The Rimac Nevera R has once again managed to push the boundaries of what is possible. At this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025, not only was a modified version of the electric hypercar unveiled, but a new chapter in motorsport history was also written. With a breathtaking 29.94 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 400 km/h and back to 0, the Nevera R even trumps the previous king of this discipline: the Koenigsegg Regera (31.49 seconds).
24 performance records - an electrifying triumph
In addition to the new 0-400-0 world record, Rimac also set 24 performance records during an intensive day of testing at Automotive Testing Papenburg (ATP). These include:
0-100 km/h in 1.74 seconds
0-300 km/h in 8.25 seconds
0-400 km/h in 20.01 seconds
Braking distance from 400 to 0 km/h in just 9.93 seconds
Quarter mile in 8.25 seconds
The Nevera R therefore not only demonstrates extreme acceleration capability, but also absolute control when decelerating - an area in which e-vehicles have often been underestimated.

Nevera R - Evolution of an electric giant
The new "Nevera R" version has been specially optimized for ultimate performance on the track. It differs only slightly on the outside with new aerodynamic elements, such as a dominant rear wing and a modified front section, but offers a comprehensive revision of the software, suspension set-up, brakes and tires. According to Rimac, the Nevera R is the most dynamic version ever built - a vehicle that excels on the racetrack as well as on a straight line.
Mate Rimac: "Never before has a car been so complete"
Mate Rimac, founder and CEO of Rimac Automobili, commented:
"With the Nevera R, we have shown that fully electric super sports cars can not only dominate in terms of acceleration, but also compete at the very highest level in terms of balance, precision and braking performance. Never before has a vehicle been the leader in so many disciplines at the same time."

Technology carriers for the future
What makes the Nevera R special is not just its raw power, but also the technological sophistication behind it: An elaborate torque vectoring system, a customized battery cooler, a four-motor all-wheel drive and adaptive aerodynamics ensure an unprecedented harmony between energy and control. Rimac is thus positioning itself not only as a manufacturer of an exceptional vehicle, but also as a forge of the future in the high-performance segment.
