The Rimac Nevera is edging ever closer to reaching the hands of customers but some final things need to be done before development is completed. This includes crash testing of a perfectly finished pre-series car.
Rimac has built over a dozen Nevera prototypes and used a number of them for crash tests. The Nevera featured in this particular video is a pre-series car that was built in 2021 and has been used as a demonstrator at events around the world. It is also the Nevera that’s been tested by select members of the media and established itself as the world’s quickest-accelerating production car.
Unfortunately, this Nevera will soon be wrecked as part of Rimac’s global homologation crash testing program so Mate Rimac decided to have one final adventure in the car and did something customers will never do; take the all-electric hypercar off-roading.
Rimac initially headed onto a dirt road covered in slippery leaves with the Nevera before heading to the construction site where its forthcoming Campus is being built. Despite all of the mud, Mate was able to expertly powerslide the Nevera prototype around a number of obstacles, kicking up dirt and making the car absolutely filthy.
As a reminder, the Rimac Nevera has four electric motors that combine to produce 1,914 hp and 1,740 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. Feeding these motors with energy is a 120 kWh liquid-cooled lithium, manganese, and nickel battery pack that also gives the Nevera 340 miles (547 km) of range on the WLTP cycle. The car can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 1.85 seconds, 100 mph (161 km/h) in 4.3 seconds, and sprint down the quarter-mile in 8.6 seconds.
