Croatian automotive manufacturer Rimac Automobili recently unveiled its latest electric hypercar – the Nevera R – at the Monterey Car Week. It improves upon several aspects of the Nevera which was already billed the world's fastest production-spec electric vehicle (EV), capable of accelerating from 0-100 kilometres per hour (kmph) in just 1.81 seconds. While both these EVs may have similar body architecture and design elements, the new Rimac Nevera R gets chassis advancements, torque-vectoring innovations and more power – all of which contribute to the electric hypercar in achieving unprecedented acceleration times.
Here's all you need to know about Rimac's latest hypercar.
Rimac Nevera R Price
With extremely limited production numbers even by the automotive company's standards, the Rimac Nevera R is priced at about $2.5 million (roughly Rs. 21 crore). This makes the Nevera R equally expensive as the standard Nevera which debuted in August 21 with a planned production of 150 units.
Rimac says it has already begun taking pre-orders of the Nevera R and with just 40 units of the electric hypercar to be produced, it is sure to get snapped up pretty quickly.
Rimac Nevera R Performance, Powertrain and Battery
Rimac Nevera R is powered by quad permanent-magnet electric motors – one powering each wheel – capable of producing a total output of 2,107 horsepower (hp), an upgrade of 193 hp over the Nevera. With this sheer electric power, the electric hypercar is capable of accelerating from 0-100 kmph in 1.81 seconds, 0-200 kmph in 4.38 seconds, and 0-300 kmph in just 8.66 seconds – numbers that place it alongside some of the fastest production-spec hypercars in the world.
It also becomes only the second track car to cross the 2,000 hp threshold, following the introduction of the 2,300 hp Koenigsegg Gemera.
