Overview
- The 100 kWh prototype, developed with ProLogium and Mitsubishi, is claimed to deliver 20–30% higher energy density while weighing about 30 kg less than comparable packs.
- COO Nurdin Pitarevic says internal testing will start soon, with a long-term goal of reaching price parity with NMC cells by 2035.
- Rimac indicates the first application could be a mid-volume Bugatti in 2030, though it has not specified whether that car would be fully electric or a hybrid.
- The effort underscores Rimac Technology’s supplier strategy, with its e-axles already sourced by Porsche and BMW and new compact units in development.
- Reporting suggests the prospective Bugatti would be a separate model from the Tourbillon, which continues with its V16 hybrid powertrain.
