Rimac Nevera Obliterates 23 Speed And Acceleration Records

Rimac Automobili has smashed a staggering 23 records with the all-electric Nevera. The 1,914 horsepower hypercar officially holds the record for the fastest-ever 0-249-0 mph sprint, completed in a mere 29.93 seconds - more than a second quicker than the previous record holder.

That's impressive enough, but the battery-powered Nevera also shattered 23 additional speed records, all verified by two independent parties, RaceLogic and Dewesoft. Rimac says these achievements took place at the Testing Papenburg (ATP) facility in Germany, where the car performed flawlessly and showed no signs of reliability issues or performance losses.

The Nevera exceeded all expectations and even bested its claimed 0 - 60 mph time of 1.85 seconds. The latest test runs achieved a 0 - 60 mph sprint time of 1.74 seconds, which makes the Rimac even faster than the Pininfarina Battista, which has held the record since November.

Founder and CEO of Rimac Automobili, Mate Rimac, couldn't be prouder of the Nevera. "Growing up, I always looked at the cars that made history, moving the bar for performance, in awe of the kind of revolutionary technology they brought to the road. That is what is driving me from day one - to develop new technology that redefines what is possible," he said.

"Today, I am proud to say that the car we've created can get to 400km/h and back to 0 in less time than it took the McLaren F1 to accelerate up to 350km/h. And not only that, but it can do it again and again, breaking every other performance record in the process. If you had a Nevera and access to a track, you could do it too," added Rimac.

Rimac notes that all acceleration records were conducted with a one-foot rollout. Rather impressively, the record-breaking Nevera achieved all 23 accolades on non-prepped asphalt with road-legal Michelin Cup 2 R tires.
