The Rimac Nevera has always been a symbol of extreme performance, but the introduction of the Rimac Nevera R takes it to an entirely new level. This latest version of the Nevera pushes the boundaries of what hypercars can achieve, with an incredible 2,107 horsepower that redefines speed, agility, and cutting-edge technology.
A New Level of Power
The Nevera R isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a complete transformation. Rimac has taken the already groundbreaking Nevera and amplified its capabilities to extraordinary heights. At its core is a next-generation 108 kWh battery pack, which adds an extra 193 horsepower compared to the standard Nevera. This power surge, along with a focus on weight reduction, results in staggering performance numbers. The Nevera R can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 1.74 seconds and reach 124 mph in just 4.38 seconds—figures that put it far ahead of most high-performance cars on the market.
Blistering Speed and Performance
The Nevera R’s acceleration is astonishing, but it doesn’t stop there. It covers a quarter-mile in just 8.23 seconds and hits 186 mph in only 8.66 seconds, making it one of the fastest street-legal cars in the world. With this performance, the Nevera R joins the elite 2,000-horsepower club, standing alongside hypercars like the Koenigsegg Gemera.
Track-Ready Enhancements
Rimac didn’t focus solely on speed; the Nevera R is also engineered for the track. It features a new aerodynamic package that includes a fixed wing, a large diffuser, and a deeper front lip, all designed to enhance downforce and stability at high speeds. Michelin Cup 2 tires, combined with increased camber, boost lateral traction, while the retuned All-Wheel Torque Vectoring system and refined steering ensure precision handling. The Nevera R also boasts new carbon ceramic brakes with a silicone matrix layer, providing superior stopping power.
These enhancements translate to a significant performance boost on the track. The Nevera R is 3.8 seconds faster per lap at the Nardo Handling Track compared to its predecessor. To put this in perspective, the Nardo track is 3.8 miles long, meaning the Nevera R is a full second faster per mile—a remarkable difference that could lead to record-breaking performances on more challenging circuits like the Nürburgring. Although official lap times are yet to be confirmed, there’s speculation that the Nevera R could break the seven-minute barrier and challenge current lap record holders.
A New Benchmark in the Hypercar World
The Rimac Nevera R isn’t just another hypercar; it’s a bold statement in the automotive industry. It showcases Rimac’s relentless pursuit of perfection and sets a new standard for what’s possible in terms of performance. As we await more details and potential record-breaking achievements, one thing is certain: the Rimac Nevera R has cemented its place in automotive history.
This hypercar isn’t just about raw speed; it’s a testament to cutting-edge engineering and innovation. With its breathtaking acceleration, superior handling, and track-focused enhancements, the Nevera R has redefined what a hypercar can be, making it a true icon in the world of high-performance vehicles.
