Rimac Nevera sets world record for 275 kmph reverse speed

ABU DHABI: Rimac's electric Nevera hypercar has broken all the previous world records by achieving the fastest speed in reverse. This achievement highlights the flexibility of the electric motor, showcasing its ability to perform well in backward and forward motions. The hypercar achieved the record in reverse at the Automotive Testing Papenburg facility in Germany. This is the same location where the Nevera broke 23 world records in May in a single day.

    Rimac's test driver, Goran Drndak, achieved a milestone by driving the Nevera in reverse. This was only possible because Nevara does not have gears. The electric hypercar's 3600 Nm of torque and 1,914 horsepower were demonstrated during this stunt.

    Like the previous record breakers, Nevera sported black and green Time Attack Edition livery. Twelve of these unique editions are available for purchase.

    Despite this reverse speed record, it's important to remember that the Nevera and its aerodynamics and cooling system weren't designed originally for high-speed reverse manoeuvres. As per Rimac, simulations showed Nevera could achieve approximately 150 mph, but beyond that, it was impossible.

    In addition to the high-speed reverse record, the Nevera has achieved a standing-mile time (20.59 seconds), a 0-100-0 kmph time, a 0-60 mph time, and a quarter-mile time (8.25 seconds) production-car records. 

    The Rimac Nevera is priced at €2 million and features four motors delivering 1,914 hp and 2,369 Nm of torque. Nevera also boasts a 120kWh battery pack, generating a 490 km WLTP-rated range. It uses an advanced Nvidia supercomputer to distribute real-time torque to each wheel.
