Prologue
A hypercar company that started in a garage.
At 19, Mate Rimac converted his drift-and-track E30 to electric power — the e-M3. It eventually produced around 600 hp and 900 Nm, reached 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, and set five world records for electric vehicles. In 2009, Rimac Automobili was founded in Sveta Nedelja, near Zagreb, Croatia.

Nevera R's 24Two years later, the evolution rewrote every one of them on the same straight
"Honestly, when I started to tinker with my first car in a garage, I couldn't have even dreamt of being where we are 15 years later. There were so many times in the early years that we really thought the company wouldn't make it."
01
The Name of the StormNevera
Nevera — Croatian for a sudden, violent storm over the Adriatic: fast, fierce, and charged with lightning. On June 1, 2021, the production C_Two arrived under this name.
Launch · 2021
150 units, each signed by Mate
Nevera is limited to 150 units, each hand-built in Croatia, then personally tested and signed by Mate Rimac before delivery. 1,914 hp, 258 mph, around €2 million — in 2021, no production EV had come anywhere near those numbers.
DESIGN
Cravats, Butterfly Doors & Airflow
The 'cravat' motif running through the body honors 17th-century Croatian necktie culture, first used on the 2011 Concept_One; on the Nevera it also helps guide airflow.
"This is it. This is the car I had in mind when I embarked on the 'impossible' journey ten years ago. This car was born to outperform, and to raise the bar, redefining the norm for performance cars."
02
Four Motors, One BrainR-AWTV
No central engine, no conventional gearbox — four independent motors drive four wheels directly, while the torque vectoring system recalculates each wheel's share 100 times every second.
R-AWTV · Torque Vectoring
This is where the Nevera parts ways with every combustion hypercar: power is not one engine split by a gearbox, but four independently and continuously controllable torque sources.
Two carbon-sleeve permanent-magnet motors on the front axle, each 226 kW / 270 Nm; two at the rear, each 450 kW / 900 Nm. Rimac's All-Wheel Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV) distributes positive or negative torque to each wheel 100 times per second — traction, single-wheel slip control and cornering attitude are all managed with torque itself, not just the brakes.

Phase one of the Rimac Campus near Zagreb was completed in 2024: 75,000 m² of production space, €120M invested to date. Final assembly, composites, CNC, trim and paint for Nevera and Nevera R all happen here, alongside three high-voltage battery lines serving European premium carmakers.

"Today, I am proud to say that the car we've created can get to 400km/h and back to 0 in less time than it took the McLaren F1 to accelerate up to 350km/h. And not only that, but it can do it again and again."
2022 · 11 · 15 · 412 km/h
A third of the speed of sound
ATP Papenburg's two 4 km straights, measured by RaceLogic V-Box, driven by Chief Test and Development Driver Miro Zrnčević on Michelin Cup 2R tyres with Michelin engineers in attendance. 412 km/h — the target the C_Two had set in public in 2018, honored after 1.6 million cumulative development hours. Customer cars leave the factory limited to 352 km/h; the full speed is unlocked only at manufacturer-supervised events.
"To travel at 412kph, or 258mph, means travelling at a third of the speed of sound," said Zrnčević — and the same car still crosses continents on a charge, devours tight tracks and drifts. Acceleration and V-MAX records, one car.
2023 · 08 · 18 · NÜRBURGRING
7:05.298, first attempt
Rimac's first assault on the Nürburgring: the lap came from virtual performance optimization and only about 20 laps of industry pool testing; the practice week brought changeable weather and the timed day was one of the hottest of the year. 7:05.298 over the full 20.832 km (7:00.928 on the 20.6 km layout) — 20 seconds under the previous production-EV record, independently verified by TÜV SÜD. Martin Kodrić driving, Michelin Cup2R.
"Gentle and usable in the city, thrilling to drive on twisting B-roads, comfortable over long distances and devastatingly fast on a race track." — Martin Kodrić
"Breaking records with the Nevera is a testament to the innovation and dedication of the Rimac team. I'm proud of what we achieved in our first time at the Nürburgring. Our virtual performance optimization, combined with only about 20 laps of industry pool testing, led to a great result."
Reverse · the record
Reverse gear, 275 km/h
Four motors can spin the wheels backwards at full power. On November 7, 2023, Goran Drndak drove 171.34 mph (275.74 km/h) in reverse at ATP — witnessed by Guinness, verified by Dewesoft. The Miura reached that speed forwards with a V12, in 1967.
"It definitely took some getting used to. You're facing straight out backwards watching the scenery flash away from you faster and faster, feeling your neck pulled forwards in almost the same sensation you would normally get under heavy braking," said Drndak. "Despite it being almost completely unnatural to the way the car was engineered, Nevera breezed through yet another record."

09.07.2025 · 24 Records
Two years later, on the same Papenburg straight: in its final validation before customer deliveries, the Nevera R set 24 records in one day — rewriting every single one held by the standard Nevera.
0–400–0 · 25.79 s
To 400 in 17.35 s, then stop
Final validation in high-speed mode: 0–100 km/h in 1.72 s, 0–300 in 7.89 s, 0–400 in 17.35 s, then full braking — 25.79 s in total, 4.14 s quicker than two years before. Top speed 431.45 km/h took the production-EV record; every figure independently verified by Dewesoft.
"In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades. But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster. Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won't stop here."
Founder's Edition · Coda
Ten cars, gone in a week
At the top of the Nevera R family sits the Founder's Edition: ten cars worldwide, all allocated within a week of their private announcement in August 2025. The first was delivered on the frozen lake at St. Moritz on January 30, 2026 — Côte d'Azur blue over Titanium Silver, a 2 mm central roof stripe woven with the cravat motif and circuit-board graphics. Each one is handed over by Mate Rimac personally.
