The Rimac Nevera has claimed a 0-400-0km/h record, beating Koenigsegg’s Regera
Electric hypercar goes 1.5s faster than Sweden’s hybrid V8 hero, also smashes out new 0-60mph time of 1.74s
As notable sage Dominic Toretto once opined, it doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile – winning’s winning. And in the important world of hypercar one-upmanship, the 1,888bhp Rimac Nevera electric hypercar has claimed a ‘winning’… by a whisker.
Because it managed a 0-400-0km/h (0-249-0mph) time of 29.93s, which is 1.5s faster than the Koenigsegg Regera. That car, with its 5.0-litre V8 and three electric motors and single-speed gearbox and otherworldy speed managed a time of 31.49s. Both of these times are really very fast enough.
Other acceleration figures recorded during its test day at Germany’s ATP facility (the full list is below) included breaching Rimac’s own previously claimed 0-60mph time of 1.85s – it went even faster at 1.74s. We’re told the speed runs were verified by Dewesoft and RaceLogic, that all the acceleration attempts were completed “with a standard one-foot rollout”, and that the Nevera wore road legal Michelin Cup 2 R tyres. The track wasn’t prepped, either.
“Growing up I always looked at the cars that made history moving the bar for performance,” company boss and founder Mate Rimac said, “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.

Rimac Nevera breaks 23 records in one session
Trying to break an automotive world record used to take years, if not decades, of preparation, sleepless nights, buckets of sweat, and a container of money. Nowadays, it seems this discipline has become a family affair, a feud between two siblings - technological twins if you will. The internet just began forgetting about speed records set by the Pininfarina Battista, so its twin, Rimac Nevera stepped up to the ring to keep our attention on the matter.
Before the advent of electric cars, breaking speed records meant twisted driveshafts every 10 seconds, broken gearboxes every 2 minutes, blown engines every 10 minutes, and blown budgets every hour. The electric car makes it look so easy - just jump in, put your seatbelts on, type something into the laptop, grab your ice cream, and away you go. If you don’t believe us, just watch the video from Rimac:
It is obvious the marketing team made the whole exercise look way easier than it really was, and we have no doubt the entire team worked tirelessly to achieve this. Watching the Nevera go from a standstill all the way to 400 km/h (nearly 250 mph) is a perception-altering experience. The 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) happens so quickly it almost becomes irrelevant - blink and you’ll miss it.
Pininfarina Battista set the world record last November, it accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.86 seconds, Nevera went out and took it away with 1.81 seconds. It’s a difference you won’t be able to tell, but at the same time, it’s a huge and difficult difference to beat. The 0 to 200 km/h record set by Battista was bettered by Nevera by 0.33 seconds - 4.42 against 4.75, which actually is a big gap.

Rimac Nevera dominates Nürburgring - bags new record
Rimac Nevera has surely been turning heads with a year full of spectacular record-breaking performances. Last Friday, this electric powerhouse added another feather to its cap: setting a striking benchmark at the revered Nürburgring track. And no, it didn't just win by a whisker. It annihilated the latest EV record belonging to Plaid S by a good 20 seconds. Let's let that sink in for a moment.
The man behind the wheel during this momentous feat? Croatian racer, Martin Kodrić. Now, despite grappling with some finicky weather and arguably the most challenging day at the track - the hottest day at the ‘Ring was good for grip but not so much for the powertrain - Kodrić managed to steer the Nevera to a lap time of 7:05:298. And no, he didn't have magic up his sleeves. Instead, he had the vehicle's unprecedented power - a whopping 1,914hp - to thank.
Emilio Scervo, the Chief Technology Officer at Bugatti Rimac, couldn't contain his pride. The venture to the Nürburgring was the first for the whole team, but it seemed like they had the place dialed down. A combination of virtual performance optimization and around 20 laps of testing culminated in this triumphant result. Kudos to the team for making a hypercar that doesn't just look flashy but performs like a beast.

The Rimac Nevera has smashed the Nürburgring EV lap record by 20 seconds
Plus: Rimac announces ‘Time Attack’ special edition to honour record-breaking hypercar
Seasoned Nürburgring enthusiasts will know both Tesla and Porsche have been going toe-to-toe for Nürburgring lap record honours for years. In one fell swoop, Rimac has smashed the pair of them.
Because its Nevera electric hypercar has just set a Nürburgring lap time of 7m 05.298s. That’s 20 seconds faster than the latest salvo issued by Tesla and its Model S Plaid, which managed 7m 25.231s back in May.
Of course, comparing a 1,888bhp purpose built hypercar to an admittedly rocketship-fast family saloon isn’t fair, but the vastness of the gap is worth commenting on. We’re told the Nevera simply wore Michelin Cup2R tyres (very sticky), and was helmed by Croatian racing driver Martin Kodric during its lap last Friday.
Apparently the attempt was carried out on ‘one of the hottest days on the track this summer’, according to Kodric. “Driving it around the Nordschleife was a real thrill, from launching out of the carousel, with 1,914hp (1,888bhp) being delicately distributed between the four wheels, or pinning the accelerator to the floor down the 1.3-mile straight, pushing well over 240mph,” he said.
