Rimac Automobili has shown the final production version of the C Two electric hypercar, dubbed Nevera, which has a lot of improvements over the original 2018 prototype.The new Nevera is named after a Croatian word that refers to a sudden and destructive Mediterranean storm.The redesigned Rimac Revera has a wide range of revisions to its bodywork and aero agenda compared to the concept, resulting in a 34 percent increase in aerodynamic efficiency.To boost airflow and downforce, Rimac changed the contour of the bonnet, the form of the pillars, and the design of the diffusers, splitters, and radiators.
Furthermore, the modified inlets and cooling channels improved the cooling efficiency of the braking and powertrain systems by 30% at low speeds and 7% at high speeds.
The various active aero features that allow the new Rimac Nevera to convert from "high-downforce" to "low-drag," delivering the best aerodynamic configuration in any driving circumstance, are possibly the most striking aspect of the bodywork. The Croatian electric hypercar reduces its aerodynamic drag by 17.5 percent to generate a 0.3 coefficient of drag when in "low-drag" mode. Return to "high-downforce" mode, and the body's downforce levels will increase by 326 percent.
In 8.6 seconds, you can run a quarter mile.
The new Nevera is powered by four bespoke electric motors, one for each wheel, with a total output of 1,914 horsepower and 1,740 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. Rimac designed and built a 120kWh H-shaped liquid-cooled Lithium/Manganese/Nickel battery pack from the ground up. On the WLTP cycle, the driving range is rated at 340 miles (547 kilometres).
The Nevera is said to have a 0-60 mph time of 1.85 seconds and a 0-100 mph (161 km/h) time of 4.3 seconds, according to Rimac. The quarter-mile takes 8.6 seconds, the 0-186 mph (300 km/h) takes 9.3 seconds, and the highest speed is 258 mph (412 km/h).
One of the new Nevera's most innovative features, according to Rimac, is the carbon monocoque, which is designed to surround the battery pack to make a "extremely strong structure" with a torsional stiffness of 70,000 Nm/degree. The battery pack alone adds 37% structural rigidity to the carbon-fiber monocoque, and its optimal placement within the hypercar's floor contributes not only to a low centre of gravity but also to a good front-to-back weight balance of 48/52.
Rimac wanted the new Nevera to have the qualities of a grand tourer with the precision of a track-focused machine, so they spent a lot of time fine-tuning the different driving modes. There are seven different modes to choose from, including Sport, Drift, Comfort, Range, Track, and two custom modes that allow the driver to mix and match different characteristics to their liking.
Driver Coach powered by AI to assist you in becoming a better driver
The Rimac Nevera will also include the world's first AI Driver Coach, a system that will assess performance and offer advice to help the driver better his or her driving on the track. The Rimac Driving Coach will overlay selected race tracks in real-time and provide clear and precise audio and visual guidance to aid drivers in perfecting their racing lines, braking and acceleration points, and steering inputs using the onboard 12 ultrasonic sensors, 13 cameras, 6 radars, and NVIDIA's Pegasus operating system. The system will be accessible in 2022 as an over-the-air update for vehicles that have already been delivered.
The new electric Rimac Nevera has three high-definition screens in the cabin: one for the instrument cluster, another for the infotainment system, and one for the passenger. Tactile metal rotary knobs and switches are also featured on the dashboard, mixing an analogue feel with onboard digital technology. As an emphasis on the electric hypercar's dual purpose, Rimac claims that the Nevera has room for two occupants in full race gear and their luggage.
Customers will be able to customise the Rimac Nevera with a wide selection of bespoke trims and materials to create a genuinely unique piece. In addition to bespoke projects, the Croatian carmaker will sell multiple variants of the electric hypercar, including GT, Signature, and Timeless.
Production is limited to 150 units, with each unit costing $2.4 million.
“With its combination of everyday usability and 1914hp performance, the Nevera demonstrates what is possible when technology, development, and ambition are unrestricted,” stated Mate Rimac, Founder and CEO of Rimac Automobili. “We have now unveiled a car that pushes the hypercar market to a higher level, we have today utilised the full potential of the electric powertrain, proving what we've always said – that an electric hypercar, in the form of the Nevera, is beyond exciting, and that is as thrilling on the track as it is cossetting crossing continents.”
The new Rimac Nevera will be limited to 150 units and will start at 2 million euros ($2.4 million).
