Electric hypercar Rimac Nevera accelerates from 0 to 60 mph faster than any other vehicle, breaking records, and offering additional details.
The Rimac Nevera R has made history by setting 24 world records in various acceleration, speed, and performance metrics, solidifying its position as the fastest accelerating electric hypercar in the world.
The Nevera R's impressive performance can be attributed to its monstrous 2,107 horsepower, delivered through four electric motors. This powerhouse propels the Nevera R to a top speed of 431.45 km/h (268.2 mph), making it one of the fastest production electric vehicles ever.
In terms of acceleration, the Nevera R leaves its competitors in the dust. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in an astonishing 1.66 seconds, a feat described as near teleportation speed. The Nevera R also smashes the record for 0–250–0 mph, completing the run in just 26.2 seconds, an improvement of over 5 seconds compared to previous records.
The Nevera R's quarter mile time is an impressive 7.9 seconds, shaving 0.35 seconds off prior bests. Its standing mile time is also impressive, coming in at 19.71 seconds, beating prior times by nearly a full second.
The Nevera R has also broken records in the realm of rapid deceleration. Its 0-100-0 km/h time is 3.32 seconds, while its 0-200-0 km/h time is 8.58 seconds. The Nevera R's 0-300-0 km/h time is 14.49 seconds, and its 0-400 km/h time is 17.35 seconds.
The Nevera R's impressive performance was independently verified by Dewesoft, a global leader in performance data acquisition. The tests were conducted at the Automotive Testing Papenburg (ATP) facility in Germany.
Rimac founder and President Mate Rimac attributes the Nevera R's record-breaking performance to relentless innovation. The Nevera R features a revised aerodynamic package, upgraded torque vectoring system for better handling and traction, and is equipped with specially developed Michelin tires.
In summary, the Rimac Nevera R's most notable performance highlights include:
| Metric | Record | Time / Speed | |------------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------| | Top speed | Fastest electric hypercar | 431.45 km/h (268.2 mph) | | 0–60 mph | Quickest acceleration | 1.66 seconds | | 0–250–0 mph | Acceleration + braking | 26.2 seconds | | Quarter mile | Fastest quarter mile | 7.9 seconds | | Standing mile | Fastest standing mile | 19.71 seconds | | 0–400 km/h acceleration| Fastest 0–400 km/h (retuned Nevera R) | under original 21.31 seconds |
These records firmly establish the Nevera R's forefront position in electric hypercar performance. Rimac has hinted at potential Nürburgring and Goodwood records for the Nevera R in the future, promising even more exhilarating performances from this groundbreaking electric hypercar.
The Nevera R's exclusivity is reflected in its price tag of €2.3 million (about $2.7 million USD), making it one of the most expensive and exclusive hypercars worldwide. The Nevera R is truly a testament to the power of electric vehicles and the innovation of Rimac.
The Rimac Nevera R's record-breaking performance is not limited to acceleration and speed; it also showcases impressive gadgets and technology, such as the specially developed Michelin tires and upgraded torque vectoring system, contributing to its exceptional handling and traction.
Moreover, the Nevera R's electric power puts it on par with some high-end lifestyle choices, as it delivers the same 0-60 mph speed as the world's fastest sports cars, including luxury models like the Ferrari LaFerrari, Bentley Continental GT, and Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, demonstrating that electric-vehicles are no longer just eco-friendly alternatives but can compete with traditional supercars and high-end gadgets in terms of performance.
