Ferrari, Porsche, and Bugatti queue up at Rimac

 In a very short time,  Rimac grew to 1,500 employees.

Mate Rimac is a jack of all (electric) trades: not only is he building his own electric supercar, the Rimac Nevera, and currently a huge battery production facility, but he is also building a hybrid drive for Bugatti, battery systems for Porsche and solid-state batteries for Ferrari. With this, Europe's Elon Musk is setting an incredible pace in the electric mobility segment. Customers are queuing up.

  In a very short time,  Rimac grew to 1,500 employees. This courage and speed are appreciated by the customers, above all Porsche, Aston Martin, Koenigsegg, Jaguar and Seat. 

Ferrari wants to present the electric successor to the LaFerrari as early as 2025 with Rimac's help - based on the world's first high-performance solid-state battery ready for series production. Cell chemistry, power electronics, motors, inverters and the cooling concept are to be supplied by Rimac. Porsche is also following suit: Rimac is to develop the E-components for the Porsche 911 of the 994 series together with the German battery specialist Customcells. That will be available from 2025 as both a combustion engine and a hybrid. At the end of the decade, a fully electric 911 with the abbreviation 998 is also expected - also with e-technology from Rimac.

Rimac is also planning groundbreaking developments in its own vehicle range: as the majority owner of Bugatti Rimac, Rimac wants to develop the successor to the Chiron as a hybrid in 2026. To this end, it has secured the support of Cosworth. They are to develop and build an 800 to 1,000 hp combustion engine in just three years - an eight-cylinder, because Rimac's own battery system already produces between 1,000 and 1,200 hp. This would make a system output of up to 2,000 hp possible!  

One is curious to see what else the Croatian man in the fast lane will come up with.
