| Nevera: a super electric sports car with 1,900 horsepower |
After the first presentation of its concept at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Rimac has developed a mass-produced electric supercar called the Nevera.
The Nevera uses four electric motors—one for each wheel—to generate about 1.4 megawatts of power, which, according to Rimac, equates to about 1,914 horsepower.
The all-wheel drive system takes the car from a standstill to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in just 1.85 seconds.
It has a top speed of 415 kilometers per hour and is powered by a 120 kW battery.
Most importantly, Rimac has been improving its liquid cooling system for batteries over the past three years. As a result, the driver can use this peak performance for a longer time.
Rimac has developed a new all-wheel drive torque vectoring system that is primarily used as an electronic stability and traction control system.
The software can perform more than 100 calculations per second to adapt the torque level to the desired driving style.
The Rimac-designed Nevera can dynamically adjust the balance of braking force between the friction brakes of the wheels and the regenerative brakes of the electric motor.
Nevera Features:
Rimac has developed the AI Driver Coach feature to optimize and improve the driver's performance on the track.
This function uses 12 ultrasonic sensors, 6 radars, and 13 cameras.
This feature does this by providing lane-specific audio and visual cues, including when to brake, where to turn, and when to accelerate out of the curve.
The company produces only 150 Nevera vehicles, with a starting price of $2.4 million per vehicle. Much of this award goes to Nevera technology.
The chassis is the largest monolithic carbon fiber in the automotive industry and, according to the company, significantly reduces weight and improves safety.
The chassis also includes an H-shaped battery pack to maintain a low center of gravity and increase overall structural rigidity.
To ensure a smooth ride, the Nevera is equipped with double suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers.
On the other hand, in the cockpit there are three screens: the driver's screen, the horizontal touch screen in the center console and the front passenger screen.
There is also an app that provides real-time tracking data and the ability to download remote tracking so drivers can analyze their performance.
Customers can choose from a wide range of custom finishes and materials.
On the other hand, Rimac offers different versions of the cars: GT, Signature and Timeless, or customers can choose to order.
In addition, Rimac said that every buyer is invited to Croatia to customize his car as he wants.
