Rimac has simply begun buyer deliveries of the Nevera this month, and the primary proprietor to take supply of the electrical hypercar is none aside from 2016 F1 world champion Nico Rosberg.

Rimac will construct solely 150 Nevera buyer automobiles, every priced from a whopping €2 million (the equal of $2,030,250 at at this time’s change price). Whereas Nico Rosberg took supply of chassis #001 painted Stellar Black, there’s additionally a Callisto Inexperienced Nevera #000 that Rimac has been utilizing for advertising and marketing and check drive functions—the final time we noticed it was on the Goodwood Competition of Pace earlier this summer season.

It appears like this specific automotive was concerned in a crash on the Pacific Coast Freeway in Santa Monica, California, on August 12, in keeping with the uploader of a video that confirmed the aftermath of the accident. 

Within the footage taken by a driver who handed by the scene and shared on TikTok, we are able to see a Yamaha motorbike with a smashed entrance finish mendacity on the asphalt behind the Rimac Nevera, which seems to have solely minor injury on the rear bumper.

Subsequent to the bike we are able to see the rider standing on his knees as he was in all probability feeling dizzy after the crash—to not point out realizing he had simply hit a $2 million hypercar. The rider’s state in all probability signifies that the video was taken instantly after affect. Fortunately, neither he nor the occupants of the Nevera have been harm.

We will hear the video’s creator telling the Nevera’s passenger that the bikers had been “driving loopy down this complete PCH,” which tells us fairly a bit concerning the circumstances of the accident. It is not unusual to see riders weave by site visitors at excessive velocity on this scenic freeway and even race one another. For sure, this harmful habits typically results in crashes.

On this case, it is fairly outstanding to see how little seen injury the Nevera sustained, which is testimony to the solidity of the the electrical hypercar’s carbon fiber monocoque chassis and bodywork.

That stated, the minor repairs required will in all probability value tens of 1000’s of {dollars}, together with delivery prices to Croatia the place the manufacturing unit and workshop are situated. We simply hope this is not one of many two Neveras that Rimac plans to point out at The Quail on August 19 and never the one that may embark on a US tour shortly after.

Whereas we completely do not condone reckless driving or driving, we do really feel for the rider a bit understanding he must inform his insurance coverage firm that he hit a $2 million automotive—assuming he’s insured, that’s. His insurance coverage premiums will undergo the roof after this.
