As Poslovni Dnevnik/Zoran Vitas writes, it goes without saying that the Rimac Bugatti takeover is an enormous deal for Croatian business and entrepreneurship. Until just a few years ago, Mate Rimac himself wasn’t sure of the fate of his company, and look at him now.
“I’m honoured to be able to lead a new company that joins the forces of the two brands and begin what will be a successful, revolutionary and exciting new chapter for all involved. I’m very curious to see the impact that Bugatti Rimac will have on the industry and I’m looking forward to developing innovative new hypercars and technologies. It’s difficult to find a better combination than Rimac and Bugatti. What each side brings in terms of technical expertise, knowledge and history of car development is a perfect recipe. The agility and innovation of Rimac Automobili is the perfect complement to Bugatti’s history in designing and manufacturing hypercars that set new standards. We’ve already started developing new models that we can’t wait to present to the public when the time is right,” said Mate Rimac about the creation of the new company.
It was an important part of Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic’s presentation to French President Emmanuel Macron during his visit to Zagreb last week and today, Rimac is a Croatian model for the rest of the world. As he should be. His personal philosophy is – if you can’t be the best at something, then don’t do it. Working with Porsche is multi-layered and demanding, as well as very ambitious, as well as dynamic.
The Rimac Bugatti takeover is something for the history books, and it is high time Croatia had something to add to those which lies outside of the bounds of sportsmanship and tourism.
