Rimac took the covers off the production version of its 2018 concept early June, with the final car delivering impressive specifications and mind-blowing performance—like a zero-to-96-km/h pull of 1.85 seconds.

Previously known as the C_Two concept, the hypercar has evolved into the Nevera, a word local Croatians use to describe a Mediterranean storm that can be quick, unexpected, and mighty.

“This is it. This is the car I had in mind when I embarked on the ‘impossible’ journey 10 years ago. All of our hard work has resulted in the Nevera, our record-breaking hypercar,” said company founder Mate Rimac.

The backbone of the Nevera is its 440-pound carbon-fibre monocoque, which Rimac says is the largest single piece of carbon fibre used in the car industry.

Integrated into the chassis is a liquid-cooled lithium-manganese-nickel battery pack, which helps in giving the car a 48/52 front-rear weight distribution.

Performance is the name of the game in the Nevera, and its four electric motors produce a total of 1,914 horsepower and 1,740 pound-feet of torque, enough to complete the zero-to-60-mph (-96 km/h) sprint in just 1.85 seconds, on to a top speed of 258 mph (415 km/h). The battery pack consists of a 120-kilowatt-hour 6,960-cell battery, and provides a range of 350 miles (563 km).

Just 150 units of the supercar will be built, but that’s a significant step up from the single-digit production number of its first vehicle, the Concept_One. Rimac recently hired its 1,000th employee, and will hope to grow that number to 2,500 in order to expand operations. Price for the Nevera is set at €2 million (CDN$3 million), and is road-legal around the world.
