Rimac Automobili has unveiled a new, audacious member of the Nevera lineup: the Nevera R. This thrilling iteration serves as the aggressive counterpart to the original Nevera, transforming it from a Hyper GT into a full-fledged Hyper Sportscar. True to Rimac's brand ethos—Radical, Rebellious, and Relentless—the Nevera R represents the pinnacle of performance and design.
Revolutionary Design and Engineering Enhancements
The Nevera R boasts a meticulously engineered design that emphasizes both agility and handling. Rimac's designers and engineers revisited the Nevera's core characteristics, pushing the boundaries of what a hypercar can achieve. With a more performance-oriented battery system, advanced brakes, and an updated Rimac All-Wheel Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV) system, the Nevera R is built for superior cornering. It surpasses the record-breaking straight-line performance of its predecessor, reaching 300 km/h (186 mph) in just 8.66 seconds.
Performance-Driven Aesthetics and Aerodynamics
Visually, the Nevera R exudes a lower, sleeker profile with a forward-thrusting stance, accentuated by 21-inch rear wheels and 20-inch front wheels. The front end is designed to be both striking and functional, integrating aerodynamic efficiency with a sense of power. This design was achieved through close collaboration between designers and engineers, seamlessly blending sensual surfacing with precise graphics. The side view showcases a perfect balance of body color and carbon fiber, contributing to the car’s dynamic, timeless profile.

Enhanced Dynamics for Superior Handling
The Nevera R’s performance enhancements extend beyond its power. The new Michelin Cup 2 tires, combined with an aggressive aero package, including a large fixed rear wing and a new diffuser, improve downforce by 15% and aerodynamic efficiency by 10%. This setup reduces total understeer by 10% and increases lateral grip by 5%, resulting in a lap time reduction of 3.8 seconds around the Nardo Handling Track. These enhancements make the Nevera R capable of delivering a driving experience that defies the laws of physics.

Unmatched Power and Speed
Built around Rimac's next-generation 108kWh battery pack, the Nevera R harnesses cutting-edge technology to deliver unprecedented power and efficiency. With 2,107 horsepower on tap, the car sets new benchmarks for acceleration and speed. The Nevera R can reach a top speed of 412 km/h (256 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 1.81 seconds. It covers the quarter mile in a blistering 8.23 seconds, further solidifying its status as a hypercar icon.

Limited Production and Customization
The Nevera R is as exclusive as it is powerful, with a production run limited to just 40 units worldwide. Launched in the striking Nebula Green, this hypercar is a visual evolution of the Rimac story, offering new color palettes and ultra-customizable interior options. The driver-focused cockpit features painted carbon elements that can match the exterior or be personalized to the owner's preference, ensuring each Nevera R is a unique masterpiece.
CEO Mate Rimac on the Nevera R's Purpose
Mate Rimac, founder and CEO of Rimac Group, highlighted the Nevera R's significance, stating, "When we developed the Nevera, we wanted it to be a Grand Tourer—spacious, comfortable, and balanced between thrilling and accessible. But we listened to our customers who wanted more emphasis on cornering ability, leveraging all the advanced technology on board. The Nevera R is our response: lighter, faster, and more focused, embodying all the DNA of the record-breaking Nevera."
The Rimac Nevera R not only redefines hypercar performance but also sets a new standard in design and engineering, making it a true marvel in the world of automotive innovation.
