When you think of an automotive executive working at the top of the chain, you’d picture a well-pressed suit, a packed daily agenda, and a boring company car to commute to and from home. For Mate Rimac, being the founder and CEO of Rimac Group, it doesn’t change his personal style, nor does it with his taste and choice in cars. Late last year, Mate went viral on social media after sharing a post on Instagram of himself completing a day at the office before walking out to the employee garage to his E39 BMW M5. After what sparked a common interest throughout the car world, millions of us car fanatics were left wondering the same question: “What else is in Mate Rimac’s car collection?” Thanks to Top Gear, we recently learned more about the 37-year-old Croatian CEO, and more importantly, what fills the parking spaces in his garage.

What first began as an in-depth walkthrough of Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology’s new headquarters, showcasing the Rimac Nevera R and prototype Bugatti Tourbillons, quickly shifted into an impromptu look at the cars in Rimac’s collection. And before we drool over some standout examples like the MK2 Volkswagen Golf GTI and 997 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0, those reside on-site as a friendly storage agreement between Mate and his friends. But with an eclectic lineup that features everything from staple BMW M models to competing hypercars like the Pininfarina Batista and Aston Martin Valkyrie, there’s no denying that Mate Rimac is a serious car guy. Listening to him speak on each car and his reasoning behind adding it to his collection, it’s clear that his car-buying is defined as either dream cars he’s always wanted or modern marvels that scratch his itch for new tech. And while this may keep us at bay for now, we know there are still other current and future cars in Mate Rimac’s collection that we’d love to see.
