$2 Million Rimac Nevera Goes 256 Miles Per Hour, Sets Record as World’s Fastest EV

PAPENBURG, GERMANY – The Rimac Nevera has just taken the crown as the world’s fastest electric vehicle (EV), with the 1,914 horsepower Croatian supercar setting an unofficial world’s record by reaching a whopping 256 miles per hour – or 412 KPH – on a seven-and-a-half-mile oval track at the Automotive Testing Papenburg facility in Germany.

The Rimac Nevera’s price is as eye-opening as its speed, retailing for an astounding $2 million and featuring a two-seat interior, an active suspension, adjustable rear wing, a driving range of 300 miles between charges, and V-MAX mode, which stows aero elements to minimize drag.

Miro Zrnčević, Rimac’s chief test and development driver, was the behind the wheel during the record-setting drive, with the result having been verified by onboard equipment. However, the attempt was not sanctioned by either Guinness Records or another other record-keeping organization, keeping it from being an official word record for the time being.

“To travel at 412 kph means traveling at a third of the speed of sound,” Zrnčević said. “Simply achieving that alone in a road car is incredibly complex, but in Nevera we have created a car that can travel long distances on a single charge, can tackle tight and twisting race tracks and can drift as well as break straight-line speed records, both for acceleration and V-MAX.”

The Rimac Nevera achieves its astounding speed by way of four electric motors that allow it to accelerate to 60 mph in 1.85 seconds; in 2021, it set a quarter-mile acceleration record at 8.52 seconds.

The retail version of the EV software-locks its top speed at 219 miles per hour, but Rimac will unlock that speed inhibitor for supervised exhibitions and events for testing purposes and to accommodate owners who wish to push their limits.
