ST. MORITZ, Switzerland — Croatian electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili has delivered the first Nevera R Founder’s Edition, marking the public debut of the ultra-exclusive model at The I.C.E. St. Moritz, one of Europe’s most high-profile winter automotive events.

The car was unveiled on the frozen Lake St. Moritz, 1,800 metres above sea level, during the two-day gathering that brings together historic racing vehicles and contemporary hypercars.

Limited to just ten examples worldwide, the Nevera R Founder’s Edition represents the most bespoke version of Rimac’s latest hypercar. All ten vehicles were allocated within a week of their private announcement.

The car on display features a two-tone exterior finished in Côte d’Azur Glossy on the upper body and Titanium Silver Glossy on the lower section, separated by a contrasting colour split. A thin central roof stripe incorporates Rimac’s cravat motif and circuit-inspired detailing.

The debut marked the first public appearance of the Founder’s Edition, which was displayed alongside Mate Rimac’s personal Nevera. Rimac, founder and president of the Rimac Group and CEO of Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology, is also set to drive his vehicle on the frozen lake during the event.

“The I.C.E. St. Moritz reflects a culture where rare cars are driven and shared,” Rimac said. “Delivering the first Nevera R Founder’s Edition here feels appropriate.”

The Founder’s Edition ownership programme extends beyond the vehicle itself. Owners begin with a personal configuration process at the Rimac Campus in Zagreb, working directly with Rimac and the design team. Members receive priority access to future product previews and development initiatives.

The interior of the first Founder’s Edition includes Indigo Blue leather upholstery, bespoke stitching, matte carbon elements and personalised details, including signatures from Rimac and key team members.

The Nevera R delivers 2,107 horsepower through four electric motors controlled by Rimac’s next-generation All-Wheel Torque Vectoring system. Performance figures include 0–60 mph in 1.66 seconds and a top speed of 431.45 km/h (268.2 mph).

In 2025, the model set 24 verified performance world records and received a Red Dot Award for Product Design. Aerodynamic revisions increase downforce by 15%, while new tyres improve grip and reduce lap times.

The Nevera R is limited to 40 units globally, with deliveries overseen personally by Rimac. The St. Moritz event took place on 30–31 January.
