Rimac Nevera and Lamborghini Huracan in a drag race

September 1, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Rimac Nevera recently set the fastest time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife (7:05:928), in the category of production electric cars. It is an extremely powerful and fast car that many want to defeat in a one-on-one race. A tuned Lamborghini Huracan tried that too in a drag race organized by the Carwow team.

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 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). It is equipped with a lithium-manganese-nickel battery with 6,960 cells and a capacity of 120kWh.

The Lamborghini Huracan is a project of British tuner company JM Imports, powered by an improved 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine with 1,800 hp (1,324 kW) and 1,106 lb-ft (1,500 Nm) of torque. The car has a fully built engine, fully built gearbox, fuel system, drive shafts, clutches, differential, turbos, etc.

In the first 1/4 mile race, Nevera had a better start and finish, crossing the finish line first. In the second attempt, the Huracan had a better start, but the Nevera was still faster. And the third attempt was also unsuccessful for the Lamborghini Huracan. A good start, but the time of 8.7 seconds was insufficient. Rimac nevera covered the 1/4 mile in 8.5 seconds.

In the 1/2 mile race at 30 mph, the Lamborghini held on well for most of the race but still not enough to cross the finish line first. In the race at 50 mph, Nevera was much faster. In the brake test at 100mph, the Huracan finally did better.

Although we expected better results from the Lamborghini Huracan, the Rimac Nevera showed why it is one of the fastest cars in the world.

Nevera Time Attack is the king of the Nürburgring Nordschleife

August 19, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

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.

Rimac Nevera was the fastest at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

July 19, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

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.”
