As well as placing Bugatti Rimac close to valuable partners and suppliers, and enabling it to provide fast and responsive support when needed, the new facility will act as a satellite to the company’s headquarters in Zagreb, with a future capacity of up to 50 employees working in tandem and the team in Croatia.

Since its inception in 2021, Bugatti Rimac has made clear its intention to bring to market pioneering solutions that take automotive performance and innovation to new levels, and the Italian satellite team will be tasked with developing new technologies and advanced engineering that will deliver the best results. this promise.

The team will work on future luxury cars from the Bugatti and Rimac brands, as well as flagship products, and individual units focused on specific regions.
