Rimac Nevera Electric Hypercar Unveiled

After a long wait, Rimac Automobili has finally unveiled the Nevera, an all-electric, hypercar which has been designed and engineered to surpass anyone's expectation of an electric car. The Nevera is the production-ready iteration of the Rimac C_Two concept car, which was revealed at the International Geneva Motor Show in 2018. Since then, Rimac's engineers have refined the new flagship car. The Nevera was developed in-house at Rimac's headquarters in Croatia and only 150 examples of the car will be made.

Underlining his own commitment to the project, Mate Rimac will personally test and sign off each of the Neveras, before they are delivered to customers from the company's current production site on the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia.

Rimac has made heavy use of carbon fibre in the construction of the Nevera Electric Hypercar

Nevera's monocoque construction includes a bonded carbon roof, integrated structural battery pack and rear carbon subframe, is forming the largest single carbon fibre piece in the entire automotive industry. Weighing less than 200 kg and utilising 2200 carbon fibre plys and 222 aluminium inserts, the monocoque encases the car's battery to form a compact yet incredibly strong structure with a torsional stiffness of 70.000 Nm/degree.

The Lithium/Manganese/Nickel battery is an integral part of the Rimac Nevera Electric Hypercar

The unique H-shaped, liquid-cooled, 120kWh, 6960-cell battery was designed from scratch by Rimac and sits at the heart of the Nevera. Capable of producing 1.4MW of power, the Lithium/Manganese/Nickel battery also forms an integral part of the car's core, adding 37 per cent structural stiffness to the carbon fibre monocoque. The battery's optimum positioning low and central within the car's floor contributes to an ultra-low centre of gravity. This helps create a 48/52 front/rear weight distribution.

The Rimac Nevera comes with 4 permanent magnet motors, each of them driving one of the four wheels individually

Four bespoke surface-mounted permanent magnet motors drive the Nevera's four wheels individually. Together, they enable 1914 horsepower and 2360 Nm of torque, which is triple the output of a 'conventional-engined' supercar. The front and rear wheels are each connected to a pair of single-speed gearboxes.

With the ability to sprint to 96.5 kmph in 1.85 seconds and continue the acceleration all the way to a 412 kmph which is its top speed, the Nevera opens up a new dimension in hypercar performance. Accelerating from rest to 161 kmph requires just 4.3 seconds and it maintains acceleration throughout a full-throttle cycle, achieving 300 kmph from rest in 9.3 seconds, shredding a whole 2.5 seconds from the initial targets.

The Nevera's R-AWTV 2 system enables infinitely variable dynamic responses to road and track conditions by calibrating the amount of torque supplied to each wheel

Rimac's All-Wheel Torque Vectoring 2 (R-AWTV 2) system replaces traditional Electronic Stability Program and Traction Control systems to further bolster grip and traction. Meanwhile, the Nevera's R-AWTV 2 system enables infinitely variable dynamic responses to road and track conditions by calibrating the amount of torque supplied to each wheel. R-AWTV 2 calculates the precise level of torque to channel through each wheel for ultimate stability and exceptional agility. Both predictive and responsive, R-AWTV reads the road and makes over 100 calculations per second to tailor the level of torque to achieve the desired driving style.
