The track was picked specifically for its two lengthy straights, each measuring 4 kilometers (2.9 miles). The Nevera was not modified for the top speed attempt, and it used road-legal Cup 2 R tires. To accurately measure speed, a GPS-based Racelogic V-Box device was installed inside the car.
Rimac states that the hypercar was already driving at 250 km/h (155 mph) after exiting the banking and heading into the straight when Miro Zrnčević put the four motors to work, which then unlocked 1,914 horsepower.
The Rimac Nevera's achievement is highly commendable. However, it will be some time before high-performance EVs can match the top speeds of ICE-powered hypercars. As a reminder, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport remains the speed king after reaching 490.48 km/h (304.77 mph) in 2019 at the VW Group's Ehra-Lessien testing facility.
