RIMAC AUTOMOBILI

The brand's electrified hypercar reaches an incredible 412 km/h

Developed by Croatian company Rimac Automobili, the Nevera electric hypercar was able to demonstrate in practice at the end of October its ability to run at a speed of 412 km/h, bringing the car closer to the goal announced four years ago during the model presentation. This electric car, although it will be produced in a print run of no more than 150 copies, has reason to be formally considered the fastest among the serials.

Recall that Rimac uses electric motors of its own design, in preparation for achieving a speed record, it also paid attention to the control software, responsible for the directional stability of the car during the acceleration and cooling of the power plant. The power of the latter, we remember, reaches 1914 hp, four electric motors drive the car, and it surpasses the 100 km/h line in 1.86 seconds. It is assumed that those lucky enough to have pre-ordered copies of Rimac Nevera since the first year's circulation (50 pieces) will pay at least $2.4 million for each.

As explained in a video on Rimac's corporate YouTube channel, the speed record was set at a test track in the German city of Papenburg, which has an oval shape with two 4 km straight sections, on which the test rider in full time had to reach the specified maximum speed. According to him, when driving at a speed of 412 km/h, the car crosses an imaginary football field every second.

Elon Musk's company will not release second-generation Tesla Roadster hypercars until next year or even later. They will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds or faster and reach a top speed of over 400 km/h. At the same time, the cost of the car will be around $250,000, so this vehicle will be an order of magnitude more democratic than the Rimac Nevera and its equivalents, if Elon Musk manages to keep the stated features and price within planned limits.
