Founded in 2009 and famous for turning the 1984 model M3, one of BMW’s most famous cars, into an electric racing machine, Rimac was bought by Bugatti, which produces the fastest cars in the world, last year. If you remember, Nevera, produced by the brand, won the title of the fastest car in the world last year.
Rimac, who later lost this record to the Tesla Roadster, once again proved that he is the king of electric cars with the updated Nevera.
He broke the world record with 412 km/h
The speed lock of this wheeled monster, which has 1914 horsepower and 2360 Nm of torque with 4 electric motors, has been lifted just to break this record. These speed locks, which are usually put by automobile manufacturers, were set by calculating the optimum speed in order not to damage the engines and other equipment of my vehicles.
Literally unshackled, Nevera shows off her skills on the test track in Papenburg, Germany. The vehicle, driven by Bugatti Rimac’s test driver Miro Zrnčević, broke the world record with a speed of 412 km/h. Proving that it is the fastest electric car in the world with this record, Nevera took the 10th place in the list of the fastest cars in the world, surpassing the SSC Ultimate Aero. Of course, let’s also mention that the other cars on the list are internal combustion or hybrid.
