Croatia may not sell many cars, but when it does…
As TCN reported last week in Formula 1 Legend Nico Rosberg Takes Delivery of First Rimac Nevera (VIDEO), Rosberg became the first official buyer on the much-vaunted Croatian hypercar, the Rimac Nevera.
Rosberg is clearly delighted with his purchase, and yesterday he posted a new video on his YouTube channel, detailing the first journey of his new purchase:
What a special day: First drive in my new 2,000HP Hypercar! The Rimac Nevera is a beast…fully electric, ridiculous acceleration, awesome design…racing the car feels insane! Subscribe to my channel: https://bit.ly/NicoRosbergYT
Stay tuned for a lot more content when the car arrives in Monaco. Let me know in the comments what you’d like to see?
In the driving scene was none other than Mate Rimac himself, in what must have been an incredibly satisfying moment for the Croatian entrepreneur, and the two were clearly enjoying each other’s company as Rimac helped Rosberg become more acquainted with his new toy.
It has been quite a summer for Rimac and Nevera so far. In addition to this very high-profile first customer, Rimac and his Nevera were also the first to cross the new Peljesac Bridge on July 26, as Rimac drove Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic over the Chinese-constructed bridge, which finally connected the two parts of Croatia into one contiguous unit.
I don’t know who was more texcited about yesterday’s drive, Nico Rosberg, or the man who started it all more than a decade ago, Mate Rimac.
The Rimac founder posted his delight at the latest milestone in the incredible Rimac story on Facebook.
We look forward to updating you on Rosberg’s experiences with the Rimac Nevera on the streets of Monaco.
You can follow the latest in the Rimac story in the dedicated TCN section.
