Despite its bonkers 1888bhp output, the AutomobiliRimac Nevera is far from a one-trick-pony, proving to be one of the most involving hypercars we’ve driven to date - MateRimac
Electric hypercars aren’t exactly light – on scales or pocketNevera, you can tell it’s special. You can tell it’s different compared with any other uber-fast car you’ve ever driven, be that conventionally or electrically powered.for a car like this. From the way it filters away all the unwanted stuff that goes on beneath your hands and backside, creating sound but not noise as it glides serenely across the landscape.
It has four electric motors and four gearboxes, each of which drives one of its four driven wheels. The e-motors at the front each produce 295bhp and 206lb ft to give a total of 590bhp and 412lb ft – across the front wheels. At the rear, the motors are somewhat beefier and produce 644bhp and 664lb ft. Each. This gives a combined total of 1288bhp and 1326lb ft – purely at the back wheels – which ultimately provides an entirely surreal-sounding 1888bhp and 1739lb ft combined total.
As you can imagine, traction is always going to be an issue with the thick end of 1900bhp on tap, and the Nevera’s uber-complex ESC system has been tuned by Rimac to work extraordinarily well in practice. To a point where up to about 100mph you never actually get full beans in the Nevera, not even in Track mode, not unless you switch everything off, which is not something you should do in a hurry, trust me.
The aero package, as you might imagine, is also pretty trick and contains ‘active elements’ at the front and rear, and along the car’s underbelly as well. A variety of hydraulically operated wings and ducts are automatically deployed as the car accelerates, brakes and corners, the whole lot being controlled by the same potent ICU that takes care of the ESC, dampers, throttle, steering, brakes, you name it.
