MATE RIMAC - PRIVATE CAR COLLECTION AND PERSONAL LIFE - PART 2

EV Channels Review

In this second part of 'Idol Chat', Mate Rimac opens up his personal car collection, revealing a surprising passion for BMW M cars over his own company's hypercars. He admits to not driving an EV daily, preferring his BMW M5 or e-bikes. The collection features a pristine E30 M3 Evo III, a Z4 M Coupe, and a mention of a V10-powered E30 M3 project. Rimac discusses his unconventional approach to car ownership, emphasizing emotional connection over historical significance and expressing a desire to build a fleet of diverse cars for his employees. He also touches upon the challenges of running a startup, the public perception in Croatia, and the near-fatal crash of the Rimac Concept One during a Grand Tour test, highlighting how close it came to bankrupting the company. Despite his focus on hypercars, Rimac's personal taste leans towards analog driving experiences and cars that evoke childhood memories.
