The wait is over. Three years after the show at the Geneva Motor Show, we finally got to know the production version of the Rimac C_Two: here is the “all powerful” Nevera, a “hyper electric” with more than 1900 hp.
Named after the strong and sudden storms that occur off the Croatian coast, Nevera will have a production limited to just 150 copies, each with a base price of 2 million euros.
The general shape of the C_Two we already knew was maintained, but some modifications were made to the diffusers, air intakes and some body panels, which allowed an improvement in the aerodynamic coefficient by 34% compared to the first prototypes.
The lower section and some body panels, such as the hood, rear diffuser and spoiler, can move independently according to the air flow. In this way, Nevera can take on two modes: “high downforce”, which increases the downforce by 326%; and “low drag”, which improves aerodynamic efficiency by 17.5%.
Inside: Hypercar or Grand Tourer?
Despite its aggressive image and impressive performance, the Croatian manufacturer — which has a 24% share of Porsche — guarantees that this Nevera is as much a hypercar focused on sporting use on track as it is a Grand Tourer ideal for longer runs. .
For this, Rimac has focused much of its attention on the Nevera's cabin, which despite having a very minimalist design, manages to be very welcoming and convey a huge sense of quality.
The circular controls and aluminum switches have an almost analogue feel, while three high-definition screens — digital dashboard, central multimedia screen and a screen in front of the “hang” seat — remind us that this is a proposal with state-of-the-art technology.
Thanks to this, it is possible to access telemetry data in real time, which can then be downloaded to the smartphone or computer.
Carbon fiber monocoque chassis
At the base of this Rimac Nevera we find a carbon fiber monocoque chassis that was built to enclose the battery — in an “H” shape, which was designed from the ground up by the Croatian brand.
This integration made it possible to increase the structural rigidity of this monocoque by 37%, and according to Rimac, this is the largest single-piece carbon fiber structure in the entire automotive industry.
1914 hp and 547 km of autonomy
The Nevera is “animated” by four electric motors — one per wheel — that produce a combined power of 1,914 hp and 2360 Nm of maximum torque.
Powering all this is a 120 kWh battery that allows a range of up to 547 km (WLTP cycle), a very interesting number if we take into account what this Rimac is capable of offering. As an example, the Bugatti Chiron has a range of around 450 km.
412 km/h top speed
Everything around this electric hypercar is impressive and the records are… absurd. There is no other way to say it.
Accelerating from 0 to 96 km/h (60 mph) takes just 1.85s and reaching 161 km/h takes just 4.3s. The record from 0 to 300 km/h is completed in 9.3s and it is possible to continue accelerating up to 412 km/h.
Equipped with Brembo's carbon-ceramic brakes with 390 mm diameter discs, Nevera is equipped with a highly evolved regenerative braking system capable of dissipating kinetic energy through brake friction when the battery temperature approaches its limit.
Nevera did away with the usual stability and traction control systems, instead using the “All-Wheel Torque Vectoring 2” system, which makes around 100 calculations per second in order to send the exact level of torque to each wheel. to ensure maximum grip and stability.
Artificial intelligence takes on the role of an… instructor!
Nevera has six different driving modes, including the Track mode, which from 2022 — via a remote update — will be able to be explored to the limit even by less experienced drivers, thanks to the revolutionary Driving Coach.
This system, which is based on artificial intelligence, uses 12 ultrasonic sensors, 13 cameras, six radars and the Pegasus operating system — developed by NVIDIA — in order to improve lap times and track trajectories, through sound guidance and visual.
No two copies will be alike…
As mentioned above, the production of the Rimac Nevera is limited to just 150 copies, but the Croatian manufacturer guarantees that no two cars will be alike.
The "blame" is the wide range of customization that Rimac will offer its customers, who will have the freedom to create the electric hypercar of their dreams. Just pay…
