Rimac is developing a single-seat tracked weapon.

With just days to go until Rimac unveils its track-focused Nevera R in California, company boss and founder Mate Rimac has revealed they are working on creating the ultimate track car.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){ adpushup.triggerAd(“4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a”); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd(“6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657”); } });

Unlike some other brands in the supercar space, Rimac has yet to venture into the realm of non-street-legal track cars, preferring instead to build the ultimate all-electric hypercar and even develop innovative robotaxis. Mate revealed that this will soon change, with the brand’s first track car set to offer performance that exceeds that of current Le Mans cars and even Formula 1 cars.

“Now we’ve decided that we want to push the limits not only of a road car, but also of a track car,” he told Motor1. “So we’re building a track car, a single-seater, that will be faster than any car on most tracks. Faster than a Formula 1 car, faster than a Le Mans car.”

Many details about the striking new model remain a mystery, but Mate Rimac says it will be based on a bespoke platform and feature a convertible cockpit. Development of the model appears to be progressing well, with Mate revealing the car “could” be unveiled this year before making its track debut in 2025.

“Safety is key, but what about the rest? There are no rules,” he added. “(It will be) beyond Formula 1 or LMP regulations.”

It’s unclear how many examples of the car the Croatian brand intends to produce, but Matt said it will seek to break lap records with the new car.

Just a month ago, Red Bull rocked the track-only supercar market with the Adrian Newey-designed RB17. Powered by a high-revving naturally aspirated V10 engine and backed by a hybrid powertrain, Red Bull’s rocket ship should also be able to match lap times of modern F1 cars. It sounds like the Croatian is about to give it a competition.
