Porsche gets 10 percent of Rimac

High voltage battery and power trains

Porsche AG officially announced that it acquired 10 percent of Rimac automobile for an undisclosed sum.

Rimac is a boutique carmaker behind the 2000 horse power Concept 1 car. Rimac made a lot of news with its Concept 1, 2000 horse power electric car and the fact that Richard Hammond - ex Top Gear presenter - and now working on The Grand Tour, managed to crash that expensive car.

Currently the Croatian based company has a headcount of 400 employees and a big chunk of them are engineers. It is no secret that you don’t have to pay people in Croatia much and the country makes news with a massive outflow of people to mainly Ireland and Germany.

Porsche has invested the money in this promising young company as a part of its electrification efforts. This is definitely cheaper than starting from scratch and Rimac has something that will solve Porsche’s electrification effort. Porsche was obviously one of the undisclosed OEMs from the picture above.
