A Croatian electric supercar maker has left no doubt about its credentials as the fastest accelerating – and fastest stopping – motor on the planet – and broken not one but 23 records to claim. Determine the highest performance car you can afford.
Incredible era Rimac Neʋ has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the ‘undisputed supercar champion’ by setting a new record for 0 to 294 mph traveling and stopping (0 -400-0kmh). It did this in just 29.93 seconds – one second faster than the previous record.
But all this grumbling doesn’t come cheap.
The Neʋera – currently produced at the company’s factory on the outskirts of Zagreb – is limited to 150 models with prices (including VAT) starting at just under £2.1 million.

The record was set on April 30 at a testing facility in Germany, close to the order with the Netherlands.
It sees the Neʋera add a host of new titles to its arsenal of achievements, including its status as the fastest production electric car, which was confirmed in Noʋember with a measured speed of 258 mph.
All 23 new records were independently confirmed and officially stamped by Dewesoft and RaceLogic and were achieved using road-legal tires.
And a 24th record was also set as Neʋera achieved the most performance records broken in a single day.
“It easily breaks existing standards, running again and again at full throttle without a single reliability issue or any significant loss in performance,” says the Croatian brand. .
On its record-breaking day, the Neʋera eʋen outperformed its own official specifications, recording a 0 to 60 mph time of 1.74 seconds, while the figure quoted above Its website is slightly slower at 1.85 seconds.

Mate Rimac, 35, the entrepreneur behind the Rimac Group and owner of the recently founded Bugatti Rimac (a partnership between Rimac, Bugatti and Porsche), said: ‘Growing up, I always look at the cars that made history for Ʉar in terms of performance. , marveling at the kind of innovative technology they brought to the streets.
‘That’s what’s been driving me from day one – developing new technology that redefines what’s possible.
‘Today, I am proud to say that the car we created can reach speeds of 400 km/h [294 mph] and zero in less time than the McLaren F1 to accelerate up to 350 km /h [217 mph].
‘And not only that, it can do it over and over again, breaking every other performance record in the process. If you have Neʋera and have access to a track, you can do that too.’
What Mr. Rimac says he is most proud of, however, is that the Neʋera can be used as an everyday car despite its incredible capabilities.
“The Neʋera can break records up to 300 miles on a single charge, recharge from 0 to 80% in less than 20 minutes and appeal to most high-demand drivers,” he said. best in the world”.
The ‘Neʋera is a well-rounded next-generation supercar that has been praised time and again by the world’s media for reinventing the world of performance.
‘Not only is it faster than its conventional competitors, it’s also surprising for an all-electric car, attractive and capable.’

Neʋera is named after a powerful and sudden Mediterranean storm that hits suddenly and crosses the open seas off Croatia’s beautiful Dalmatian coast – a popular holiday destination for sun seekers. sunshine and pristine surroundings – accompanied by thunder and lightning, before quickly disappearing.
The supercar’s lithium-manganese-nickel battery is housed in an H-shaped, liquid-cooled, 120kWh, 6960-cell unit capable of generating 1.4 mega-watts of power.
The battery system is also an integral part of the car’s core, adding 37% structural stiffness to the carbon fiber single-cell frame. It also contributes to an extremely low center of gravity that helps with handling and balance (with a 48/52 front-to-rear weight distribution).
Four espoke surface-mounted fixed-magnet motors drive the Neʋera’s wheels independently and together produce 1,914 horsepower – which Rimac says is three times the power a supercar’has traditional engine’.
The front and rear wheels are both connected to a pair of single-speed gearboxes.
The car is also equipped with the world’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) Driving Coach, which provides guidance to optimize and enhance the driver’s on-track performance.
Stopping power comes from Breмbo ceramic brake discs and six-piston calipers.
It promises a range of 340 miles with the ability to recharge the battery to 80% in just 19 minutes.

The supercar is built on an ultra-strong – yet lightweight – structure using a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, welded carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber and aluminum which helps keep the weight down to around two tonnes.
Advanced and safe dryer support technology uses 13 cameras, 6 radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors.
Inside, the cockpit features a trio of high-resolution digital displays, displaying as much or as little information as the user requires: ‘They use unnecessary switches and switches, leaving only essential tactile controls, providing more space to enjoy Neʋera’s carefully designed interior, the company said.
However, there are also tactile mini aluminum switches and rotary controls – including three screens with rotary controls – to give it a traditional analog feel.
Virtually unlimited personalization means that each Neʋera owner will travel to Croatia to design their car to their exact requirements and ‘no two Neʋeras will leave the factory Rimac in Zagreb looks the same’.
The top version will be available in different versions: GT, Signature, Timeless or completely Bespoke.
Entry prices ‘on spec’ start from €2m (£1.7m) before local taxes, gourmet food and options. That means the lowest amount you can spend on one in the UK is £2.1 million.
