Porsche has upped their investment into Croatian electric car technology company Rimac Automobili to 24%, stating that “Rimac is well on its way to becoming a Tier 1 supplier for Porsche and other manufacturers in the high-tech segment.” While I think it’s possible that Rimac will still produce small-batch electric vehicles as showpieces, it’s clear that their most pivotal role will be in providing mega-brainiac horsepower to larger car companies.
We had the opportunity to visit Rimac’s headquarters before all the world shut down and, in light of this news, I think it’s a good time to look at what we shot to see how the above quote from Porsche matches with what Mate Rimac and his employees were saying before the company took on significant Porsche investment.
