Rimac Delivers First Nevera R Founder’s Edition on The I.C.E. of St. Moritz

At one of the most glamorous winter stages in the automotive world, Rimac Automobili has delivered the very first Nevera R Founder’s Edition, marking the public debut of its most exclusive creation to date. The handover took place this week at The I.C.E. St. Moritz, where historic racing icons and cutting-edge hypercars meet on the frozen surface of Lake St. Moritz.

Set 1,800 meters above sea level, the Founder’s Edition Nevera R was unveiled in a striking bespoke two-tone finish: Cote d’Azur glossy paint on the upper body contrasted by Titanium Silver glossy below. A dramatic color split accentuates the car’s aggressive stance, while an ultra-thin central roof stripe—just two millimeters at its narrowest point—features Rimac’s signature cravat motif and subtle circuit-board graphics, underscoring the brand’s fusion of heritage and advanced technology.

This appearance marks the first time the Nevera R Founder’s Edition has been shown publicly. The car was presented in a static display alongside Mate Rimac’s personal Nevera, which he is set to drive on the frozen lake during the event—an unmistakable statement about Rimac’s belief that even the rarest hypercars are meant to be used, not hidden.

“The I.C.E. St. Moritz represents everything we love about automotive culture,” said Rimac. “It encourages owners of the rarest and most significant cars in the world to use them, enjoy them, and share them with the world. Delivering the first Nevera R Founder’s Edition here feels right—it’s a car that offers our customers more access into our world than ever before.”

More Than a Hypercar: The Founder’s Edition Experience

Limited to just ten examples worldwide—all allocated within a week of their private unveiling—the Nevera R Founder’s Edition represents the pinnacle of Rimac’s bespoke personalization program. Each owner begins with an in-depth configuration session at the Rimac Campus in Zagreb, working directly with Mate Rimac, Design Director Frank Heyl, and the design team using advanced V-RED visualization software.

Ownership extends far beyond the vehicle itself. Founder’s Club members receive priority access to future product previews, invitations to performance showcases and record-breaking attempts, direct engagement with Rimac’s leadership team, and even input into research and development for future models.

The first delivered car exemplifies these possibilities. Inside, Indigo Blue leather dominates the dashboard and upholstery, contrasted by a Silver driver’s seat, bespoke stitching, heat-stamp detailing, and dark grey satin-finished switchgear. Personal touches include the signatures of Mate Rimac and key team members, permanently applied in silver marker on the door sills.

Nevera R: From Hyper GT to Hyper Sportscar

The Nevera R itself is a bold evolution of Rimac’s electric hypercar philosophy. Repositioned from Hyper GT to Hyper Sportscar, it delivers 2,107 hp via four individual electric motors managed by Rimac’s next-generation All-Wheel Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV) system. Recently honored with a Red Dot Award for Product Design, the Nevera R has already rewritten the record books—setting 24 verified world records in 2025 alone, including a 0–60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds and a top speed of 431.45 km/h (268.2 mph).

Enhanced aerodynamics generate 15% more downforce than the standard Nevera, while Michelin Cup 2 tires improve lateral grip and reduce understeer. Combined with a next-generation 108 kWh battery pack, the result is breathtaking performance: 300 km/h (186 mph) in just 8.66 seconds, without sacrificing everyday usability.

A Fitting Stage for an Exclusive Debut

Following the St. Moritz delivery, each Founder’s Edition owner will receive specialist driver training from Rimac’s professional test team—engineers who logged tens of thousands of development miles on the Nevera program. Mate Rimac personally oversees the delivery of all ten cars, ensuring every client experiences the full depth of the Founder’s Edition promise.

With The I.C.E. St. Moritz taking place on January 30–31, 2026, the frozen lake once again proves to be an unparalleled backdrop for automotive excellence. For Rimac, the debut of the Nevera R Founder’s Edition on ice is more than a delivery—it is a declaration of intent.

The Nevera R production is capped at just 40 units globally, with the ten Founder’s Edition cars standing as the ultimate expression of Rimac’s craftsmanship, performance ambition, and commitment to creating extraordinary experiences for its most visionary clients.
