The electrical, 1,914-horsepower Rimac Nevera has accelerated its option to the e book of data. The limited-edition coupe reached 258 miles per hour (roughly 412 kilometers per hour) on a check monitor in Germany and have become the quickest manufacturing electric car on this planet.
Croatia-based Rimac bumped into the identical concern as Bugatti, Koenigsegg, SSC, and different firms who need to discover a automobile’s higher restrict. Discovering a monitor appropriate to drive at jaw-dropping speeds is simpler stated than achieved. The agency selected the Automotive Testing Papenburg monitor within the north of Germany, close to the border with Holland. It is an oval circuit with a pair of two.5-mile straights which can be excellent for prime speeds.
Rimac dialed within the Nevera’s top-speed mode, which strikes a stability between minimal drag and most downforce, and it notes the record-breaking automobile wore street-legal Michelin Cup 2R tires. Miro Zrnčević, Rimac’s chief check and improvement officer, set the report. Whereas the corporate was thrilled with the end result, 258 mph is precisely the velocity that it anticipated to achieve when it began growing the Nevera.
“A very powerful factor I’ve discovered throughout the top-speed try is how composed and steady the automobile was — confirming that our aerodynamics and automobile dynamics group have achieved a tremendous job,” Zrnčević stated in an announcement.
Rimac has began delivering the Nevera, however do not anticipate to see one fly by at 250-plus mph on the German autobahn. The automobile’s high velocity is electronically restricted to 219 mph (352 kph), although house owners will be capable of unlock its full potential at particular occasions organized by the corporate.
This is not the primary time the Nevera has made headlines with velocity: It ran an 8.583-second quarter-mile at 167.51 mph in August 2021.
