Odds are, you’ve never heard of Rimac, a 12-year-old manufacturer of batteries and other systems for various manufacturers, including Porsche, Hyundai, Koenigsegg and Aston Martin, among others. The Nevera’s performance comes from the electric motors at each wheel, controlled by one of five driving modes: Range, Cruise, Sport, Track and Drift. Each mode gets its own settings for aerodynamics, steering dampers and torque vectoring. Range is perfect for toddling around town, working solely in front-wheel drive to provide the most range. You can also use Cruise, with all four motors providing all-wheel drive, although you only get 670% of the car’s power.
Yes, it makes some noise, clunking noises form the rear mechanisms that are reminiscent of driving a roadster from 80 years ago. There’s an electric motor whine as well, but silence and some road noise are all that you get. Since the Nevera gets it from a battery, it’s the smooth, silent type.
