FYI: Rimac Automobili has unveiled a striking addition to the Nevera lineup—the Nevera R, a hyper sports car that takes the brand’s unconventional spirit to a new level.
Rimac Automobili revs up the excitement with the latest addition to its Nevera series: the Nevera R. Unveiled as the aggressive sibling to the original Nevera, the R variant redefines what it means to be a hyper sports car, drawing from Rimac’s core philosophy—radical, rebellious, relentless.
Unparalleled Power and Performance
The Nevera R is an engineering marvel equipped with next-generation Rimac All-Wheel Torque Vectoring and advanced braking systems, making it exceptionally nimble around corners. With a staggering 2,107 horsepower, this beast surpasses even the record-breaking straight-line performance of its predecessor, hitting 300 km/h (186 mph) in a mere 8.66 seconds.
Aesthetic Masterpiece
The Nevera R isn’t just about performance; it’s a visual spectacle. The car boasts a forward-thrusting stance accentuated by 21-inch rear wheels and 20-inch front wheels. Horizontal lines across the front emphasize aerodynamic efficiency, stance, and width. This perfect blend of sensual surfaces and precise graphics results in both aesthetic beauty and functional design.
An Iterative Process of Perfection
"When we developed the Nevera, it was meant to be a Grand Tourer—spacious, comfortable, and balanced. However, our customers desired a car that maximized its cornering abilities. Hence, the Nevera R was born," said Mate Rimac, Founder and CEO of Rimac Group.
Cutting-Edge Technologies and Features
Enhanced Driving Dynamics
The Nevera R offers sharper, tighter cornering thanks to its refined R-AWTV system tailored to high-performance tires. Its increased downforce not only provides greater stability but also enhances lateral performance, making it ideal for twisty roads and track days.
Superior Aerodynamics
With a large fixed rear wing and a comprehensive aero package—including a new large diffuser—the Nevera R improves downforce by 15% and aerodynamic efficiency by 10%. Furthermore, new Michelin Cup 2 tires boost total understeer reduction by 10%, while a 5% increase in lateral grip yields a lap time reduced by 3.8 seconds on the Nardo Handling Track.
Unmatched Specifications
Built around Rimac’s next-generation 108kWh battery pack, the Nevera R is speed incarnate. The car features newly introduced EVO2 brakes designed to enhance stopping performance and durability.
Here are the stunning performance numbers:
- Top Speed: 412 km/h (256 mph) with manufacturer oversight
- 0-60 mph: 1.74s
- 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph): 1.81s
- 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph): 4.38s
- 100-200 km/h (62-124 mph): 2.46s
- 0-300 km/h (0-186 mph): 8.66s
- 1/4 mile: 8.23s
Limited and Luxurious
Only 40 units of the Nevera R will be produced, making it an exclusive piece of automotive history. The vehicle debuts in a Nebula green color, symbolizing Rimac’s evolving legacy. The interior is customizable with new color and trim options, and the carbon features can match the vehicle’s exterior.
