fuck :rofl:


That's not why you clicked this article. You want to see Nevera blow up a drag strip, and it takes just three passes to set a new production-car world record. All three passes are done on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires and actually, the first pass didn't even include a burnout. With cold tires, the Nevera ripped an 8.74 at 165.5 mph and Brooks' reaction to the pass was ... animated. The second pass added a burnout and it definitely helped with grip off the line as the car improved to 8.61 at 167 mph. Arguably more impressive was the 60-foot time of 1.45 seconds; an astounding number for street tires.

The record run was pass number three. A bit more diligence went into the burnout, making sure the tires were nice and warm. With the pedal stabbed, the Nevera achieved a 1.44 60-foot time and went through the traps in just 8.58 seconds with a speed of 167.5 mph. It's not only quicker than previous times from the Nevera, it's a world record for a production car.

The Nevera is the type of car that will turn a non-EV believer into a full-on battery enthusiast. Nothing I’ve driven, at least not yet, comes close to what the Rimac can do in a straight line. The 10 years' worth of production to get to this point was well worth it, I’d say.

The price, of course, matches the performance. The Nevera costs 2 million euros (about $2 million at current exchange rates), and according to Rimac, the company will build 150 of them in total with this year's allotment already sold out. With the new Bugatti-Rimac partnership working in full force, one can only imagine what the next decade brings for this company – almost certainly more extremely fast vehicles, if nothing else.

The Rimac Nevera has obliterated the time set by the Tesla Model S Plaid Track Pack at the NĂĽrburgring. The Croatian carmaker just revealed that the electric hypercar has set a new production electric car lap record at the legendary racetrack, with a blistering time of 7:05:298 (7 minutes and 5.298 seconds), relegating the Tesla to second place in its category.

Around the shorter track configuration that measures 20.6 kilometers (12.8 miles) in length, the Nevera set a time of 7:00:928. Croatian racing driver Martin Kodrić drove the record-breaking lap using Michelin Cup2R tires. Independent timing data, TÜV SÜD, and on-board telemetry confirmed the set time, stated Rimac (pronounced ree-muhts).

The Tesla Model S Track Pack had set a time of 7:25.231, snatching the title from the previous record holder Porsche Taycan Turbo S. The Nevera’s time is about 20 seconds quicker than the Tesla.
