Rimac Nevera R Smashes 24 Performance Records: Beats Koenigsegg With New 0-400-0 Time

Rimac has once again made its mark with the new Nevera R. This latest version of its electric hypercar has broken 24 performance records, including the demanding 0-400-0 km/h run. The Nevera R completed it in just 25.79 seconds, beating the previous time by over four seconds. With this result, Rimac has taken back the title and shown what focused development and engineering can achieve in the electric performance space.

Compared to the original Nevera’s time of 29.93 seconds, the difference is significant. These results weren’t just internal test figures — they were independently verified by Dewesoft, lending them global credibility. This also shows the depth of work Rimac has done in refining every system and setup in the car. From software to components, the team aimed to push the car to deliver faster, cleaner runs under demanding conditions.

Powering the Nevera R are four electric motors that together generate 2,078bhp. But the standout feature is Rimac’s advanced torque vectoring system, which adjusts power distribution between the wheels 100 times every second. This constant monitoring and adjustment mean the car stays composed and balanced, even during extreme acceleration or sudden braking at very high speeds.

Mate Rimac, Founder and President of the Rimac Group, CEO Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology, said: '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, while still maintaining much of the comfort and practicality that makes the Nevera a real, usable daily car. Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won’t stop here.'

To support this kind of performance, Rimac has also redesigned key parts of the car. A fixed rear wing and a larger diffuser help increase downforce by 15%, which keeps the car more stable at speed. Aerodynamic efficiency has also improved by 10%. In addition, new Michelin tyres have been fitted to improve grip, reduce understeer, and boost overall control through corners.

The Nevera R is not just about numbers or speed runs — it’s a clear sign of how far electric vehicle technology has come. Rimac hasn’t just built a faster car; it has raised the bar for what electric hypercars can deliver in real-world performance.
