The 1914hp Rimac Nevara is the fastest accelerating hypercar!

The Croatian supercar manufacturer, Rimac Automobili, has started the production of its 1914hp Rimac C Two. However, Rimac has renamed the C Two as ‘Nevara’ as production commences. 

Powering the Rimac Nevara is a set of four motors, these four motors individually power each wheel for maximum traction and efficient power management.

Unlike most electric cars, the four motors used for propulsion are different for each ‘axle’. The motors powering the front wheels individually produce 250kW and 280Nm of torque for a combined output of 500Kw and 560Nm of torque, while the rear motors together produce a whopping 900kW and 1800Nm of torque.

This rear-biased powertrain makes the Rimac Nevara feel almost rear-wheel drive while providing the safety net of an all-wheel-drive car when you need it. There are also two sets of the single-speed gearbox at each axle for maximizing the efficiency of the electric motors.

Despite being a young supercar manufacturer and lacking experience, Rimac Automobili has made the Nevara to challenge cars like the Bugatti Chiron. The Croatian built Rimac Nevara takes just 1.97 seconds to hit 100kmph from a standstill and onto a top speed of 412kmph, making it the fastest accelerating car in the world. 

The party piece of the Rimac Nevara is the 0-300kmph and quarter-mile runs, completing in 9.3 seconds and 8.2 seconds respectively, with a trap speed of over 276kmph in the quarter-mile run.

Supplying power to the four motors is a 120kWh lithium-manganese-nickel battery pack with a max output of 1.2MW. Rimac Automobili claims this battery can be charged to 80% of its maximum capacity in just 22 minutes using a 500kW DC fast charger.

Unlike some Italian supercars with bare basic interiors, the interiors on Rimac Nevara is actually beautifully crafted with leather and carbon fibre all around. Even though Rimac Nevara uses two large screens, it never overwhelms the interior. It is also quite smart while managing the air around its body with electrically controlled underbody flaps and, a rear wing that can divert the air for both cooling and downforce. 

Equipment-wise, the Rimac Nevara comes with 13 cameras,6 radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors all around to make provision for all types of autonomous driving tech and active safety systems.

Only 150 units of Rimac Nevara will be made as per the manufacturer, and it will all be made alongside the Pininfarina Battista at the Croatian manufacturer’s facility.
