Rimac Automobili announce something radical and rebellious

After the recent unveiling of the first completely new Bugatti in the last 20 years, the Bugatti Tourbillon, Rimac Automobili are now announcing something radical. It’s a new car that will be revealed soon, and it was announced with a photo with the description “Are You Radical? The road will never be the same.” and a short video.

Rimac Automobili removed all posts from their official Instagram profile and at the beginning of August started publishing new short videos and photos announcing something new. They even put “Are you Rebellious? Are you Radical? Are you Rimac?” in the profile description.

Speculations have begun about what kind of car it is, and some believe that it is a more radical Nevera with more power and advanced aerodynamics. This is based on the statement of Mate Rimac, who has always said that the current Nevera is more of a hyper GT than something designed with a focus on the track. Also, some believe that Rimac will present a completely new hypercar, a hybrid or something else.

The last hypercar presented by Rimac Automobili is the Nevera Time Attack. It is a racing car built for new records, and only 12 cars were produced. This car set a new fastest time of the Nürburgring Nordschleife (7:05:928), in the category of production electric cars. The driver was Croatian racer Martin Kodrić, and the car was equipped with Michelin Cup2R tires.

“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.” said Mate Rimac after setting a new record.

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).

Rimac Nevera in the colors of the Dutch flag

The Rimac Nevera is one of the most powerful cars in the world, but also the fastest production electric car in the world with a top speed of 412 km/h (256 mph). It costs 2 million euros, and a few days ago one copy of this car was delivered to the owner in the Netherlands.

Rimac Automobili offers a wide range of body colors and the owner, Michel Perridon, decided to paint his car in a combination of Volcano Red, Polar White and Navy Blue, paying homage to the Dutch flag. The keys of the car were handed to the owner by Mate Rimac.

“I am excited to see more Nevera hitting the roads worldwide, and this particular example will surely turn heads. We’re delighted to see it in the hands of passionate enthusiasts like Michel Perridon. His ownership isn’t just about a car; it’s about being part of something groundbreaking, pushing boundaries together.”

The same color combination continues in the interior of the car. Sports seats are upholstered in a combination of Dark Blue leather and Red Alcantara with white stitching. Dark Blue leather covers the dashboard and one part of the door panel, while the steering wheel is wrapped in Red Alcantara.

Perridon was delighted with the car and the fact that the first Nevera in the Netherlands was his. “As a true Dutchman, I am immensely proud to have received the first delivery of the 2000 horsepower electric hypercar to the Netherlands. Being personally handed over this magnificent example of the Nevera by Mate Rimac himself, finished in the colors of the Dutch national flag as per my vision, is truly an honor. It’s a privilege to make history together with the Rimac team.”

Recently, Mate Rimac also received a personalized copy of his Nevera. He opted for an elegant and attractive design in burgundy color, with a black interior and red stitching. The car is decorated with several details such as the Croatian flag on the side mirrors, an embroidered silhouette of “Solinjanka” (women from the old town of Solin) in front of the driver on a dashboard covered in black Alcantara, personalized seats covered in red Alcantara with embroidered “K8” (Kate – dedicated to his wife Katarina) on the passenger and “M8” (Mait – dedicated to himself) on the driver’s seat, and a host of other emblems imported into the backrests.

Rimac Nevera set a new Guinness World Record in reverse

After setting the fastest speed in the category of electric production cars a year ago, Rimac Nevera has now set the Guinness World Record in reverse. It reached a top speed of 275.74 km/h (171.34 mph).

A video of the new Guinness World Record was published on the official RimacAutomobili YouTube channel, and was verified by Dewesoft – at the ATP proving ground in Papenburg, Germany. This was possible thanks to the fact that Nevera’s drivetrain has no gears and its four individual motors generate immense acceleration whether traveling forwards or backwards. Behind the steering wheel was test driver Goran Drndak.

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 an electronically limited top 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.

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.
