- The founder of the electric carmaker has taken delivery of chassis #013.
- Driving the Nevera are four electric motors, and just 150 units are bound for the production line.
- An asymmetric red and black interior makes Mate’s Nevera stand out from all others.
Mate Rimac has just taken delivery of his very own Nevera and fittingly, it’s unlike any other, adorned with a host of bespoke touches.
The exterior of Mate’s Nevera is the most eye-catching element. Most of the body is adorned in dark red carbon fiber that’s been intricately placed to ensure the weave continues uninterrupted across multiple panels. Contrasting the red carbon fiber are numerous parts finished in black carbon fiber, including parts of the hood, elements near the front wheels, and trim along the sides.

A set of black wheels was selected alongside bright red brake calipers. Mate’s personal car also includes Croatian flags hand-painted onto the side mirrors and a lightning motif under the rear spoiler, serving as an homage to the Mediterranean storms off the Croatian coast that gave the Nevera its name.
The interior of the all-electric hypercar is also bespoke. The firm’s founder has opted for an asymmetric design with most of the driver’s side adorned in black while the passenger side is bathed in red. Nappa leather adorns many cabin surfaces but there’s also plenty of Alcantara found throughout. Metal is used for the door handles, steering wheel buttons, and infotainment controls. The passenger headrest reads ‘K8’ while the driver headrest has ‘M8’ embroidered in it. The ‘K’ is for Katarina, Rimac’s wife, and a plaque between the seats reveals this Nevera is #013 of the 150 units planned for production.
Completing the custom touches are embroidered motifs of Solinjanka, a sculpture of a woman found at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb.
“It’s kind of a crazy experience to be a customer of your own company, and I probably wasn’t the easiest customer either,” Mate said. “Just like with all our customers – there was a process of co-creation; sharing ideas, evolving them and then finally perfecting them until you have a Nevera that stands alone and speaks to you personally. The result not only looks great but it tells an important story for me.”
