After the recent unveiling of the first completely new Bugatti in the last 20 years, the Bugatti Tourbillon, Rimac Automobili are now announcing something radical. It’s a new car that will be revealed soon, and it was announced with a photo with the description “Are You Radical? The road will never be the same.” and a short video.
Rimac Automobili removed all posts from their official Instagram profile and at the beginning of August started publishing new short videos and photos announcing something new. They even put “Are you Rebellious? Are you Radical? Are you Rimac?” in the profile description.
Speculations have begun about what kind of car it is, and some believe that it is a more radical Nevera with more power and advanced aerodynamics. This is based on the statement of Mate Rimac, who has always said that the current Nevera is more of a hyper GT than something designed with a focus on the track. Also, some believe that Rimac will present a completely new hypercar, a hybrid or something else.
The last hypercar presented by Rimac Automobili is the Nevera Time Attack. It is a racing car built for new records, and only 12 cars were produced. This car set a new fastest time of the Nürburgring Nordschleife (7:05:928), in the category of production electric cars. The driver was Croatian racer Martin Kodrić, and the car was equipped with Michelin Cup2R tires.
“In many ways the Nevera has reinvented the world of the hypercar, bringing new technologies, new abilities and new levels of performance. But the simplest way we can demonstrate its capabilities is to go out and break records. And that’s exactly what we’ve done in 2023 time and again.” said Mate Rimac after setting a new record.
Nevera Time Attack is powered by four electric motors with a total power of 1,914 hp (1,408 kW) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 1.81 seconds with the title of EV with the highest verified top speed of 256 (412 km/h). This time the top speed was limited to 219 mph (352 km/h).
