Rimac has been making fairly a couple of headlines of late, and for good motive. Their newest hypercar, the all-electric Nevera, has already set an unofficial quarter-mile file, decimating a Ferrari SF90 Stradale within the course of. Now the crew that purchased us that drag race, Carwow, is again once more, with a extra in-depth evaluate of the near-2000 hp Croatian EV.
The Nevera is supplied with a 120 kWh battery, which simply occurs to be the biggest battery pack fitted to any manufacturing EV. It’s good for a spread of 340 miles (547 km) — spectacular for a supercar.
It additionally options 4 motors that may individually vector torque to every wheel, whereas through a devoted dial on the sprint, you may break up the quantity of torque you need to ship to every axle, all with a couple of clicks.
The figures of 1914 horsepower and 2360 Nm of torque can’t utterly steal the present relating to the extent of element dialed into the chassis and physique. Due to a custom-made carbon-fiber “stick of reality” gifted to reviewer Mat Watson by Mate Rimac (a gesture that goes a way in displaying how severely the corporate takes the publicity garnered by such movies), it demonstrated how nearly each vent and duct is purposeful in a roundabout way.
The Rimac’s active aero features a entrance splitter that may decrease and lift, a equally moveable diffuser to extend downforce, and an lively rear wing that doubles as an air brake.
That includes intensive carbon fiber building, which sees solely the crash constructions product of metallic, the Nevera holds the file of getting the biggest carbon fiber monocoque chassis on this planet. The chassis can also be exceptionally stiff, exhibiting rigidity of practically double that discovered on a LeMans racecar.
It’s not what you’d name mild, nevertheless. At 2,150 kg (4,740 lbs.), the Rimac is a little bit of porker. For comparability’s sake, the Buggati Chiron is a few 155 kg (340 lbs.) lighter.
However even being a heavyweight, it’s a champion by way of velocity. The Rimac Nevera can rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in a claimed 1.85 seconds, with Watson setting a time of two.2 seconds on this video. And, eager to show the Rimac isn’t all in regards to the straight-line, you even get a tire-torturing drift mode, which Watson is all too glad to reveal.
