$4.1m Rimac Nevera R breaks 24 world records in one go

The record books have been rewritten after a hypercar not only beat but annihilated two dozen world records.

A Rimac hypercar has smashed 24 world records, including going from 0 to 400km/h and then coming to a complete stop in just 25 seconds.

The hair-raising Nevera R has been crowned the new 0-400-0 champion, breaking a slew of records in the process.

In just 25.79 seconds, the electric supercar accelerated from standstill to 400km/h and back to a halt, beating the previous record by a full 2.04 seconds.

Equipped with a breathtaking quad-motor all-electric powertrain, the Rimac has been labelled “the fastest accelerating production car the world has ever seen.”

Among the new benchmarks set by the electrifying ride is a jaw-dropping 0 to 60mph time of just 1.66 seconds.

During its record-breaking run, the £1.8 million ($A3.4m) Nevera R hit a blistering top speed of 431.453km/h.

Producing an astonishing 2,107 brake horsepower, the Nevera R soared to the top of the performance charts, according to Luxury Auto News.

The dramatic improvement is thanks to a re-engineering of several major components.

Meanwhile, Michelin Cup 2 tires reduce understeer and boost lateral grip.

These upgrades work in concert with a next-generation All-Wheel Torque Vectoring system, designed to maximise traction and handling precision.

“When we first introduced Nevera, it almost seemed like the pinnacle of hypercar performance had been reached. In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades,” Mate Rimac, founder and president of the Rimac Group said.

“But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster, while still maintaining much of the comfort and practicality that makes the Nevera a real, usable daily car,” he added.

“Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won’t stop here.”

The Nevera R smashed its own 2023 records, securing its spot at the very top of the EV leaderboard.

The original Nevera already held several elite titles, including the production EV top speed record of 412 km/h, a Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb record of 49.32 seconds, and the electric production car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife at 7:05.298.

Now, there’s even more opportunity for the Nevera R to go after what few records remain.

Limited to just 40 units worldwide with a starting price of €2.3 million ($A4.1m), each Nevera R now carries the distinction of being part of the most comprehensively record-breaking hypercar ever created.

The Rimac Nevera R doesn’t just edge out the original Nevera — it leaps ahead, according to CarBuzz.

The performance gap is clear across nearly every metric.

The R version cut 1.61 seconds off the 0–200mph time, coming in at 9.25 seconds.

It also hit 0–400 km/h (249mph) in 17.35 seconds, nearly four seconds quicker than the standard model.

In the 0–250–0mph test, the Nevera R was over five seconds faster, highlighting massive gains in both acceleration and braking.

It also improved the standing mile time to 19.71 seconds, shaving off almost a full second.

The quarter-mile came in at 7.90 seconds, beating even the drag-ready Dodge Demon 170, and without special tires.

Top speed rose from 412km/h to 431km/h, and it accelerated from 200–300km/h in just 3.89 seconds.

Each upgrade shows Rimac’s engineering wasn’t just refined, it was reimagined.
