The Rimac Nevera has claimed the title of the 'World's fastest production EV' after reaching a top speed of 412 km/h.



The Nevera was driven by Rimac's chief test & development driver, Miro Zrncevic. The record attempt took place at the Automotive Testing Papenburg track in Germany, which has two 4 km straights.

In addition to becoming the fastest EV production car, the Nevera also holds the title of being the fastest accelerating car over a quarter mile, which was completed in 8.582 seconds. The electric hypercar is capable of accelerating from 0 - 100 km/h in just 1.95 sec, thanks to its four electric motors, which produce a combined total of 1,914 BHP. While the Nevera has clocked 412 km/h, the cars delivered to customers come with an electronically-limited top speed of 352 km/h.

The world's fastest production car though continues to be the 1,360 BHP Koenigsegg Agera RS, which reached 447.18 km/h back in 2017. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ reached 490.84 km/h in 2019, but the run was recorded only one way and hence wasn't officially considered. Similarly, in 2020, the 508.73 km/h run of the SSC Tuatara was also not considered as it wasn't homologated for road use.

What's even more astonishing is the fact that at around 400Km/h the soc dropped less than 1% per second.

Top gear s33e01 reviewed this car.
It did a sprint, then a race against an aventador SVJ, followed by another mile run with the same aventador and a 300m head start.
The annihilation is something to behold. You remember earlier TG episodes where a "fast" car is put up against supercars? (McL F1 vs GTR). Thats what it looked like.

Something Harris said after that segment, that ICE manufacturers should just stop quoting and gloating on 0-60 times, as they are irrelevant in the face of cars like the Nevera.
