The NEW $2.4M - 2,000 HP Rimac Nevera Electric Hypercar | Quick 4K Walkaround

Rimac Nevera 1,914 HP Electric Hypercar Sunset GT Rimac Concept One Monterey Car Week 2021 Welcome back everyone! Today we have a quick 4K walkaround the all NEW $2.4M Rimac Nevera! More information on the Nevera from Car and Driver. Article and credit to Ben OIiver: "It shouldn't be this easy to beat a Bugatti Chiron Sport in the quarter-mile. This level of acceleration should require more driver skill, some rare manual dexterity lacking in Joe Commuter. Admittedly, it's pretty easy to do a full-bore standing-start launch in a Chiron or any gas car that shifts gears for you. But the electric Rimac Nevera's acceleration and its physiological impact on you are so extraordinary that you feel it shouldn't be accessible to anyone able to afford the $2,400,000 price and brave enough to hold the accelerator down. You do need bravery. Scary is often synonymous with fast, but the Nevera, the Croatian carmaker's latest creation, is unnerving. Find a long straight and bring the car to a stop. Select Track mode from the closer of the two big in-house CNC-milled rotary switches that control the major driving functions, and maximum torque will flow through the four electric motors. Hold the brake, push the right pedal all the way in, and the back of the car squats as the rear motors flex on the suspension. Take a breath and then let go. It's not too brutal at first. Doling out twice the power of a modern Formula 1 car all at once isn't possible, so the initial rollout is gentle compared to what happens later. In those first few tenths, the Nevera precisely matches motor output to available grip. But then the unnerving part starts as the rate of acceleration begins to increase with speed. The Nevera gets quicker as it's going faster. Your breathing changes, becoming a slightly panicked eight-second inhalation. The fluid in your eyeballs seems to ripple, distorting your vision. The noise is intense: Four motors scream and whine as 1.4 megawatts—that's 1914 horsepower—pump through them, and four tires rip at the tarmac, constantly on the edge of grip. It takes a very conscious effort to keep your foot in until the quarter-mile marker passes and you can finally exhale, use an expletive, let your head slump forward, and shake in the wake of the adrenaline. To make matters slightly more stressful, Rimac founder and head honcho Mate Rimac came along to watch the proceedings and the Nevera is a pre-production prototype and particularly important to his business. We're also taken by the fact that this one car represents a major percentage of Croatia's entire car production this year. There will be plenty more, though. Named for an electrical storm that occasionally ravages the Croat coast, 150 Neveras will be produced, and the first 50 are already sold. After a few runs, Rimac himself showed me the onboard telemetry that will be available to customers. With no effort, the car did an indicated 8.7-second quarter-mile at 160 mph. Once the launch control is finalized, Mate promises 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, 100 in 4.3, and the standing quarter-mile in 8.6 seconds. In C/D testing, the Chiron Sport hit 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, 100 in 4.4, and passed the quarter-mile in 9.4 seconds at 158 mph. So other than terror and what could be the quickest car in the world, what do you get for nearly 2.5 million bucks? Quite a lot, actually. Unlike many small-batch manufacturers, a lot of the Nevera is designed and made in-house. Rimac claims the Nevera's carbon-fiber monocoque is the largest and stiffest of any car, deflecting at 70,000 newton-meters per degree. It has four motors, one for each wheel and each with its own single-speed gearbox. In front, each motor makes 295 horsepower, and the rear gets two 644-hp motors. The system totals of 1400 kW or 1877 horsepower and 1741 pound-feet of torque. The Brembo-supplied 15.4-inch carbon-ceramic brake rotors work in conjunction with up to 300 kW of regen to slow the car. The key-shaped 120.0-kWh battery (that's gross capacity; we usually report usable capacity, but Rimac hasn't finalized that spec) is mostly behind the seats but also under them and down the center tunnel. Rimac promises it'll be able to charge at up to 500 kW when that becomes possible; at a 350-kW hookup, it will go from 20 to 80 percent in 18 minutes. The bodywork is all carbon fiber, and some of it moves with an active aero package so smart it can even create the optimum plume of tire smoke behind you in drift mode. On a track, the onboard Driver Coach uses artificial intelligence to figure out the best line, give you a demo, and then tell you where to brake and turn in. #Rimac #Nevera #EV #RimacNevera #SunsetGT #MontereyCarWeek #MontereyCarWeek2021 #SunsetGT2021 #ElectricCars #Hypercars #EVCars #RimacConceptOne #RimacNevera #MannyKhoshbin #Supercarblondie #RimacNeveraHypercar #RimacNevera #Tesla #TeslaPlaid #TeslaModelPlaid #Supercars #SportsCars #Bugatti #BugattiChiron #Lamborghini #Ferrari #McLaren
