Serving a Purpose
Rimac’s entry into the hypercar scene was sudden but effective; it quickly carved out a space in the segment by offering extreme performance using EV technology. Such is the success Rimac has found; in modern times, the brand has expanded well beyond itself, partnering with BMW and even outside the automotive industry, dabbling in AI technology.
Most of Rimac’s focus has also been securing its ownership of Bugatti and developing the Tourbillion, but in the background, the Nevera has been quietly serving as the only hypercar product from Rimac itself, and it seems its days are numbered.
Rimac Nevera Production To End Soon
Mate Rimac’s always candid about his thoughts, and usually takes to his Instagram page to make huge announcements or statements. His most recent video details how the Nevera, which began sales and deliveries in 2022, is down to its last 10 models. Specifically, the Croatian hypercar maker is building the last 10 Nevera Rs, which are more track-focused and a juiced-up version of the already extreme Nevera. The last 10 cars are set to be finished and delivered to customers by the end of the year.
Rimac noted in the video that, in total, there will be 71 Neveras ever produced: 51 normal ones and 20 R models. Originally, Rimac planned to produce at least 150 Neveras before ending production. Mate did say that despite ending production earlier and halfway to the original plan, he is satisfied with the Neveras run. “I think it is still a pretty good achievement. It’s the most sold electric hypercar in the world. And without that, there wouldn’t be the Tourbillon today; there wouldn’t be this factory. So, it did its job. I think it’s a quite cool car…that will have its place in history. And thank you to all the owners who are part of this incredible journey.”

What Next?
This year, Rimac completed its takeover of Bugatti and has since been working hard to replace the Chiron with the Tourbillion and produce the V16 engine. Apart from that, Rimac has furthered its partnership with BMW to help build more EVs, and is now also involved in powering AI data storage centers. Another branch of the brand is Verne, its own Robotaxi brand akin to Tesla’s; it was launched in 2024 and began operations just this year.
In terms of a Nevera replacement, no specific car has been confirmed, with Rimac saying they will be stepping back in the meantime, making another EV Hypercar due to low demand.
