  • Chris tests out the astonishing Rimac Nevera, an electric two-seater that might just be the fastest car on the planet. The 1,888bhp electric hypercar features a 6,960-cell, 120kWh battery powering four surface-mounted permanent magnet motors driving each wheel.
    Now, we all know that electric cars are great in a straight line, but what makes the Nevera stand out is its ability to go sideways like nothing else, as Chris Harris finds out...

      2000hp vs 800hp, what did you expect? If we consider a 2000hp Nissan GTR, it 100-200 2.4s and 200-300 3.52s vs Nevera 100-200 in 2.59s and 200-300 in 4,81s, just to make u realise that the value is almost only in the 2000hp. Nevera vs Aventador SVJ is an unequal comparison

      @@4mori77 Where do they sell 2000hp Nissan GTR's? Oh, and have they manage to make one yet that doesn't blow up on the second run? Comparing this to what is essentially a ruined one trick pony ricer is a much more ridiculous comparison than the Aventador SVJ.
      The point wasn't that it managed to beat the Lambo, the point was that Rimac's second production car makes one of the fastest cars Lambo has ever made, look like a Prius.

I still hold the P1 and 918 Spyder is high esteem, though they will take as equal a hammering against the Nevera. That car is now long gone into the future and I don't think anything else is about to catch it. Just look at that drift with full power sent to all 4 wheels obliterating the tyres which has now become a norm in the test runs by journalists and enthusiasts. With Porsche taking a bite into the Rimac pie and Rimac having Bugatti for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it will be exciting times to see how these other brands evolve in sharing or developing tech with each other.

    It is a real energy boost when you watch the "300m distance catch up race" with the cinematic background that pumps the feeling of happiness (next to O2) in the blood arteries.
    This video was first aired on 30 October 2022. Six months ago, Top Gear gave us a taste (on CZcams) of a two minute and a half long video, and to see it fully (also on CZcams) after such a time, and after Rimac undoubtedly achieved >20 records**, is a smart move 😎 by Top Gear. I would not be surprised to see them re-test the Nevera soon on the Top Gear Track. They have explicitly hinted at that in S33 E01. Hence, Top Gear is not yet done with the Nevera, and it is 'coming soon' time (maybe this time, it could be the Nevera with the green stripes that broke the records)!
    Though the video did not mention the mode that the Nevera was on during the 2 races (or maybe I missed it 🫣). I think it was on "Track" mode - looking at the Nevera's red colour of (a) the instrument cluster and (b) the LED side lights.
    To have more and more context 😉, it would have been great to see a number of races with the Nevera's different modes (Drift mode excluded - we need you safe Chris 🙃).
    With the 'Revuelto' being now in town, the fans of Top Gear deserve to watch attempt 2 with the 'Revuelto' and attempt 3 with the 'Revuelto SVJ'. The Nevera will most likely - if not certainly - win; however, it is the winning margin that the viewers and followers will be interested in.
    **Note: if you are a regular visitor of Rimac's website, you will notice that the performance figures have been updated (since the car launch) after the Nevera set the new records.

    Cars like the Rimac Nevera truly give me hope for the future of the automobile. There are not many gearheads who wouldn't find this appealing on at least some levels and although it's way to expensive for most of us to ever entertain buying, you can be certain that the trickle-down of this type of technology and power to levels that the rest of us might be able to afford will be coming sooner than later. I would love to have a 2000+ horsepower car like this with all those awesome driving modes. The automotive future looks bright again!

      Well, he has a old BMW with initial electric powerplant, with which he started as a hobby, maybe even few with advanced e-powerplant for testing, like torque vectoring, maybe when you visit Croatia, go to their headquarters, they do open day for public, tour of cars and such, maybe he would sell you one of testing car's, which don't cost a fortune, or maybe see how much would cost to put their e-powerplant and some hard/software in your car, i bet they would make that happen, because they are not greedy , but have the high end product, which is future, trending and have a high value. I've been there, when the first was rolled out, and Mate Rimac is a quite nice, down to earth, inteligent person, and the whole team, is like big family, but happier, so you could have a chance.

    Indeed car from another world. Can't compare it with any other car in the world. When I saw that every piece was engineered from scratch was mindblowing... and all this was produced 20km from my home;-)

    That Lambo looked like my Golf when it raced the Rimac. Wow, crazy how slow it looks in comparison. Rimac is such a wild car. I love the brand. All that said, combustion engines for life!

    Rimac is al 15 years building his cars. Nevera is just the master peace and the crown of his work. He also bought Bugatti company. Can you imagine what new projects are going to emerge out of it.

      ​@@markoklarica7532It would be slow this thing weights over 2 tons. That's why they only tested it against Lambo in a straight line. Lambo would be quicker around the track all day.
