Rimac has set new world records with the all-electric Nevera hypercar. At a test track in Germany, the Croatian hypercar set 23 acceleration and braking records on the same day. These new speed records even bettered the ones set by Autocar India with the Pininfarina Battista back in February.

Rimac Nevera EV price, powertrain, battery and range
The Rimac Nevera costs €2 million (Rs 17.84 crore) and uses four motors, one for each wheel, to provide the electric hypercar with 1,914hp and 2,369Nm of torque. The Nevera comes with a 120kWh battery pack, which gives it a WLTP-rated range of 490km. An onboard Nvidia supercomputer calculates the torque sent to each wheel about 100 times a second.
