Rimac Nevera: Performance Icon
Rimac Nevera is the fastest-accelerating homologated production hypercar worldwide:
- Top speed: 412 km/h
- Power: 1,914 hp (4 electric motors)
- Torque: 2,360 Nm
- 0-300 km/h: 9.3 seconds
- 0-402 m: 8.6 seconds (quarter-mile record)

The name "Nevera" means "Mediterranean storm with lightning" in Croatian — fitting symbolism for fully-electric high-performance.
Rimac Automobili — Croatian Tech Pride
Rimac Automobili, founded 2009 by Mate Rimac, is:
- International Croatian hypercar manufacturer
- Majority owner of Bugatti (since 2021, Bugatti Rimac joint venture)
- Symbol of Croatian engineering excellence
- Tech industry bridge to Web3 (via crypto stamp edition)
Pioneering Automotive Industry Partnership
CS3 is pioneering as the first automotive industry crypto stamp partnership:
- Before: postal themes (CS1 Vehicles, CS2 Postal History)
- Now: external industry partnership with Rimac Automobili
- Sets a model for other issuers (e.g., AT with Olympics 2024, FR with artists)
This partnership logic continues in subsequent editions (CS4 Tesla with Marrow Labs).

- Prints Croatian banknotes, passports, stamps
- High-security print technology
- Standard printer for official Croatian documents
- Continuous HR Pošta crypto stamp partner
Tech Stack: Last Ethereum Edition
CS3 is the last HR edition on Ethereum mainnet — CS4 (Tesla, 2022) switches to Polygon. Strategic tech transition:
| Aspect | CS1, CS2, CS3 (Ethereum) | CS4+ (Polygon) |
|---|---|---|
| Blockchain | Ethereum mainnet | Polygon Layer-2 |
| Gas costs | High | Low |
| Scaling | Limited | High |
| Tech partner | Bitx | Bitx + Marrow Labs |
NodeFactory as new co-partner from CS3 is preparation for the Polygon switch in CS4.
Designer Danijel Palčić

- Automotive illustration (technical accuracy)
- Motorsport visualization
- Hypercar aesthetics

World Stamp Day 2021
9 September 2021 repeats the World Stamp Day pattern from CS1:
- 2020: CS1 Vehicles on World Stamp Day
- 2021: CS3 Rimac Nevera on World Stamp Day
Pattern consistency creates collector expectation: a new HR crypto stamp drop on 09.09 of each year. (However, not continued in 2022 — CS4 only comes in December 2022.)
Significance in the Wiki
This edition documents:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rimac Automobili?
Rimac Automobili is a Croatian hypercar manufacturer, founded 2009 by Mate Rimac in Sveta Nedelja near Zagreb. The company specializes in fully-electric hypercars with extreme performance values.

The company holds performance records including the fastest acceleration 0-300 km/h of all production vehicles. As edition partner, Rimac Automobili gives HR Crypto Stamp 3 international prominence and bridges to the tech industry.
What is NodeFactory and why a new tech co-partner?
NodeFactory is a Croatian blockchain engineering studio specializing in smart contract development, Web3 infrastructure, and DApp development. In CS3, NodeFactory is new tech co-partner in addition to Bitx. NodeFactory brings special blockchain scaling expertise that later becomes important for the CS4 Polygon switch. HR reduces single-vendor risk through the Bitx-NodeFactory dual partnership. NodeFactory also has experience with tech partnerships in the automotive industry and becomes the 2022 tech partner for the Polygon switch in CS4. CS3 is thus structurally the last Ethereum mainnet edition and simultaneously preparation for the Polygon future.
