Ex-Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg was the first customer to take delivery of the roughly $3-million Rimac Nevera supercar in 2022. The car’s performance in “drift” mode was so extreme even Rosberg nearly smashed it into a cliff wall in Monaco. I sat down with him during the Toronto auto show in February to discuss near-death experiences, what makes a good EV, what distinguishes Rimac’s technology and why he “hated” driving his Model S Plaid, even though he’s a fan of Tesla.Liisa Robbins/The Globe and Mail
a steering wheel, even for Bugatti, costs like $5-million. You need to pay for the airbag, for buttons, crash testing.In Croatia, there is no auto industry, there was no talent. There was no automotive university, but there was a mechanical engineering university teaching shipbuilding. I told them I want to build a car. They told me it’s impossible to build a car in Croatia. They told me the sooner you give up, the less people will go down with you. So, no help there.
Why are all these major car companies – BMW and Hyundai – coming to Rimac now for high-voltage batteries? For me, the Taycan was the best car to get around town. I loved it. There wasn’t any disadvantage of that car compared to the M5 – except drifting, that doesn’t go well in the Taycan. But I love that car.
