Ferrari 458 and Rimac Nevera on the freeway chase

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.

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.
