I have only talked about one car in this newsletter, and that is the Tesla Model 3, but today I want to talk about another car. Now, unlike the Tesla, I haven’t actually ridden in this car before or even seen one in real life. With the Tesla, I actually got to see it and ride in it for a few days, but that is not the case for this car. Nonetheless, the Rimac Nevera is really cool, so I’m going to talk a little bit about it! I discovered this car from a MKBHD video (click here to watch it for yourself, since he explains it much better than I can). This car isn’t practical, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend buying it, but it is a really cool car! The Rimac Nevera was designed by Rimac, and it is only the second car created by Rimac. Their first car attempt didn’t go super well, but this car is pretty awesome!
What makes this car awesome, though? Well, to put it simply: this car broke 23 World Records in one day, which is the most records achieved by any car in a single day ever! Let’s take a look at the insane statistics! It can achieve a top speed of 258mph, go from 0-60mph in 1.45 seconds, and 0-180mph in 9.22 seconds. When it comes to power, this car has 1813 horsepower! The craziest part of all of this is that this in an electric car! It is powered solely by electricity, and the 120 kWh battery pack can produce up to 300 miles of range (which isn’t terrible for an electric car). Not only are the specs of this car crazy, but it presents a sleek and flashy design. The exterior comes in multiple different colors that are simply stunning. It has a sleek shape (providing minimum resistance), a spoiler (for increased speed and braking), and Pilot Sport 4S tires (which allows this speedy car to cling to the ground even on rough surfaces and bad conditions). This car is very well-built, using lots of carbon fiber and other sturdy and luxurious materials. Perhaps the coolest part of this car is the ability to change drive modes. The Rimac Nevera has 5 drive modes which automatically adjust the torque, steering, and aerodynamics: Range (only rear-wheel drive; for everyday driving), Cruise (also for everyday driving, but has all-wheel drive), Sport, Track (the most possible speed), and Drift. You can also adjust these settings manually with a separate knob on the dash, allowing you to fine-tune your torque, steering dampers, and aerodynamics exactly how you need them (or want them).
Obviously, this car isn’t practical at all; the range is not great, it doesn’t have much trunk space, it can only seat two people, and most of us don’t need a car this fast. If you do, for some reason, want to buy this car, it costs a whopping $2.5 million! (Now, you probably don’t want to buy it). Plus, there are only 150 produced, so good luck getting your hands on one! Nonetheless, this is a crazy car, and the stats it was able to achieve are beyond impressive! I hope you now think it is as cool as I think it is! You can learn more about it here.
