The Stunning Truth About The Rimac Nevera Hypercar

The Rimac Nevera may not be as flashy or pompous as its peers, an exclusive lineup that includes the Pininfarina Battista, Lotus Evija, and the incoming Tesla Roadster. Taking its name from a fierce lightning storm that hits the Mediterranean without warning, the Nevera is a hotbed of in-house developed technology that the company outsources to legacy automakers like Audi, Lamborghini, and Porsche.

Rimac took control of Bugatti when Volkswagen suggested a merger after initially pondering about shutting down the French hypercar maker for good. According to Popular Science, Rimac proposed to build a new hybrid hypercar for VW, which would be less than the potential cost of updating Bugatti’s existing architecture. The rest is history, and Mate Rimac is now the CEO of Bugatti Rimac.

This newest wave of success had everything to do with the Nevera, a conquering, all-electric hypercar that puts all wagging tongues to rest. It costs a whopping $2 million and has four 450-kW electric motors drawing power from a 120-kW battery pack. The proprietary powertrain develops 1,914 horsepower and 1,725 lb-ft of torque — crazy numbers for a production car.
