Today, we're an 850-people strong technology powerhouse focused on designing, engineering and producing electric hypercars and high-performance EV components for the global automotive industry.
We never stop looking for innovative ways to push boundaries and overcome challenges to constantly raise the bar in high-performance.
The original idea was to create the most powerful (electric) hypercar. However, the technology we needed didn't exist yet and the systems that were available simply weren't available to us an automotive startup back in 2009. It was clear we had to create everything ourselves. Ever since, we've been growing the talent and core competencies in-house.
Our hypercars are at the brink of technology. They are designed, engineered and manufactured in-house and demonstrate what is possible when innovation and passion are given free rein.
Our engineering team creates core EV systems in-house, from power-dense drivetrain systems to a highly advanced autonomous-driving and unique user experience enabled through our infotainment technologies.
The story of Rimac Automobili is a story of beating all odds in spite of enormous challenges, an impossibly ambitious vision and many near-death experiences. It is also a story with great potential to grow beyond what we believe is possible, and l have made it my life's mission to take it there.
Mate Rimac / Founder and CEO of Rimac Automobili
It all began with one man and his dream, in a garage. At the age of 21, our founder and CEO – Mate Rimac – set about reinventing the way cars were engineered after his combustion engined 1984 BMW E30 blew during a race. Rather than replace it, he chose a much more challenging route to build his own electric powertrain – a journey that would see him spark a revolution in the automotive industry.
After starting Rimac Automobili in 2011 with just a handful of people, Mate has grown the company from a specialist component manufacturer to series production hypercar and technology powerhouse, which employs over 850 dedicated employees. Still guided by Mate’s unwavering quest for performance perfection and relentless enthusiasm, we enter a new chapter in Rimac’s history with the launch of the all-new C_Two hypercar, which follows on from the Concept_One.
Mate’s journey from garage to global has seen him build a success story in less than a decade. He grew up loving engineering and testing the limits of what was possible. These characteristics remain at the core of the business today. Blazing a radical, new and exciting path for automotive, our founder and the team at Rimac continue to achieve today what many wouldn’t consider possible even in the future.
Our products remove any fear of the future and create excitement, appealing to forward thinkers while inspiring the next generation of game-changers.
From a garage project and a one-man-band show to global technology leader and a 850-strong established automotive series producer. Read all about the milestones on our journey over the past decade.
We’re 850-people strong, with headquarters in Sveta Nedelja, on the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia. We moved to this location in 2013 and outgrew it sooner than expected. In 2018, we opened two engineering offices in Split and Osijek, and a Joint Venture in China. Our latest facilities expansion was in Veliko Trgovišće, where we established the C_Two production line in 2020. Our dream location is in the works.
Our original headquarters location expanded since 2013 and now includes Rimac showroom, machining, composites production, paintshop, prototype assembly, engineering departments and support functions.
Established in 2019, this location is an extension of existing production facilities at the HQ. It includes components assembly, battery assembly and testing, upholstery, wiring and C_Two production line.
Our satellite R&D office is home to 25 people working on hardware and software solutions. There is a strong collaboration with local Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture.
Our satellite R&D office gathers a small team working on platform software and calibration, and diagnostic apps. We're proud of the strong collaboration with local Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology.
Rimac joined forces with Camel Group to establish an 85-person team in Xiangyang focusing on electric drivetrain technology engineering and production with annual capacity of 50.000 units.
We are working on a single location with all the facilities and amenities we need to work and live. Stay tuned.
