The all-electric Rimac Nevera R has smashed a whopping two dozen new world records for acceleration and braking, claimed the Croatia-headquartered hypercar brand. Ranging between the fastest 0-100kph and 0-400-0kph times recorded by a production EV, the Nevera R set these feats at the Automotive Testing Papenburg proving ground in Germany from July 5-8. For reference, the standard Rimac Nevera had 23 records to itself, all of which, except one, were bettered by the even more extreme R.
- The Rimac Nevera R takes just 1.72 seconds to go from 0-100kph
- It makes a total of 2,017hp, 103hp more than the standard Nevera
“When we first introduced Nevera, it almost seemed like the pinnacle of hypercar performance had been reached…In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades. But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster. Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won’t stop here,” stated founder and CEO Mate Rimac.

While the R’s 431kph headline-grabbing top speed is the highest in a production EV per the hypercar specialist, it’s still 8kph short of the 439kph Aspark Owl SP600 concept. Combustion-powered hypercars still rule the outright speed game, with the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport’s blistering 490kph.
The Nevera R’s 1.72 seconds for dispatching 0-100kph (Nevera – 1.81 seconds) is equally impressive, but the real standout is its 0-400-0kph acceleration-braking time of 25.79 seconds. That alone is a full 2.04 seconds quicker than the previous record holder-Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut’s 27.83 seconds, and 4.14 seconds over the Nevera.

2,107hp combined output, 120kWh battery pack
Both Neveras share a 120kWh battery pack, though the R’s combined 2,017hp total output is 103hp more than the regular model. Rimac bills the Nevera R as an electric “hyper sports car” and has equipped it with torque-vectoring tech specifically tuned for its Michelin Cup 2 tyres. Along with that, it boasts an improved steering rack for sharper responses and crisper feedback.
