The brand Rimac is well-known for its cutting-edge, high-performance electric drivetrains. In addition to producing the elegant Pininfarina Battista's powerplant and drawing investment from Porsche and Hyundai, the manufacturer gained prominence for the Nevera and a notable collaboration with Bugatti. However, Mate Rimac, the founder, established his own company under the same name back in 2009. To commemorate the company's 15th anniversary, Rimac Automobili has designed a unique special-edition Nevera with chic copper paintwork.
Sharing his thoughts on the occasion, Mate Rimac said, 'Honestly, when I started to tinker with my first car in a garage, I couldn’t have even dreamt of being where we are 15 years later. There were so many times in the early years that we really thought the company wouldn’t make it, so reaching the 15-year milestone felt like it was worthy of a celebration. The 15th Anniversary Edition Nevera is the car that marks our progress, revelling just how far we’ve come. From garage to global; from worrying about keeping the lights on to a 2bn EUR valuation; from converted BMW 3 Series to the world’s fastest accelerating production car and from hypercar maker to Tier 1 EV tech supplier and energy storage pioneers. All achieved in a country where all of this would have sounded like science fiction at the time of founding the company.'

Rimac Nevera 15th Anniversary Edition: Design Cues
To commemorate the company's founding year (2009), only nine units of the hypercar will be built, with the first decked out in a unique copper shade. The stunning custom paintwork is contrasted with exposed carbon fibre, and the visual appeal is further enhanced by exclusive graphics and 15th-anniversary badging on the front fender. The alloy wheels, with six copper spokes and three black spokes, also have a dual-tone appearance. Apart from this, the special edition sports a decal that extends from the hood to the rear wing.

The copper finish continues inside the cabin, with the striking shade gracing the anodised switchgear and door trim. The seats come with contrasting copper leather, copper stitching, and the number 15 embossed in the headrests regardless of whether they are decked out in black or white. Furthermore, the armrest is uniquely etched with the years 2009 and 2024, distinguishing the car as one of nine that was "designed, engineered, and manufactured in Croatia."
