Rimac Nevera was the fastest at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

The Rimac Nevera is one of the most powerful and fastest cars in the world, and at the current Goodwood Festival of Speed, it set a new record on the 1.86 kilometer track.

The 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. It reaches 62 mph in just 1.97 seconds with a maximum electronically limited speed of 219 mph (352 km/h). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

Rimac Nevera achieved a time of 49.32 seconds, and it was also the only electric car. In addition to Nevera, there were also Dodge Viper GTS-R, Ferrari 488 Challenge, Ford Puma WRC, Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, McLaren M26, McLaren Solus GT, Nissan GT-R R32 and Subaru GL Family Huckster, and the fastest among them was the McLaren Solus GT, which covered the same distance in 45.34 seconds.

At the end of last year, the Nevera also became the fastest production electric car in the world when it reached a speed of 412 km/h (256 mph). Then the company said: “An incredible speed of 412 km/h is not something you do every day. When we decided to confirm this speed, we made sure we had everything we needed, a location that would give us enough space to reach speed and stop safely, the right tires that are in this case the Michelin Cup 2R, an expert to check their condition, a special Nevera aero profile that reduces the downforce at the front of the car balancing it for stability and a man on a mission to join the 400+ club, our test and development driver Miro.”
