Introducing the $2.1 Million Rimac Nevera: A Simple yet Powerful Electric Hypercar
MALIBU, California – The most amazing thing about the $2.1 million Rimac Nevera is how easy it is to just get in and drive. The Nevera, an electric hypercar from Croatia, may sit low to the ground, but the doors, which lift up and out like a Lamborghini’s, allow for easy access to the driver’s seat without the fear of bumping one’s head.
While the first impression may be that operating such a powerful vehicle would be complex, the Nevera proves otherwise. Equipped with a big knob to the left of the steering wheel for shifting gears, touchscreen adjustments for the power seat, and conveniently placed switches for turn signals and headlights on the steering wheel, the Nevera is surprisingly simple to operate.
One notable feature of the Nevera is its excellent visibility. Unlike other low-slung sports cars, the Nevera offers a rear window and good side mirrors, making it easy to navigate through traffic. Additionally, the car emits just enough mechanical noise from its four electric motors to remind drivers that they are in something special, without overpowering conversations with passengers.
Mate Rimac, the founder of Rimac Automobili, had always dreamt of building an electric supercar in Croatia. After years of experimentation and securing significant investments from automakers like Hyundai and Porsche, Rimac’s dream became a reality with the creation of the Nevera. The name is inspired by the fierce summer storms that roll into Croatia from the Adriatic Sea.
The Nevera boasts impressive specifications. With four motors, a 120-kilowatt hour battery pack, and a range of about 300 miles, this electric hypercar delivers a total of 1,914 horsepower and 2,360 newton-meters of torque. It can reach a top speed of 258 miles per hour and accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 1.74 seconds.
Despite its weight of around 5,100 pounds, the Nevera’s engineering allows for exceptional handling. Each motor’s power output is adjusted 100 times per second, ensuring optimal performance during acceleration and cornering. The car’s batteries, mounted low and close to the center, contribute to its stability.
In addition to its impressive performance, the Nevera stands out with its sleek and civilized design. Made with flawless carbon fiber on the outside and comfortable leather throughout the interior, the car exudes luxury. It even pays homage to Croatia with its name and the cravat-inspired side intakes, resembling the country’s cultural heritage.
If you’re considering owning a Nevera, act quickly as Rimac plans to produce just 150 of these extraordinary hypercars. Priced at 2 million euros, or slightly over $2.1 million, the Rimac Nevera offers an unparalleled driving experience that combines simplicity with raw power and elegance.
