Rimac is known for its ability to establish amazing automobile world records. The Croatian company is always pushing the limits and breaking records. It is best known for their hypercar, the Nevera. But the Nevera just completed a new milestone, and this time, it achieved something in a way that was very different from its earlier successes. Let's examine this most recent achievement in more depth.
The New Reverse Record from Nevera:
A new record was recently set by the Rimac Nevera. It's special in that it allows you to drive at top speed—in reverse!
Where and How to Drive:
The run that smashed the record took place at the German facility Automotive Testing Papenburg. Goran Drndak, a test driver for Rimac, drove this remarkable accomplishment. For clarity, this method expands the article's main ideas.
Impressive Performance:
Driving in reverse, the four-motor electrically powered Rimac Nevera reached an amazing high speed of 275.74 km/h. Amazingly, this reversing speed is nearly the same as the highest speed of the 1967 Lamborghini Miura, which was highlighted by its powerful V12 engine.
Electrical Gears and Motors:
Rimac credits the absence of gears in electric motors as an advantage for this amazing achievement. The Nevera is able to accelerate or stop with the same force thanks to its gearless its construction. The Nevera really releases some highly terrifying songs. With four electric motors generating a remarkable 1914 PS and 2360 Nm, it is propelled. With a strong pedal, it can reach a highest speed of 402 mph in just 9.22 seconds and go from 0 to 100 mph in just 1.81 seconds. All of this is supported by a 120kWh battery pack, which assures you have sufficient power to complete such records.
Rimac really holds more than 20 Guinness records, all of which the Nevera was able to destroy. Just goes on showing the electric hypercar's incredible potential. Other high-performance electric vehicles, such the Pinifarina Battista, are adversaries of the Nevera. The new generation of electric hypercars, including the Rimac Nevera, is breaking milestones. This time, it smashed the previous record of 102.58 mph held for 22 years by a Caterham 7 Fireblade, and set a new Guinness World Record for the highest speed in reverse, reaching an amazing 171.34 mph.
This achievement illustrates Rimac's ability to have fun while breaking records and is both incredible and hilarious. Particularly the 'Time Attack Edition,' the Nevera revealed its extraordinary powers. At the Automotive Testing Papenburg facility in Germany, where the Nevera had previously set over 20 records for acceleration and braking in a single day, including a remarkable high speed of 256 mph, the record-breaking event took place. With the potential to make further sideways speed attempts in the future, Rimac's quest for singular records appears to be far from ended.
The Nevera's main program engineer, Matija Renic, stated that during the car's development, they had the amusing idea that it might be the most rapid car in reverse in the entire globe. Since the car's building construction was not intended for high-speed reverse travel, it was all in good fun. Its stability, cooling, and aerodynamics hadn't been designed with that in mind. But they were encouraged by the thought of trying it. According to simulations, it was feasible to reach speeds well above 150 mph. The true test was maintaining stability throughout this unprecedented achievement—a domain they had never explored before. Test driver Goran Drndak summarized the event, highlighting the unique feeling of switching backward and experiencing the landscape go by while suffering a force on the neck equal to intense braking. This one-of-a-kind project brought combining the excitement of adventure and engineering.
You're manipulating the steering wheel very carefully when going in reverse at a high speed to prevent the car's a state of equilibrium from being flung off. You closely track your speed and use the rearview mirror for determining your course and stopping spot. In terms of speed, early this year, Rimac—which also owns a majority ownership in Bugatti—achieved another amazing performance. At the Nürburgring, the Nevera set a lap record for electric cars with a time of seven minutes and five seconds. That is eight seconds faster than a Porsche 918 Spyder, to put things into a context. Fantastic isn't that right?
Another amazing characteristic of the Nevera's single-gear layout is its ability to accelerate from 0 to 200 mph in less than 11 seconds. This comes out to a very fast quarter-mile time of 8.25 seconds, according to Rimac. It's so quick that it might pose a threat to "Fast & Furious" star Dominic Toretto and his renowned Dodge Charger. The Nevera practically appears like it could time travel back to 2001 and give even those fast movie cars a run for their money, contemplating its incredible reverse-speed achievement. The Nevera remains unusual among hypercars thanks to its exceptional performance capabilities.
