Rimac has never been a brand known for subtlety. The Croatian electric hypercar maker has built its reputation on defying physics—and expectations. But with its newest creation, the Nevera R Founder’s Edition, Rimac has taken things into a whole new realm of exclusivity. Only ten of these cars will ever exist, and every one of them has already been claimed.
So what makes this Nevera special? Well, it’s less about what’s under the hood and more about what comes with the keys.
Owning a Founder’s Edition is a little like being invited behind the velvet rope of the automotive world. Rimac is giving these select owners something far beyond a custom-built hypercar—they’re being offered a place at the table.
Each buyer will have an open door to the company itself, taking part in behind-the-scenes sessions at Rimac’s Zagreb headquarters. Think strategy discussions, R&D insights, and even the occasional record-breaking event. It’s a “collaborative ownership experience,” as Rimac describes it, though “becoming part of the family” might be a better way to put it.
And, of course, each of the ten cars will be personalized during visits to Croatia, where owners will work directly with company founder Mate Rimac and design boss Frank Heyl. The cars wear a unique two-tone paint scheme, subtle “MR” insignia nodding to Mate himself, and interior details inspired by Rimac’s personal vehicle.
Mechanically, nothing’s changed—and honestly, that’s a relief. The Nevera R remains one of the most outrageous machines on earth. Four electric motors, one at each wheel, combine for a staggering 2,100-plus horsepower. The result? A 0–100 km/h sprint that takes just 1.72 seconds and a top speed of 431 km/h. It’s less a car and more a controlled lightning bolt on wheels.
Rimac hasn’t put a price tag on this limited run, and they don’t really need to. A “standard” Nevera R already starts around €2.3 million before taxes, so it’s safe to assume the Founder’s Edition asks for a little more than cash—it demands commitment.
For the ten people lucky enough to own one, this car isn’t just about raw numbers or exclusivity; it’s about being part of an unfolding story. Rimac is one of the few companies truly pushing the boundaries of what electric performance can mean, and the Founder’s Edition gives its owners a literal stake in that journey.
For the rest of us? We’ll just have to admire from afar—and maybe dream a little about what it feels like to press the accelerator on the future.
So here’s the question: If you had the means, would you buy your way into Rimac’s inner circle, or is watching these record-smashing machines from the sidelines thrilling enough?
