Drag races have always been a treat for car enthusiasts, but when three supercars hit the highway, a spectacle is guaranteed. Such was the case in the race between the Ferrari 458, Rimac Nevera and Acura NSX.

A few days ago, the video “Ferrari 458 Embarrassed by Rimac Nevera” was posted on YouTube, showing the Ferrari driver spotting the Nevera on the highway, and the chase began. The Acura NSX also joined the chase, but unfortunately for both cars, the chase did not end well. The incredible start that the Nevera has was too much for the other two super cars.

The creator of the video said: “We came across a Rimac Nevera that absolutely destroyed the 458 and the NSX that were trying to catch up with it. A beautiful car with impressive performance. We hope to see more of them on the roads,” said the creator of the video.

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 reached a charging power of 333 kW

The Ferrari 458 is powered by a 4.5L Naturally Aspirated V8 engine with 562 hp (413 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed Getrag dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).

The Acura NSX is powered by a 3.5L JNC twin-turbo V6 engine combined with three electric motors with a total power of 573 hp (427 kW) and 476 lb-ft (645 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed dual-clutch transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h).

Recently, an incredible story was published on Facebook about a car that spent many years under water, and now it will get a second chance. It is an Acura NSX that looks like it came from an apocalyptic movie, and it was bought for $8,500. It could be an exciting project for a new owner.

The story goes that the car was allegedly stolen and under unknown circumstances ended up in the Yadkin River in North Carolina in the early 2000s. No one knew about it until 2019, when a search for missing persons was launched, and the car was accidentally spotted. It was pulled out of the river, and now awaits a better life.

The restoration of the car will be done by Helix Auto Works, Maryland, which has a very demanding task ahead of it. 15 years under water is not a short period of time, so the damage to the car is quite large. Still, Helix Auto Works hopes to bring the NSX back to life.

The company has set two goals, the first is to make the car road legal, but if they fail to do so, the only option left is to prepare it for use on the track.

What will happen in the end doesn’t even matter, because every car deserves a second chance.
