The curved sections of the observe have been used to Rimac’s chief check driver’s benefit. He left the turns touring at 155 mph after which jumped on the accelerator pedal and held on.

The corporate says the automobile was set in its prime velocity mode that’s meant to create an “aerodynamic profile that balances drag and downforce to make sure stability at excessive velocity.” Principally, Rimac made the Nevera as slippery as attainable with out giving up stability. The automobile was additionally fitted with highway going Michelin Cup 2R tires for the run.

Fortunately, you may watch the run on YouTube. There’s even a video that focuses on the VBOX information which you could take a look at.

That’s sufficient energy not solely to catapult the automobile to 256 mph, however to get it from 0-60 mph in simply 1.85 seconds and 0-100 mph in 4.3 seconds, based on Rimac.

A few of you actually thought electrical automobiles have been boring. Disgrace on you.
