The Rimac Nevera is one of the most powerful and fastest cars in the world. This Croatian car manufacturer recently presented a new version of this supercar, the Nevera Time Attack, a racing car built for new records.
The car was unveiled at The Quail Motorsports Gathering and only 12 units will be built. The new fastest time of the Nürburgring Nordschleife (7:05:928), in the category of production electric cars, showed what kind of car it was. The driver was Croatian racer Martin Kodrić, and the car was equipped with Michelin Cup2R tires.
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).
“We had challenging weather conditions during our practice sessions this week and have chosen what seems like one of the hottest days on the track this summer to set a lap time. However, a 7:05:298 lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife is commendable. The fact that the Nevera can achieve this kind of speed on the track, when it’s been developed to be a comfortable hyper GT for the road, is what makes it so special. It’s such a well-rounded piece of engineering and design; gentle and usable in the city, thrilling to drive on twisting B-roads, comfortable over long distances and devastatingly fast on a race track,” said Kodrić.
“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. The Nevera Time Attack is a Limited Edition that celebrates the achievements of the past year, wearing a bespoke livery inspired by the car that set each of them. Built in a series of 12, each has already been spoken for by our customers eager to capture their very own part of performance car history. And it’s only August, too, so there’s plenty of time for more records to be broken…” said Mate Rimac.
This record is only one of over 20 that Nevera broke this year. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Nevera set a new record on the 1.86 kilometer track with a time of 49.32 seconds.
