Car manufacturer Rimac Automobili revealed this week that the Nevera electric supercar broke the speed record with a top speed of 411 km/h. The impressive score achieved by the car has made it the fastest mass-produced electric car in the world. The record was set on October 28 at the Testing Papenburg circuit in Germany, but the company published the official result just recently.

To set the speed record, Nevera had to be placed on an oval race track where the straights were long enough to reach speeds of up to 411 km/h. However, one correct track will not be enough if the machine is not was equipped with a four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1914 hp. All this allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just two seconds.

The speed reached by Rimak’s car was determined using Racelogic’s V-Box. It uses highly accurate GPS measurement, lending even more credibility to the result presented this week by the automaker. The 411 km/h achieved by the car was exactly what the manufacturer was aiming for when it introduced the Nevera at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

“It wasn’t until Miro took his foot off the accelerator, safely bringing the Nevera back to a more normal speed, that the news came on the radio. enough to make the Nevera the world record holder for the fastest production electric car, as well as the fastest car ever registered in Automotive Testing Papenburg,” Rimac said of the experience of Miro Zrnevi, the manufacturer’s test driver.

New equipment that allows you to use the car more efficiently

When presented at the Geneva Motor Show, Nevera was named C_Two. With the new name, the car was supposed to grab the attention of engineers within three years so that the battery’s liquid-cooling system could allow drivers to use the car’s maximum power for longer before they had problems due to heat.

“Accelerate to 412 km / h or 256 miles per hour means moving at a speed equal to one third of the speed of sound. To achieve this in a street car is incredibly difficult, but with Nevera we have created a car that can cover long distances. distances with a single load, can tackle tight and twisty racetracks, as well as break straight-line speed records in both acceleration and top speed,” Miró said.

The technology featured in Nevera is also very helpful to the pilots of the car. This is because the car manufacturer’s engineers developed a four-wheel torque distribution system. This makes it an electronic stability and traction control system. As such, the software is capable of over 100 calculations per second, according to Rimac himself, in order to tailor the torque level to achieve the desired driving style.
