The Rimac Nevera is widely recognized for its exceptional speed, fully electric powertrain, and limited production. But did you know that it features a specialized ‘top speed’ driving mode? This mode optimizes the car’s aerodynamics to strike the perfect balance between drag and downforce. This balance is crucial for maintaining stability at extreme speeds while minimizing drag to achieve the highest velocity possible. As explained by Miro, Rimac’s Chief Test and Development Driver, in the following video: “When traveling at speeds of 360 km/h, you cover the distance of an entire football field every second” And the Nevera can go even faster, significantly faster.
Rimac decided to put the Nevera through its paces in Germany to assess its top speed capabilities. This testing did not take place on the famed Nürburgring, which is synonymous with setting records. Rather, the goal was to push the limits of the fastest electric vehicle in the world. Fitted with exceptional Michelin Cup 2R tires and under the watchful eye of a Michelin technician, Miro took the wheel and pushed the car to the edge on a 4km track featuring challenging curves to achieve maximum velocity. Watch the video below to witness the Rimac Nevera surging to nearly a third of the speed of sound – a breathtaking 412 km/h (256 mph):
