In a remarkable display of power and performance, the Rimac Nevera, an electrifying hypercar from the visionary minds at Rimac Automobili, shattered an astounding 23 world records in a single day. This extraordinary feat took place at the hallowed Automotive Testing Papenburg facility in Germany, where the Nevera unleashed its unyielding might on its sprawling 4-kilometre straights.
Equipped with road-legal Michelin Cup 2 R tires, the Nevera proved its mettle as it catapulted from 0 to 100 km/h in an astonishingly swift 1,82 seconds, triumphantly surpassing Rimac’s own officially quoted time of 1,85 seconds. It is important to note that this explosive sprint was not achieved from a stationary position; rather, a one-foot rollout was incorporated to ensure utmost accuracy. What’s more, the audacious test was conducted on an unaltered surface, underscoring the exceptional prowess of the Nevera.
Leading the charge of Rimac’s record-breaking onslaught was its staggering acceleration from 0 to 400 km/h, achieved in a mere 21,31 seconds. A plethora of other records swiftly succumbed to the Nevera’s indomitable spirit, including the quarter-mile sprint, the standing mile, and the jaw-dropping 100-0 km/h stopping distance.
Since its inception in Croatia back in 2009, Rimac Automobili has ceaselessly pursued the creation of electric hypercars that embody excitement and cutting-edge technology. The Concept-One, Rimac’s inaugural electric vehicle, made its grand entrance onto the automotive stage in 2016, earning a well-deserved reputation as one of the world’s fastest-production vehicles at the time. However, its exclusivity was unmatched, with a mere eight of these automotive marvels gracing the roads.
In 2018, Rimac unveiled the Concept-Two, an evolution of their pioneering electric masterpiece that ultimately metamorphosed into its production form, aptly christened the Nevera. The Nevera stands as a towering testament to the vast potential of electric hypercars, effortlessly outperforming their internal combustion engine counterparts while leaving no trace of emissions in their wake.
Mate Rimac, the ingenious founder and CEO of Rimac Automobili, articulated his profound pride and ambition in a statement, saying, “Growing up I always looked at the cars that made history moving the bar for performance, in awe of the kind of revolutionary technology they brought to the road. That is what is driving me from day one – to develop new technology that redefines what is possible. Today, I am proud to say that the car we’ve created can get to 400 km/h and back to 0 in less time than it took the McLaren F1 to accelerate up to 350 km/h. And not only that, but it can do it again and again, breaking every other performance record in the process. If you had a Nevera and access to a track, you could do it too.”
