Rimac’s Nevera R makes the world’s fastest production EV a little faster


Rimac, the company behind the absurdly quick Nevera EV, says it’s now made it even faster with the Nevera R. This new version of Rimac’s new electric supercar can apparently hit 60mph from a stop in just 1.74 seconds, or about a tenth of a second faster than the original.

The EV apparently generates 2,107 horsepower, or about 200 more than its predecessor. On top of that, Rimac says the Nevera R has better aerodynamics, more downforce, and improved grip, and that it managed to knock 3.8 seconds off the Nevera’s lap time on the Nardo Ring, a high-speed Italian track owned by Porsche.

Like the regular Nevera, the new EV supercar requires “manufacturer oversight” to unlock its top speed of 256mph. Without that, the car is limited to 217mph, reports MotorTrend. The outlet says that Rimac expects that the car’s 108kWh battery will be good for about 250 miles of range under the European WLTP cycle, though it hasn’t been certified yet.
