Jay Leno Drives The Rimac Nevera For The First Time | Carscoops carscoops
and to hear the test driver tell it, the team overachieved on all of its goals by the time this production car rolled off the line.
On the road, it lives up to its metrics and flashy styling. Zrncevic talks about how the development team tested the car’s super-simple launch control by doing it some 200 times from 0-120 mph without any issues. “Well that’s pretty good!” Leno exclaims when he finally gets a chance to test out that wicked acceleration.
“It’s effortless, it’s seamless… as soon as this guy gets up to my fender I’m going to tap it and lose him,” he says as a Mercedes rolls up next to him before, just as he said, he dips into the accelerator and the Rimac flies away at an almost comical pace. Leno gives the car pretty high praise too, saying that “This thing is great, it’s not intimidating at all.” It’s a long video but it’s well worth a watch as one automotive legend enjoys a truly amazing car.
