Bugatti-What is Rimac?
I would like to briefly summarize the contents below:

- Porsche AG plays a major role in positioning as a strategic partner
- Porsche CEO Oliver Blume and CEO Lutzmeschke join the Bugatti-Rimac Audit & Supervisory Board

- Current Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann resigned on October 31, 2021 and later became president of Lamborghini.
- The venture's new management team will include former Bugatti Production Manager and Co-Managing Director Christoph Piocheon (Chief Operating Officer)
- Larissa Frazier, Chief Financial Officer, was the most recent manager of digitalization and new business model development at Porsche.
- Emilio Cervo, McLaren's chief engineer, was the chief technology officer
- The move to the new Rimac campus, which is currently under construction at a cost of € 200 million, is planned for 2023.
