It is in the care of HR Owen London, the UK’s only official retailer of Rimac vehicles.

Having roamed the Capital, the Nevera will be on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (on July 8-11).

Ken Choo, HR Owen's chief executive, said: “Since meeting Mate Rimac and the whole Rimac Automobili team two years ago, we have believed wholeheartedly in their vision. To finally now see the culmination of years of development, with the Nevera finally in our showroom and on the streets of London, is a very special moment.

“Led by the group chairman of Berjaya Corp Berhad, Vincent Tan, HR Owen has built a reputation for extraordinary attention-to-detail in customer service, just as Rimac has perfected every small detail on the Nevera. It’s the foundation for a great partnership between our brands.”
