The automotive world stood still at the 2024 Pebble Beach Car Show as Rimac unveiled its latest creation Nevera R. This all-electric hypercar isn’t just pushing boundaries; it’s obliterating them with performance figures that seem to defy the laws of physics.
The Rimac Nevera R boasts an eye-watering 2,107 horsepower, catapulting it from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 1.74 seconds. This blistering acceleration makes the Nevera R the fastest accelerating road-legal car ever produced, outpacing even its own braking capabilities.
At the heart of the Nevera R lies a next-generation 108kWh Rimac battery pack. This powerhouse not only delivers increased power but also enhances efficiency in a lighter package. The result is a top speed of 256 mph and a quarter-mile time of just 8.23 seconds.
The Nevera R doesn’t just rely on raw power. Its fixed rear wing and large front diffuser increase downforce by 15% and improve aerodynamic efficiency by 10%. These enhancements, coupled with advanced all-wheel torque vectoring and specially tuned Michelin Cup 2 tires, enable the car to corner with unprecedented speed and precision.
Equipped with carbon ceramic EVO2 brakes and an additional 190 horsepower of regenerative braking power, the Nevera R showcases Rimac’s commitment to holistic performance engineering.
With a starting price of $2.5 million and production limited to just 40 units worldwide, the Nevera R is as exclusive as it is extraordinary. Each unit offers hundreds of personalization options, ensuring that every Nevera R is as unique as its owner.
While the standard Nevera offers a 250-mile range, Rimac has yet to release range details for the R variant. However, given the performance focus of this model, range may take a back seat to pure, unadulterated speed.
Rimac Nevera R stands as a testament to what’s possible when engineering brilliance meets electric power. It’s not just a car; it’s a glimpse into a future where electric vehicles don’t just compete with their combustion counterparts—they leave them in the dust. The Nevera R isn’t just breaking records; it’s rewriting the entire playbook of what a hypercar can be.
