At the beginning of August, Rimac Automobili removed all posts from their official Instagram profile and started publishing new short videos and photos announcing something new, radical, rebellious and relentless. It is a new version of their supercar, the Nevera R.
This extreme version of Nevera is more powerful and aerodynamic than ever. It is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 2,107 hp (1,571 kW), which is enough to push the car to 100 km/h in 1.81 seconds and 200 km/h in 4.38 seconds. Rimac claims that the Nevera R needs only 8.23 seconds for the 1/4 mile (402 meters), while it reaches 300 km/h in 8.66 seconds. It is equipped with a new 108 kWh battery and can reach a top speed of 350 km/h (412 km/h with manufacturer supervision).
Speaking about the Nevera R, Mate Rimac said that they were developing a car with the characteristics of a Grand Tourer, which would be spacious, comfortable and finely balanced between exciting and radical. He also pointed out that the team is constantly adapting to the wishes of customers, because many were looking for a car that would really highlight Nevera’s ability to drive, using all the advanced technology, which they finally succeeded with this car.
Thanks to the large rear spoiler, the improvement of which depends on the new diffuser, the total downforce on the Nevera R is increased by 15 percent compared to the previous model. Also, the aerodynamics of the electric beast have been improved by 10 percent, according to Rimac Automobili. The interior of the Nevera, which is focused on the driver and extremely adaptable, has been added with new color options and adjustments according to the customer’s wishes. The color on the carbon elements, such as the basic structure of the control panel and the decoration on the center console, can be identical to the color of the exterior or changed according to the wishes of the customer.
Unlike its predecessor, the Nevera R is finished in Nebula Green and is equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, which with ceramic EVO2 brakes, with a layer of special silicone coating, enable better performance and durability. Also, the transmission of torque to all wheels has been revised, in order to take advantage of tires that have better grip, which enables more precise entry into turns, the Drift driving mode has been calibrated, and the steering has been revised for better steering feel and throttle response. Rimac claims that the R utilizes the greater potential of each element related to agility and handling.
The company’s plan is to produce 40 units of the Nevera R with a starting price of 2.3 million euros (around $3.47 million).
