Rimac Nevera R Debuts As the World’s Fastest Production Electric Hypercar with top speed 217 mph: Reports
Rimac, the Croatian Electric Vehicle manufacturer that ascended from a garage to become a supercar and technology powerhouse has merged with French car manufacturer Bugatti and has upgraded its Nevera hypercar. And along the way, Rimac has managed to add more fuel and power into it.

The features of this car, it produces a 2107 amount of raw horsepower, can reach a top speed of 217 miles an hour or even 256 miles an hour under Rimac Oversight. It can gear up from 0 to 60 mph in 1.74 seconds.
The specs seem to appear to support Rimac’s goal for the R that stands for radical, rebellious and relentless. The Nevera R’s larger wheels in the rear, extremely low noise, high rear fixed wing and carbon fibre structure makes it a package for what a hypercar should stand for.

The CEO said, “Nobody missed power in the Nevera. But we decided to, you know, squeeze a little bit more out so that we could still get out of the car. And of course gave it a more aggressive, even more interesting design than before.”
The EV manufacturer will only produce 40 units of Rimac Nevera R units having a base price of 2.3 million pounds or $2.5 million in today’s exchange rate.
