Rimac Automobili Makes History with Record Speeds
Rimac Automobili, the Croatian luxury electric car maker, has set new benchmarks for speed, including a remarkable reverse run that earned a place in the Guinness World Records. The company reported the milestone through its press service, underscoring the automaker’s relentless push to redefine performance boundaries.
During a test session in Germany, the Rimac Nevera reached a top reverse speed of 275.7 km/h. This achievement was officially recognized and added to the Guinness World Records as a record for the fastest vehicle in reverse. The run demonstrated the Nevera’s exceptional engineering, control systems, and power delivery even when moving backward at extreme speeds.
Earlier in 2022, the Rimac Nevera had already made waves by setting the world speed record for electric production cars with a speed of 412 km/h. The summer of 2023 brought another milestone as the Nevera established a new Nürburgring time in the electric vehicle class, highlighting the car’s all-around performance capabilities on a world famous track.
The Nevera achieves its extraordinary performance with a powertrain that combines four electric motors. The combined output is 1914 horsepower, delivering high torque and rapid response. The car sprints from a standstill to 100 km/h in under two seconds and reaches 300 km/h in just over nine seconds, numbers that place it among the most formidable electric hypercars on the market today.
In related industry news, there were reports of a price decrease across new car offerings in Russia, reflecting broader market dynamics that influence consumer choices and dealer strategies in surrounding regions.
These milestones illustrate Rimac’s role in accelerating advanced propulsion technology and shaping the future of high-performance electric vehicles. The Nevera’s proven capabilities in both forward and reverse driving scenarios showcase a blend of power, precision engineering, and sophisticated control systems that set it apart in the hypercar segment. Ongoing testing and performance validation continue to affirm Rimac’s commitment to engineering excellence and automotive innovation.
