Mate Rimac calls it the 'spiritual successor of the Yugo - in every way' - and his choice of car gives away the joke

An official sketch of a Rimac-branded hot hatch was shared online. Mate Rimac suggested that this could be the spiritual successor of the Yugo. The April Fool's Day joke is based on Rimac's recent teaser about an upcoming Robotaxi. In the grand April Fool's tradition of car companies vying to outdo each other with elaborate pranks, Mate Rimac of Bugatti Rimac certainly steals the spotlight.

Even harnessing half of the Nevera's immense 1,888 hp of electric power would likely make it the fastest hatchback ever produced, leaving competitors like the Audi RS3 Sportback and the Mercedes-AMG A45 in the dust. Mate Rimac / Facebook Mate Rimac commented: We will unveil something special on the 26th of June. Some media has speculated that it will be a hot hatch. Well, they nailed it! We have decided to not make you all wait until June.
