Rimac Nevera R sets new 0-400-0 km/h record – 25.79 seconds; world’s fastest production EV at 431.45 km/h

Rimac has beaten Koenigsegg to once again regain the 0-400-0 km/h title after its Nevera R achieved the feat in just 25.79 seconds. That’s 2.04 seconds quicker than what the Jesko Absolut managed last year when it set a time of 27.83 seconds.

For a bit more history on this 0-400-0 km/h battle between the two hypercar giants, the Jesko Absolut beat out the Regera that clocked a time of 28.81 seconds in June 2023, which was faster than the original Nevera that managed 29.93 seconds just a month earlier that year.

Given the Nevera R packs considerably more performance than the original, it managed to beat 24 world speed records in total, including 23 held set by the successor to the Concept One. It’s quite a list, so we’ll just put it in bullet form for easier digestion:

  • 0-97 km/h in 1.66 seconds (-0.08 seconds over the Nevera)
  • 0-100 km/h in 1.72 seconds (-0.09 seconds)
  • 0-161 km/h in 2.96 seconds (-0.25 seconds)
  • 0-200 km/h in 3.95 seconds (-0.47 seconds)
  • 0-300 km/h in 7.89 seconds (-1.33 seconds)
  • 0-322 km/h in 9.25 seconds (-1.61 seconds)
  • 0-400 km/h in 17.35 seconds (-3.96 seconds)
  • 100-200 km/h in 2.22 seconds (-0.37 seconds)
  • 200-250 km/h in 1.65 seconds (-0.35 seconds)
  • 200-300 km/h in 3.89 seconds (-0.9 seconds)
  • 0-100-0 km/h in 3.32 seconds (-0.67 seconds)
  • 0-200-0 km/h in 8.58 seconds (-0.27 seconds)
  • 0-300-0 km/h in 14.49 seconds (-1.19 seconds)
  • 0-400-0 km/h in 25.79 seconds (-4.14 seconds)
  • 0-402-0 km/h in 26.2 seconds (-5.21 seconds)
  • Quarter mile (0.4 km) in 7.9 seconds (-0.35 seconds)
  • Standing mile (1.6 km) in 19.71 seconds (-0.88 seconds)
  • Top speed of 431.45 km/h (+19.45 km/h)

Rimac Nevera R sets new 0-400-0 km/h record – 25.79 seconds; world’s fastest production EV at 431.45 km/h

According to Rimac, the Nevera R set these records while in high-speed mode, with Dewesoft in charge of independently verifying the times and top speed set. With these results, the company calls its creation the world’s fastest production electric vehicle (EV).

The Nevera R made its debut last August and packs a quad-motor setup with a total system output of 2,107 PS. It’s also lighter than the original while boasting a improved downforce, albeit as the expense of the battery pack that has a lower energy capacity of 108 kWh (the Nevera had a 120-kWh unit). Only 40 will be offered, with each starting from 2.3 million euros (about RM11.5 million).

“When we first introduced Nevera it almost seemed like the pinnacle of hypercar performance had been reached. In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades. But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster, while still maintaining much of the comfort and practicality that makes the Nevera a real, usable daily car. Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won’t stop here,” said Mate Rimac, founder and president of the Rimac Group, CEO of Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology.

  • 0-400 in 17.35s, it takes 963.89meter
    Then 400 stop to 0, it takes 8.45s, 469.4m

    Too long, too dangerous.
    Kalau layman drive and expect can stop within 50m, they will say it’s brake not functioning.

      If it to stop like normal car going from its top speed, it would defy the current laws of braking physics and the human inside will go splat on the windscreen.
