Rimac Is the Speed King Once Again

Just when we thought the Nevera hypercar couldn’t get any crazier, Rimac upped the ante with the Nevera R. Hiding a new battery pack and even more powerful motors under its svelte carbon fiber exterior, the Nevera R delivered a whopping 2,107 horsepower and a top speed of 256 miles per hour—193 horsepower more than the previous Nevera.

Now, the Nevera R has come for its predecessor’s records.

The Rimac Nevera R recently broke 24 world speed records—including 23 held by the previous Nevera. The most significant of which being the 0-249-0 mph record, which the company reclaimed from Koenigsegg with a blistering time of 25.79 seconds. That’s 2.04 seconds quicker than the Regera and 4.14 seconds faster than the original Nevera.

The Nevera R also beat the previous Nevera’s 0-60 mph time, getting there in just 1.66 seconds. The hypercar also hit 124 mph in 3.95 seconds and 186 mph in a ridiculous 7.89 seconds. Plus many, many more.

“When we first introduced Nevera, it almost seemed like the pinnacle of hypercar performance had been reached,” notes founder and CEO Mate Rimac.

“In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades. But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster, while still maintaining much of the comfort and practicality that makes the Nevera a real, usable daily car. Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won’t stop here.”

As you’d expect, that record-breaking speed isn’t easily attainable. The Rimac Nevera R costs $2.7 million (€2.3 million) and production is limited to just 40 examples worldwide.
