You don't make cars like that to loose money... duh...
I think there is a bit more nuance then "a five year old Rimac". This is something very common in tech, you buy/invest in the early startups to develop something experimental into consumer ready.
What do you mean cars like that? Im talking about Porsche the company with some of the highest profits made per car and now they´ve pulled a genius stroke again and simply sold a car that already existed with a new body style put on top of it. The profit margins will be insane compared to other electrical cars because they did not have to develop anything on the drivetrain side, they just took the drivetrain from the shelf at Rimac and put it in a Taycan.
The drivetrain IS Rimac.
They still have to pay Rimac for the devolpment. Or the product. Depending on who is building it.
A lot of drivetrains are not built by the manufacturer of the car. A lot comes from third parties like Magna, like Continental and like Bosch. Or in this case Rimac.
Yes 15% of Rimac is owned by Porsche, but that just means that they effectively get a 15% discount.
Its a Rimac Concept One slightly tweaked and sold with a Porsche interior and exterior.
Rimac Concept One premiered in 2011.
Rimac helps and partners with a lot of different companies like Koenigsegg and Aston but this is way different.
But smart, i bet the profit margins will be through the roof compared to other electrical cars on the market.
