Rimac Automobili


Rimac Automobili is a Croatian car manufacturer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_manufacturer) that develops and produces high-performance electric cars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car), drivetrain and battery systems, headquartered in Sveta Nedelja (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveta_Nedelja,_Zagreb_County), Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia). Rimac Automobili's first model, the Concept One, is known as the world's fastest production electric vehicle. While Rimac sells high-performance vehicles under their own brand, the company develops and produces drivetrain systems and full vehicles for other companies. The Applus+ IDIADA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applus%2B_IDIADA) Volar-E is an example of the services Rimac Automobili offers and executes for other companies.

The groundwork for the company began in 2007 as a garage-housed hobby of founder, Mate Rimac, Bosnian Croat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croats_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina) from Livno (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livno), Bosnia and Herzegovina (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina).He converted his BMW E30 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_E30) to incorporate an electric powertrain and subsequently gained attention from press and investors.] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimac_Automobili#cite_note-lux-5)Much of the early financing came from selling patents and from family money. The company itself formed in 2009 and rented facilities in Sveta Nedelja (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveta_Nedelja,_Zagreb_County), near Zagreb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zagreb), Croatia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia).The e-M3 was Rimac Automobili’s first test mule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_mule). The founder and CEO Mate Rimac started to convert this car when he was only 19 years old: “I owned an old BMW E30 (MY 1984) which I used for drift and circuit races. At one of these races, the gas engine blew up. Then I decided to try building an EV. After one year or so the car was able to drive but I was not satisfied with the result. It was heavy, not very powerful and the range was very limited. I started to gather a team of experts to develop our own components since I believed that the electric propulsion can give much more compared to what was available on the market. At that time, I already had a very clear vision of my ultimate goal. Today, hard work is making my dream come true.”
