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.
