Rimac Nevera smashes EV lap record at Nurburgring: Outpaces Tesla Model S Plaid by 20s

The Rimac Nevera has set a new lap record for a production electric car at the 20.6 km-long Nurburgring, with a time of 7 minutes and 5.298 seconds. With this, the electric hypercar has smashed the record previously held by Tesla Model S Plaid by 20 seconds. To commemorate this feat, the Croatian manufacturer has also launched a limited-edition Nevera named ‘Time Attack’.
The Nevera is a 1,914 hp hypercar that can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 1.81 seconds. It is powered by four electric motors and has a top speed of 415.2 kmph. Furthermore, it is equipped with a 120 kWh battery pack and delivers a WLTP range of 490 km.
To achieve its record-breaking lap, the Nevera was driven by Croatian racing driver Martin Kodric.

Rimac debuted the limited-edition Nevera Time Attack model at Monterey Car Week in the United States. This variant boasts a sleek black exterior featuring lightning green accents, including twin stripes, lower body sections, wheels, and segments of the front and rear bumpers.
The interior features black Alcantara fabric complemented by vivid green contrasting stitching and accents embellishing the seats and door panels. Notably, a ‘Time Attack: 1 of 12’ plaque adds a unique touch to this limited edition masterpiece.
Earlier this year, the Nevera set over 23 records in just a day, including a 0-100 kmph sprint in just 1.81 seconds and the 0-400 kmph and back to a standstill run in just 29.93 seconds. However, the latter was bested by Koenigsegg Regera in just 28.81 seconds.
