The astonishing AutomobiliRimac Nevera has set 23 speed records to add to its title of world's fastest electric car -
The figures were achieved with a one-foot rollout, but even so, the Nevera ran on road-legal Michelin Cup 2 R tyres on un-prepped asphalt, achieving a 1.81-second 0-62mph sprint. It went on to reach 124mph in 4.42 seconds, and 186mph in a scarcely believable 9.22 seconds. The Nevera was equally impressive in braking tests, pulling up from 62mph in just 28.96 metres.
The Nevera is delivered to customers with a limited top speed of 219mph, but Rimac can lift this to the full 258mph at special customer events under controlled conditions, primarily to ensure optimal tyre condition for such high speeds. The Nevera’s construction is derived from a central carbonfibre monocoque tub, with aluminium subframes bolted at each end to which the axles are mounted. The battery pack also forms a structural part of the carbon tub itself, adding 37 per cent extra stiffness to the torsional rigidity rating. Suspension is of a double wishbone design at all four corners, with adaptive dampers and an adjustable ride height giving the Nevera increased adjustability within the driver mode systems.
While the exterior design does look similar to that of the concept, Rimac has completed a large amount of aero refinement to clean up the shape, while also improving downforce values that are augmented by its active aerodynamic components. These include a moveable grille insert, flaps under the splitter and in the rear diffuser, plus a moveable rear wing. All these operate independently depending on the selected driver mode.
