415 km/h: electric car of the Croatian brand Rimac sets a world speed record

Croatian automaker Rimac's Nevera electric car has been named the world's fastest electric car, according to Evo. On the Pepenburg circuit in Germany, the Nevera was able to reach a top speed of 415 km/h, a third of the speed of sound. Driving at the time was Miro Zrncevic, Rimac's chief tester and developer.

Nevera's closest competitors - Aspark Owl and Tesla Model S Plaid - can reach speeds of 400 km / h and 347 km / h, respectively. However, Nevera still cannot compete with gas-powered cars: the Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+ is capable of accelerating to 490 km/h.

A two-seat electric car equipped with four engines and capable of traveling on a charge of about 500 km, Rimac Nevera was first presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2018. Nevera is manufactured at the Rimac headquarters on the outskirts of Zagreb. A total of 50 electric vehicles will be produced. The first of them, worth $2.1 million, have already been delivered to the owners.
