Rimac Nevera R Founder’s Edition Makes Its Debut at I.C.E. St. Moritz

The automotive world just witnessed something special. Rimac Automobili has delivered the first Nevera R ‘Founder’s Edition’ at The I.C.E. St. Moritz, one of Europe’s most exclusive automotive events where the world’s rarest supercars converge on a frozen lake 1,800 meters above sea level.

The hypercar on display showcased a head-turning bespoke configuration featuring Cote D’Azur glossy paint on the upper body paired with Titanium Silver glossy lower sections. The dramatic two-tone split emphasizes the Nevera R’s aggressive stance, while an ultra-thin central roof stripe—just two millimeters at its thinnest point—incorporates Rimac’s signature cravat motif and subtle circuit board graphics.

What Makes the Founder’s Edition So Exclusive

Only ten Nevera R Founder’s Edition examples will ever exist, and all were allocated within a week of their private announcement. This isn’t just about owning an ultra-rare hypercar, it’s about gaining unprecedented access to Rimac’s inner circle.

“The I.C.E. St. Moritz represents everything we love about automotive culture: encouraging the owners of the rarest and most significant cars in the world to get out and use them to not only enjoy them but share them with the world. Delivering the first Nevera R Founder’s Edition here feels right, as a car that offers our customers more access into our world than ever before,” said Mate Rimac, Founder and President of the Rimac Group, CEO Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology.

Founder’s Club members receive priority invitations to product previews, direct access to Bugatti Rimac headquarters, invitations to performance showcases and record-breaking runs, involvement in strategy discussions with the leadership team, and input into research and development for future groundbreaking vehicles. The journey begins with a personal configuration session at the Rimac Campus in Zagreb, working directly with Mate Rimac, Design Director Frank Heyl, and the design team using sophisticated V-RED visualization software.

Insane Performance Numbers That Rewrite the Rules

The Nevera R isn’t playing around. This beast pumps out 2,107 horsepower through four individual motors controlled by Rimac’s next-generation All-Wheel Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV) system. The performance figures are borderline absurd: a record-breaking 0-60 mph time of 1.66 seconds and a top speed of 268.2 mph. In 2025 alone, the Nevera R set 24 verified performance world records.

The hypercar reaches 186 mph in just 8.66 seconds, thanks to its next-generation 108kWh Rimac battery pack. Enhanced aerodynamics deliver 15% more downforce than the standard Nevera, while new Michelin Cup 2 tires reduce total understeer by 10% and increase lateral grip by 5%. The result? A lap time around the Nardo Handling Track that’s 3.8 seconds faster than before.

Recently awarded a Red Dot Award for Product Design, the Nevera R represents Rimac’s evolution from Hyper GT to Hyper Sportscar, all while maintaining the refinement and usability expected from a Rimac hypercar.

Bespoke Details That Set This Example Apart

The first delivered Nevera R Founder’s Edition demonstrates the extensive personalization options available. The interior features full leather dashboard parts in Indigo Blue with bespoke stitching, Indigo Blue primary upholstery on the seats, and Silver driver seat upholstery with heat stamp detailing. Central roof stripe stitching uses Silver and Dark Blue, while the dashboard console sports tinted black matte carbon. Primary switchgear anodization is finished in dark grey satin.

The ultimate bespoke touch? Mate Rimac’s signature and other involved team members’ signatures are permanently applied with silver marker on the door sill—a personal connection to the team that created this hypercar.

The Complete Founder’s Edition Experience

Following delivery at The I.C.E., each Founder’s Edition owner receives specialist driver training from Rimac’s professional testing team, who have covered tens of thousands of miles developing the Nevera and Nevera R. Mate Rimac personally oversees the delivery of all ten examples, ensuring each owner receives the full Founder’s Edition experience.

The I.C.E. St. Moritz event, taking place January 30-31, 2026, has established itself as one of Europe’s most prestigious automotive gatherings, where historic racing legends and contemporary hypercars converge on the frozen lake. The event’s unique setting provided an unparalleled backdrop for Rimac’s most exclusive creation to make its public debut, with Mate Rimac set to drive his personal Nevera on the frozen lake.

The Nevera R production run is limited to just 40 units worldwide, with the ten Founder’s Edition examples representing the ultimate expression of Rimac’s personalization philosophy and commitment to creating extraordinary experiences for its most visionary clients.
