2020 Rimac C Two

TG's best electric performance car: the Rimac Nevera

Electric Awards 2022: the Nevera is next-generation stuff in *this* generation

Why did you give the Rimac Nevera an award?

Because thus far, the Nevera lives up to the hype, and delivers some genuine surprise. You may not be suffused with desire for a supercar without a V8 or V12, but there’s something special about the way this car goes about its business - if you’re reading Top Gear because you love driving, the Nevera is a warm promise as well as a perceived threat. No, not particularly comparable to the traditional super or hypercar experience, but no less valid for that. This is next-generation stuff in this generation, and Rimac is the original source. Others are coming, Rimac is the first.

First Rimac Nevera delivered to Nico Rosberg

Rimac Nevera with chassis number 001 was just delivered to Nico Rosberg. The F1 World Champion is enjoying retirement and growing his car collection with the Nevera taking a proud place next to the upcoming AMG One.

Nico has been involved with Rimac for a while now, he bought the C-Two back in 2020 and his enthusiasm for the brand helped him secure the first production slot for the Nevera. Each of the electric hypercars is built to individual specification and the Nevera handed over to Nico was fully customized with deep black paintwork, exposed carbon fiber elements, custom interior in black alcantara and highly polished aluminum wheels.

There has been so much going on at Rimac recently - the company is no longer called Rimac, after taking over Bugatti it is now called Bugatti Rimac. During the Nevera handover, Nico Rosberg asked Mate Rimac, the owner of the company, about his plans for Bugatti. The answer was enigmatic but pointing to a very interesting Chiron replacement.

Mate Rimac confirmed the future Chiron replacement will be powered by a hybrid powertrain, but one that’s unlike anything we have seen. There will be a combustion engine involved and the car will be highly electrified. Taking into account the Rimac’s expertise with powerful electric motors, we can expect the combustion engine to be responsible for providing electricity and not driving the wheels directly.

Monaco-based YouTuber takes delivery of first ever Rimac Nevera

37-year-old man meets Mate Rimac in person to collect the very first Nevera electric hypercar

Last month we brought you news that the first example of the utterly mad, 1,888bhp Rimac Nevera had been completed. That was chassis 000 however, which Rimac is keeping for itself: this is the first of 150 cars to be handed over to deep-pocketed customers.

And doesn’t said customer look happy? Travelling to Zagreb, Croatia, to pick up the £1.7 million electric hypercar, you can watch his entire handover in the 20-minute video above.

He’s met outside the factory by none other than Mate Rimac himself - founder of Rimac and now CEO of the partnership between his firm and Bugatti - for a quick tour of the facilities before the big reveal.

We’ll let you digest the details from the video for yourself, but there are so many cool nuggets of info. No one is allowed to touch the car without wearing white gloves pre-delivery, and there are 14 cameras throughout the car so owners can film and post track day videos without needing to wire up half a dozen GoPros. Clever.

Nico Rosberg takes delivery of first Rimac Nevera hypercar

Ex-Formula 1 world champion Nico Rosberg has become the first person to take delivery of the new electric Rimac Nevera hypercar.

Rimac is a Croatian electrification company that is rapidly growing. Based on the outskirts of Zagreb, the firm bought a majority stake in Bugatti last year and works with a number of other manufacturers.

It also develops its own electric hypercars, with the Nevera being its latest model.

Described by Rimac as the ‘world’s first all-electric hypercar GT’, it boasts a huge 1409kW, allowing for an incredible 0-60mph (96km/h) time of just 1.85 seconds.

It will also be limited to just 150 units, with 2016 Formula 1 winner Rosberg becoming the first owner of one.

His Nevera bears the chassis number #001, and Rimac said Rosberg wanted to go for the ‘full Batmobile spec’. It’s painted in Stellar Black with polished Vertex wheels and gloss-black brake callipers, while the inside is trimmed in black Alcantara and features a subtle signature from Rosberg.

Rimac Nevera is world's fastest electric production car

The electric 1887bhp hypercar hit a top speed of 258mph - a third of the speed of sound

The Rimac Nevera has become the world’s fastest electric production car, achieving a record-breaking top speed figure to match its eye-watering quarter-mile run from 2021.

The Croatian hypercar, which was driven by Rimac’s chief test and development driver, Miro Zrnčević, hit a top speed of 258mph.

Set into its highest-speed mode, which improves the balance between drag and downforce, the Nevera achieved the record at the Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany, making use of two 4km straights.

It’s the first time the Nevera has reached its 258mph top speed, which was a target set by the Rimac team back when the car was initially revealed as the C_Two concept at the 2018 Geneva motor show.

Already deemed the world’s fastest-accelerating production car over a quarter mile (8.582sec), the Nevera is powered by four electric motors producing a staggering 1887bhp. Rimac says it hits 0-62mph in 1.95sec and 0-100mph in 4.3sec.

A Nevera delivered to a customer comes with a top speed limited to 219mph but can be adjusted to theoretically hit the 258mph figure in controlled conditions at special, Rimac-supported events.

The Rimac Nevera has hit a 258mph top speed, becomes world’s fastest electric car

Croatia’s 1,914bhp electric speed machine has verified its top speed ambition

Faster than the electrically charged storm it is named after. Faster in fact, than any electric car before it – the Rimac Nevera has just posted a top speed of 258mph, making it the world’s fastest EV.

It’s therefore verified the ambition it set for itself when launched. We’re told the Nevera’s top speed run took place at the Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany; a track that features a pair of 4km (2.5m) long straights. There was a Racelogic V-Box on board to verify the top speed.

The 1,914bhp electric hypercar features a 6,960-cell, 120kWh battery powering four surface-mounted permanent magnet motors driving each individual wheel, and was set to its ‘top speed’ mode for the, well, top speed run. Obviously.

That creates “an aerodynamic profile that balances drag and downforce to ensure stability at high speed”, a handy feature when attempting to transform 1,740lb ft of torque into significant forward motion. The run was set on Michelin Cup 2Rs – “with the oversight of a Michelin technician to check their condition” – and with that, RImac’s chief test driver Miro Zrnčević was on his merry way.

He rolled out of the German circuit’s banking at a cool 155mph, at which point he pinned it. “It wasn’t until Miro had lifted off the throttle, bringing the Nevera back down to more normal speeds safely, that the news came over the radio,” Rimac said, “258mph, exactly as simulated many years ago.”

“To travel at 412kph, or 258mph, means travelling at a third of the speed of sound,” Zrnčević said. “Simply achieving that alone in a road car is incredibly complex, but in Nevera we have created a car that can travel long distances on a single charge, can tackle tight and twisting race tracks and can drift as well as break straight-line speed records, both for acceleration and V-MAX.

Rimac Nevera Is The Fastest Production EV With 256 MPH (412 KM/H) Top Speed

We know electric vehicles are known for their mind-warping and whisper-quiet acceleration but generally speaking top speed is not often mentioned.

Rimac has officially redefined this arena with an astounding 256 mph (412 km/h) speed record with their Nevera supercar.

The record attempt happened at Automotive Testing Papenburg, a facility with an oval course featuring two 4 km (2.5 mile) straightaways.

The Rimac Nevera is officially the fastest production EV

The Rimac Nevera has completed a speed run that saw it capture the record for the fastest production EV in the world.

The Rimac team, with Miro Zrnčevic Chief Test and Development Driver at the wheel, drove the Nevera at the ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany at a top speed of 412km/h (or 256 mph) to claim the record.

The oval track has 4km of straights, which were necessary for the Nevera to reach the record-breaking 412km/h speed.

The Nevera had road-legal Michelin Cup 2R rubber on, while the speed was verified by the Racelogic V-Box GPS measurement kit.

Rimac Nevera Sets 23 Records In A Day Including Fastest Ever 0 to 400 km/h to 0

Rimac and Pininfarina are trading blows with their respective EV hypercars but it seems the Croatian folk can boast the most after setting 23 speed records in one day.

The full list of achievements by the Rimac Nevera can be seen below but some of the more mind-bending ones include an 8.25 seconds quarter mile, 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph) in 9.2 seconds and 0 to 400 km/h (249 mph) in 21.31 seconds.

These figures ensure it topples the Pininfarina Battista off the top of the charts for 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) as well as the quarter-mile time (Battista managed 8.55 seconds).

Rimac is immensely proud of the time it takes the Nevera to get to 400 km/h and back to zero again, claiming that this combined test of traction, acceleration, power, aerodynamics, braking force and grip is the ultimate measure of a hypercar’s straight-line performance.

The Nevera achieved the above in 29.93 seconds beating the Koenigsegg Agera RS record from 2019 which stood at 31.49 seconds.
