The Rimac Nevera, priced at $2.2 million, is one of the most advanced electric hypercars ever built. With its 1914 hp, 258 mph top speed, and 0–60 mph in just 1.74 seconds, it has shattered expectations of what EVs can achieve. Featuring 4 electric motors, 2340 Nm torque, and a 120 kWh battery offering a WLTP range of 490 km, the Nevera blends extreme performance with cutting-edge engineering. Its name comes from a powerful Mediterranean storm, symbolizing raw force and unpredictability.
The Rise of the Rimac Nevera
Handcrafted with an aerodynamic design, the Rimac Nevera is limited to just 150 units production. Built on an all-wheel drive layout, it uses a sophisticated Torque Vectoring System that adjusts power delivery 100 times per second for maximum grip and stability.
In November 2022, the Nevera achieved 412 km/h in Germany, verified by Racelogic. Then in May 2023, tested by Dewesoft, it set 23 performance records in a single day, including:
- 0–60 mph in 1.74 seconds
- Quarter mile in 8.25 seconds
- 0–400–0 km/h in 29.93 seconds
This put it ahead of rivals like the Koenigsegg Regera, Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, and Ferrari SF90 Stradale, cementing its place among the world’s greatest hypercars.
