Croatia may not be a typical actor on the sports car world stage—well, minus Croatian-American Nikola Tesla, that is—but that hasn’t stopped Rimac from channeling the stunning beauty and sharp cliffside curves of the Dalmatian Coast into a buzzworthy new hypercar.
Named after a quick, sudden, and mighty Mediterranean storm system, the Nevera promises speed, power, and agility akin to this deft force of nature. It’s currently delivering on them, too, by putting up stats like 0–60 mph in 1.74 seconds, 0–180mph in 9.22 seconds, a top speed of 258 mph, and as much as 1,813 hp.
An embodiment of the Rimac philosophy—combining unparalleled performance with real-time technological intelligence—the Nevera is electrically powered and driven by the latest in advanced technology innovation. While the car is impressive in its dedication to sustainability alone, its highly intelligent and engaging technological prowess is where it really shines. From a driver coach that gives real-time audio and visual instructions (to help perfect your performance and optimize your driving style) to All-Wheel Torque Vectoring that calculates the precise level of torque to channel through the motor of each wheel (for ultimate control and agility), the car is built to be both amazingly smart and incredibly fun. It’s no surprise that the entire connectivity system puts driver customization and comfort at the heart of the experience, too.
The Nevera’s precision and intentionality also defines its engineering. Shaped by airflow and Rimac’s signature “necktie” flank design—a longstanding symbol of Croatian strength—the form of the car follows its function. The car quite literally shape-shifts its bonnets, flaps, vents, wings, and front splitter to accommodate the drag, downforce, speed, and breaking needs of its different driving modes.
In spite of being built for everyday driving, starting at 2.2 million USD and limited to only 150 units, the Nevera isn’t likely to be an easily accessible car. So the only question is: Is it going to be your goalpost or your touchdown?
