce their SUVs. One of the few brands that still successfully resists this trend is Bugatti.

In the interview, Rimac said that Bugatti will not produce an SUV in the near future, but that they will not produce a fully electric Bugatti either. At least not in the next ten years. “A purely electric version is not included in our 10-year plan for Bugatti. There will also be no SUV,” said Mate Rimac. This does not mean that Bugatti is completely rejecting electrification, as it aims to produce a car with an electric range of 31 miles (50 km).

Bugatti recently unveiled its new model, the Bugatti Mistral, the last to be powered by the W16 petrol engine. It is a limited edition based on the Chiron. It costs 5 million euros, and all 99 cars have already been sold.

Rimac Nevera reached a charging power of 333 kW

Rimac Automobili, which recently became the majority owner of Bugatti, is one of the leaders in the world of cars and automotive technology. Their latest electric hypercar, Rimac Nevera, set a record in charging power.

Nevera is fully manufactured in Croatia. It has a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120 kWh. Thanks to four individually powered wheels, the Nevera has 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 a top speed of 258 mph (413 km / h), and has a range of 342 miles (550 km).

This is not about acceleration or engine performance, but about charging power. The world was impressed by the charging power of the Tesla V3 Supercharger, Porsche Taycan and Hyundai Ioniq 5 with charging power between 250 and 260 kW, and Lucid with 300 kW. Then came Rimac. He connected Nevera to the IONITY charger and achieved amazing results.

Rimac Nevera set a record by reaching a charging power of 333 kW, which was impressive. Rimac also stated that this is not the maximum power, because the charging power can be increased up to an incredible 500kW.
