## Origin and development
The car began as the C_Two, revealed at the 88th Geneva International Motor Show in March 2018 with 1914 hp, 2300 Nm of torque, a claimed 0-300 km/h time of 11.8 seconds, and a 550 km WLTP range target.[5](https://www.rimac-automobili.com/media/press-releases/88th-geneva-international-motor-show-rimac-unveils-the-c_two/) After the reveal, Rimac built a dedicated prototype production line at its newly opened facility in Veliko Trgovišće, Croatia, to accelerate validation and crash testing for worldwide homologation.[6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbv19JVeQt4) The production version was renamed Nevera and launched on June 1, 2021; founder [Mate Rimac](https://www.edgepedia.org/mate-rimac) personally test-drives and signs off each of the 150 examples before delivery.[1](https://www.rimac-newsroom.com/press-releases/rimac-automobili/rimac-nevera-takes-the-hypercar-market-by-storm) The name refers to a sudden Mediterranean storm.[1](https://www.rimac-newsroom.com/press-releases/rimac-automobili/rimac-nevera-takes-the-hypercar-market-by-storm)
In 2021 the same year as the launch, Rimac Automobili and Bugatti merged into Bugatti Rimac, with the Nevera as its flagship and production based at Rimac's campus near Zagreb.[4](https://www.rimac-technology.com/en/company) • [7](https://rimac-automobili.com/NeveraR/)
## Powertrain and battery
Each wheel has its own motor, inverter, and gearbox: two front motors rated 226 kW (307 hp) and 270 Nm each, and two rear motors rated 450 kW (612 hp) and 900 Nm each, all surface-mounted permanent-magnet units with carbon sleeves, running on an 800 V electrical system.[3](https://rimac-automobili.com/nevera/) [Four-wheel drive](https://www.edgepedia.org/four-wheel-drive) with software-controlled torque vectoring replaces conventional electronic stability and traction control through the Rimac All-Wheel Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV 2) system, which makes over 100 calculations per second to distribute torque between wheels and can bias the car from front-wheel to rear-wheel drive, including a Drift mode that sends all torque to the rear axle.[3](https://rimac-automobili.com/nevera/) • [8](https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/rimac/nevera/driving) • [1](https://www.rimac-newsroom.com/press-releases/rimac-automobili/rimac-nevera-takes-the-hypercar-market-by-storm)
The 120 kWh battery is a structural member of the chassis: a full carbon fiber pack integrated into the monocoque that also adds torsional stiffness, with cells running beneath the floor, through the central tunnel, and behind the seats.[3](https://rimac-automobili.com/nevera/) • [9](https://www.rimac-technology.com/case-study/inventing-the-battery-of-the-world-s-fastest-vehicle) Rimac reports a pack-level energy density of 169 Wh/kg and describes it as the highest-power battery pack integrated into a road-legal car.[9](https://www.rimac-technology.com/case-study/inventing-the-battery-of-the-world-s-fastest-vehicle) The car accepts up to 500 kW DC charging, reaching 80% state of charge in 19 minutes at that rate, 25 minutes at 350 kW, and 30 minutes at 250 kW; on-board AC charging is 3-phase 22 kW.[3](https://rimac-automobili.com/nevera/)
## Structure and chassis
The body is a carbon fiber monocoque with a bonded carbon fiber roof, a carbon fiber rear subframe merged with the tub, and carbon fiber and aluminum crash structures.[3](https://rimac-automobili.com/nevera/) Suspension is double wishbone at all four corners with electronically adjusted dampers, a hydraulic lift system, and anti-roll bars; brakes are 390 mm six-piston CCMR carbon-ceramic discs with ducted cooling, blended with regenerative braking through a brake-by-wire system with a pedal feel simulator.[3](https://rimac-automobili.com/nevera/) • [1](https://www.rimac-newsroom.com/press-releases/rimac-automobili/rimac-nevera-takes-the-hypercar-market-by-storm) Active aerodynamic elements include the front bonnet profile, front underbody flap, rear diffuser, and rear wing; the drag coefficient is 0.3 in low-drag mode, and switching to the high-downforce setting increases downforce by 326 percent.[3](https://rimac-automobili.com/nevera/) • [8](https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/rimac/nevera/driving) Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, 275/35 R20 front and 315/35 R20 rear.[3](https://rimac-automobili.com/nevera/)
## Records
**Papenburg, 2023.** At the Automotive Testing Papenburg proving ground in Germany, the Nevera set 23 acceleration and braking records in a single day, independently verified by Dewesoft and Racelogic, using road-legal Michelin Cup 2 R tires on non-prepped asphalt with a standard one-foot roll-out.[10](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43917904/rimac-nevera-electric-hypercar-sets-23-records/) Verified times included 0-60 mph in 1.74 s, 0-200 km/h in 4.42 s, 0-400 km/h in 21.31 s, and the 0-400-0 km/h run in 29.93 s, beating the previous 31.49 s record set by a [Koenigsegg Regera](https://www.edgepedia.org/koenigsegg-regera) in 2019.[11](https://dewesoft.com/blog/measuring-speed-records-of-rimac-nevera) Rimac had earlier claimed an EV top speed record of 258 mph at the same track.[10](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43917904/rimac-nevera-electric-hypercar-sets-23-records/)
**Nevera R, 2025.** In July 2025 it set 24 world records in one day, including 0-60 mph in 1.66 s, 0-300 km/h in 7.89 s, 0-400 km/h in 17.35 s, and a new 0-400-0 km/h record of 25.79 s, 4.14 seconds quicker than the standard Nevera, plus a fastest EV top speed of 431.45 km/h (268.2 mph).[12](https://www.rimac-newsroom.com/press-releases/rimac-automobili/rimac-nevera-r-becomes-new-0-400-0-champion-and-sets-24-performance-records)
## Driving character and market context
Reviewers describe a car tuned as much for usability as for records. The Nevera offers seven drive modes (Range, Cruise, Sport, Track, Drift, and two custom presets); Range mode favors the front motors for efficiency, while Track unlocks full output.[13](https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/08/rimac-nevera-first-drive-an-entirely-new-level-of-hypercar-performance/) • [14](https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a40919014/2022-rimac-nevera-drive/) The United States EPA rates it at 205 miles of range and 53 MPGe combined.[15](https://www.caranddriver.com/rimac/nevera-2024)
The mechanically related [Pininfarina Battista](https://www.edgepedia.org/pininfarina-battista), whose drivetrain and carbon fiber tub are produced by Rimac, was built alongside the Nevera.[16](https://www.autoblog.com/reviews/rimac-nevera-review) • [17](https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-rimac-nevera-electric-hypercar-first-drive-review)
