Rimac has once again pushed the boundaries of electric hypercar performance with the dazzling Nevera R, claiming an astonishing 24 world speed records, including the coveted 0‑400‑0 km/h run in just 25.79 seconds. The record was previously held by Koenigsegg.
Track Domination and Record Reclamation
At Germany’s ATP proving grounds, the Nevera R blitzed through benchmarks, beating its predecessor and rivals across the board. Highlights include:
- 0–60 mph in 1.66 s, shaving off 0.08 seconds from the original.
- 0–400 km/h in just 17.35 seconds.
- 0–400 km/h and back to zero in 25.79 seconds—securing a record 4.14 s faster than the base model and outpacing Koenigsegg’s Jesko Absolut by over 2 seconds.
- Top speed reached 431.45 km/h (268.2 mph), now the fastest recorded for an electric production car.
Engineering the Unthinkable
Underneath the sleek carbon skin lies a supercharged version of the Nevera’s quad-motor setup, producing 2,107 hp which is an upgrade of over 200 hp. WOW
Rimac has also introduced a revised aero package with 15% more downforce and 10% better efficiency, including a fixed rear wing and improved airflow along the body.
Pirelli-tuned Michelin Cup 2 rubber and enhanced torque vectoring that adjust power distribution 100 times per second.
Rimac CEO Mate Rimac notes: “In a single generation…we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades. But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster, while still maintaining…comfort and practicality”.
What This Means for EVs
The Nevera R ushers in a new era for electric hypercars, not just by accelerating faster, but by redefining expectations of their capability. From explosive 0–60 mph times to near‑supercar braking within moments, it proves EVs can offer supercar-level thrills and then some.
Only 40 units are planned, each with a hefty starting price of around €2.3 million (~US $2.7 m), making it one of the rarest and most exclusive EVs on the planet
