Rimac Nevera breaks 23 records, sets new 0-400-0 km/h benchmark
While entering the record book is not an easy feat for any carmaker, Croatian EV maker Rimac Automobili has managed to smash 23 records in a single day with its Nevera hypercar. The electric coupe defeated the Koenigsegg Regera to claim the records for acceleration and braking. The EV managed a 0-400-0 km/h run in just a span of 29.93 seconds.
Why does this story matter?
- Since its inception in 2009, Rimac Automobili has been busy developing a potent all-electric hypercar, based on the Concept One EV.
- The company achieved the speed record for a production electric car with the Nevera in November last year. The coupe hit a top speed of 412km/h.
- Touted as "the ultimate record-breaking hypercar" by the carmaker, the EV has now broken 23 more records.
The Nevera has set new benchmarks for hypercars
Rimac Nevera manages to accelerate from 0-100km/h, 0-200km/h, 0-300km/h, and 0-400km/h in 1.82, 4.42, 9.23, and 21.32 seconds, respectively. The coupe can also do 0-400-0 km/h in just 29.93 seconds, with a 100-0km/h braking distance of 29.12m. The EV also managed to complete the highly-revered "Standing mile" run (1.6km) in just 20.62 seconds, with the 1/4 mile coming in at 8.26 seconds.
