Breathtaking, this speed, which applies to pretty much everything having to do with Rimac.
A nevera is a type of storm or squall wind on the Adriatic Sea. Seems fitting. Other notes: battery capacity of 120 kWh with a voltage of 730 volts, maximum output of 1,888 hp, maximum torque of 2,360 Nm, top speed of 412 km/h, record-breaking 7:05.3 minutes around the Nordschleife, which, according to the manufacturer, the Nevera can do twice at racing speed on a single charge and with one set of tires. Last but not least, the weight specifications: 2.3 tons.
Clearly, a lot of adjustments and fine-tuning are required to make sure that this car doesn’t just self-destruct with a power-to-weight ratio of 1.2 kg per hp. The acceleration value of 1.85 seconds from zero to a hundred is already on the verge of leaving the imaginable. It reaches this speed in just 25.7 meters with an acceleration value of 15.02 m/s2.
Though the value zero must still be defined. The photoelectric sensors of modern measuring systems only start counting after a distance of about one foot (approximately 30 cm) of travel, so strictly speaking it’s a flying start, ideally on an extra rough surface. This just as an aside. One more figure: the Nevera reaches 300 km/h in 9.3 seconds. (...)
