Rimac Nevera silently rockets into Jay Leno’s Storage

The Rimac Nevera is likely one of the hottest hypercars of the second, so naturally it made an look at Jay Leno’s Storage. Rimac additionally despatched over growth driver Miroslav Zrncevic to elucidate the small print of the electrical famous person.

The Nevera is the manufacturing of the Rimac C_Two idea that first appeared on the 2018 Geneva auto present, and successor to the Rimac Concept_One, Rimac’s first electrical hypercar. After numerous growth work (about 1.6 million hours, Zrncevic reckons) and coronavirus-related delays, the Nevera just lately entered manufacturing, with the primary buyer automotive going to 2016 Method 1 champion Nico Rosberg

.Headline figures embody 4 electrical motors producing a mixed 1,914 hp and 1,740 lb-ft of torque, which allowed the Nevera to run an 8.58-second quarter mile at 167.51 mph in a 2021 take a look at—a production-car file, Rimac claims. The Nevera additionally has an EPA-rated 287 miles of vary.

The benefit of getting 4 motors—one powering every wheel—is extra management over how energy is distributed, Zrncevic explains within the video. Rimac’s management system permits for modifications within the entrance/rear torque cut up, in addition to torque vectoring. These parameters, together with suspension stiffness, steering weight, and accelerator response, are included into 5 drive modes for various talent ranges and conditions—together with a drift mode.

Like different hypercars from established automakers, the Nevera has a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. It is the largest single carbon-fiber part presently produced by the auto trade, Zrncevic says within the video. Battery modules are housed behind the seats (roughly the place the engine can be in conventional mid-engined supercars), within the footwells, and in a central tunnel to maintain the middle of gravity as little as attainable and optimize weight distribution.

Additionally highlighted within the video are the Nevera’s lively aerodynamic components, encompassing a front-hood flap, underbody flap, rear wing, and rear diffuser. They are often adjusted so as to add or subtract downforce, and work with facet air inlets to help cooling. These inlets are formed like a cravat necktie, a nod to Rimac’s Croatian homeland, the place that piece of clothes originated.

Rimac plans to construct 150 Neveras at a fee of fifty per 12 months, and priced at roughly $2.4 million every.

With manufacturing underway, Rimac will transfer on to creating automobiles in live performance with Bugatti. Rimac’s automotive division merged with Bugatti final 12 months to kind Bugatti Rimac.
