The Rimac Nevera R, already a standout in the ultra-exclusive hypercar segment with a production run of just 40 units, now has an even rarer sibling: the Nevera R Founder’s Edition. Limited to a mere ten examples, this isn’t just a car; it’s a gateway to the inner circle of one of the most innovative automotive companies in the world.
Beyond Ownership: A Seat at the Table
The Founder’s Edition is unique in that it extends beyond the vehicle itself. Owners aren’t simply buying a car; they’re acquiring privileged access to Rimac’s future. This includes direct involvement in internal strategy and research & development discussions, previews of unreleased products, and firsthand attendance at record-breaking performance runs.
This is a level of exclusivity rarely seen in the automotive industry. It’s about more than prestige; it’s about influence.
Personalized Design: From Zagreb to Your Garage
The process begins at Rimac’s headquarters in Zagreb, where each of the ten buyers will collaborate with Founder Mate Rimac and Design Director Frank Heyl on a hyper-personalized configuration. Using real-time visualization tools, customers will have unprecedented control over every detail, from exterior colors and materials to interior finishes.
The exterior features a striking two-tone livery with circuit board-inspired graphics, and each vehicle will bear a custom Founder’s Edition emblem featuring Mate Rimac’s initials. Inside, the asymmetrical seat design pays homage to Rimac’s own Nevera, with hand-stitched upholstery and extensive customization options. Dates significant to Rimac’s history will be embroidered into the doors, and the owner’s initials will adorn the headrests.
Uncompromising Performance: The Foundation Remains
While the Founder’s Edition is about exclusivity, it doesn’t compromise on performance. The car retains the standard Nevera R’s staggering specifications: four electric motors producing a combined 2,107 horsepower.
The Nevera R has already proven its capabilities, with a verified 0-62 mph acceleration time of just 1.72 seconds and a top speed of 268.2 mph. Although BYD’s YangWang U9 has claimed a higher speed (308.33 mph), it has not yet been officially recognized.
Lifetime Privileges: The Long-Term Investment
The most valuable aspect of the Founder’s Edition is the lifetime access it provides. Owners will receive priority invitations to product reveals, unrestricted access to Bugatti Rimac HQ, invitations to performance events, and a seat at the table during strategic decision-making.
“For the duration of their ownership, the ten Founder’s Club members will have priority invitations to product previews…involvement in strategy discussions…and input into the research and development that will create the groundbreaking cars of the future.”
This isn’t a one-time purchase; it’s a continuous relationship with a company at the forefront of electric hypercar technology. Rimac will also provide personalized driving instruction from professional testers to help owners safely harness the vehicle’s full potential. Each completed car will be personally handed over by Mate Rimac himself.
Pricing and Availability: Beyond Reach for Most
Rimac has not publicly disclosed the price of the Founder’s Edition, but given that the standard Nevera R starts at €2.3 million ($2.7 million), it’s safe to assume the exclusive version will command a significant premium.
Mate Rimac emphasized the gratitude behind this offering, stating, “Without them, everything we have built wouldn’t have been possible. I wanted to find a way to thank the visionary individuals who helped shape this path.”
The Rimac Nevera R Founder’s Edition represents the ultimate expression of exclusivity, merging automotive engineering with a direct line to the future of high-performance electric vehicles.
