Rimac Nevera and Lamborghini Huracan in a drag race

Rimac Nevera recently set the fastest time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife (7:05:928), in the category of production electric cars. It is an extremely powerful and fast car that many want to defeat in a one-on-one race. A tuned Lamborghini Huracan tried that too in a drag race organized by the Carwow team.

Rimac Nevera 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). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante with 7k miles for sale

The Lamborghini Huracan is a project of British tuner company JM Imports, powered by an improved 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine with 1,800 hp (1,324 kW) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) of torque. The car has a fully built engine, fully built gearbox, fuel system, drive shafts, clutches, differential, turbos, etc.

In the first 1/4 mile race, Nevera had a better start and finish, crossing the finish line first. In the second attempt, the Huracan had a better start, but the Nevera was still faster. And the third attempt was also unsuccessful for the Lamborghini Huracan. A good start, but the time of 8.7 seconds was insufficient. Rimac nevera covered the 1/4 mile in 8.5 seconds.

In the 1/2 mile race at 30 mph, the Lamborghini held on well for most of the race but still not enough to cross the finish line first. In the race at 50 mph, Nevera was much faster. In the brake test at 100mph, the Huracan finally did better.

Although we expected better results from the Lamborghini Huracan, the Rimac Nevera showed why it is one of the fastest cars in the world.
