Bugatti Rimac (Rimac gained majority share of Bugatti in 2021) will be partnering with Europa-Park, Germany’s largest theme, in an expansion project that will pay homage to the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Set to open in 2024, the park’s new area, dedicated to Croatia, will become Europa-Park’s largest single area, showcasing the theme of ‘energy’ in collaboration with Bugatti Rimac.
Homage to Nikola Tesla
The new Europa-Park area pays homage to Nikola Tesla, the Croatian-born inventor that has impacted the world in various ways. Mate Rimac cites his compatriot Nikola Tesla as one of his great inspirations for exploring the use of electric motors and batteries in performance cars.
High-performance electrification technologies
Today, the Rimac Group (which also has Porsche and Hyundai as shareholders) has a technology which supplies high-performance electrification technologies to the global car manufacturers. It also has its own all-electric hypercar, the Nevera.
The ‘Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac’. which is the park’s first new large rollercoaster in 12 years, will be one of the Europa-Park’s most advanced rollercoasters.
“Ever since the very beginnings of the Rimac Group, our Croatian identity has been at the core of the business. The home of the Rimac Group will always be in Croatia, and much of what we do is inspired by this country. It’s an honour for our business to be represented in such a significant way at Europa-Park, and we’re excited to bring our first innovations to visitors from all over the world. But the addition of the Voltron Nevera ride is just the first step in our partnership, and as we grow even further, our relationship with Europa-Park will grow too,” said Mate Rimac. Founder & CEO of the Rimac Group.
