Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac said the supercar market is entering its “Swiss watch phase,” with the wealthiest buyers rejecting high-tech electronics and electric vehicles in favor of precision mechanics and hand-crafted details.Rimac, the 38-year-old EV entrepreneur who took over Bugatti in 2021, said the car market is splitting in two: The mainstream global car market is becoming dominated by lower-priced EVs, many from China, while the very top of the car market will be driven by wealthy buyers who want more old-school cars with loud internal combustion engines and emotional appeal.
