- The Rimac Nevera is claimed to have set 23 records in one day at the Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany.
- The 1813-hp electric hypercar is said to have accelerated to 60 mph in 1.74 seconds and completed the quarter-mile in 8.25 seconds.
- Previously, Rimac claimed the Nevera set an EV top speed record—reaching 258 mph.
Never heard of the Rimac Nevera? Here's the SparkNotes version: It's a Croatian-built electric hypercar with four motors sending a combined 1813 horsepower and 1741 pound-feet of torque to both axles. Combine that all-wheel-drive traction with the instantaneous thrust provided by electric propulsion and one might imagine how Rimac can claim its insanely powerful EV set numerous (23 in total) acceleration and braking records in just one day.
A Good Day at the Track
The company, which also now controls the legendary Bugatti brand, says the Nevera set the records on the 2.49-mile straights at the Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany. To help legitimize its claims, Rimac says third-party verifiers Dewesoft and Racelogic were on hand to independently authenticate the record-setting runs, which can be viewed in the video below.
The Nevera's tests are said to have been conducted with a standard 1-foot rollout on a non-prepped surface. The car wore a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires—just like those on the Chevy Corvette Z06 with the Z07 track package. While the 670-hp gas-fed Vette on race-ready rubber ripped to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds during our testing, that impressive figure is still almost a full second behind the Nevera's claimed 60-mph time of 1.74 seconds.
Along with claiming to have completed the quarter-mile in 8.25 seconds (Dewesoft time), here are some of the Nevera's other noteworthy acceleration times, with the quickest time reported between Dewesoft and Racelogic listed:
- 100 mph: 3.21 seconds
- 120 mph: 4.19 seconds
- 130 mph: 4.74 seconds
- 200 mph: 10.86 seconds
- 250 mph: 21.86 seconds
The Nevera is also claimed to have set braking records that include accelerating from zero to 100 km/h (approx. 62 mph) and back to zero in 3.99 seconds (Dewesoft time). It completed similar acceleration/braking runs, hitting 200 km/h (approx. 124 mph), 300 km/h (approx. 186 mph), and 400 km/h (approx. 249 mph) in as little as 8.85 seconds, 15.68 seconds, and 29.93 seconds, respectively.
