It is already the fastest-accelerating EV in the world today.
Croatian electric vehicle maker, Rimac Automobil now has the bragging rights to the title of the fastest EV in the market, after its Nevera clocked 258 miles an hour top speed at theThe record was previously held by Elon Musk's Tesla whose model Plaid S managed 167 mph at Nurburgring, also in Germany last year. However, with this achievement, Rimac has finally achieved what it had aimed for in 2018, when it first unveiled the Nevera at the Geneva Motor Show, hitting the 258mph mark.
The 120 kWh battery pack can deliver a 304-mile range or it can be put to use for reaching speeds as high as 186 mph in less than 10 seconds. For those, who might have been excited by the top speed capability of the car, the Nevera is delivered with a limited top speed of 219 mph and the recent trial was made possible as a special event with the support of Rimac engineers.An attempt to clock the fastest speed on a track might sound like an engineering challenge.
The car was fitted with road-legal Michelin 2R tires and the tire maker's team was available at the site to oversee the attempt since the stress of the run would be largely borne by the tires.Behind the wheel was Rimac's Chief Test and Development driver, Miro Zrnčević, who needed to give the Nevera the perfect entry from the curved sections of the track onto the straights.
"I’ve driven Nevera since it first turned a wheel and to see the perfectly honed car that is today is a really emotional moment," said Zrnčević in the press release. "The most important thing I have learned during the top-speed attempt is how composed and stable the car was – confirming that our aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics teams have done an amazing job.”
