The Rimac Nevera is a powerful machine, producing 1,914 horsepower and 1,740 lb-ft of torque. The all-electric supercar can accelerate to 60 mph in 1.85 seconds and reach a top speed of 258 mph thanks to four electric motors. These figures are remarkable, and they translate into genuinely outstanding results.

Rimac is putting the battery-powered behemoth through its paces ahead of client delivery by drifting it at high speeds in sub-zero temperatures. Pirelli's Sottozero Centre, located near the Arctic Circle in Sweden, was used for testing, where experts were able to fine-tune essential systems such as ABS, ESP, and torque vectoring thanks to the cold conditions. Customers need to know that the Nevera can withstand the worst conditions. "Our validation prototype operated flawlessly for a two-week period at temperatures around -15°C (5°F) and a pretty rigorous testing regime, demonstrating that all of our key technologies can perform reliably even in harsh conditions," stated CEO Mate Rimac.

The driver assistance systems weren't the only ones who had to prove their worth. Rimac put the Nevera through its paces with Pirelli's P Zero Winter winter tires, which the company recommends. This one-of-a-kind rubber has a special emblem on the sidewall that denotes Pirelli and Rimac's cooperative development work.

Miroslav Zrncevic, the company's Chief Test and Development Driver, explained that testing on a low-grip surface lets the team to better understand how the various systems work in colder environments. "Things move at a lot slower pace than they would on asphalt, and we have beautiful, uniform, smooth handling tracks, so we know the data we get isn't influenced by surface defects or temperature variations."

A meticulously crafted supercar is shaping up to be the world's fastest accelerating production automobile over a quarter-mile. The strikingly styled supercar has previously been submitted to rigorous crash tests, which it passed with flying colors. We should expect the Nevera to be a tough-as-nails supercar based on the abuse it received during development.

The Nevera is a one-of-a-kind automobile that will be limited to only 150 units. Don't worry if you have the skills but didn't make the cut. Two new Bugatti Rimac supercars were recently previewed by the newly formed Bugatti Rimac joint venture. The Bugatti may be an electrified baby brother for the Chiron in its later years, but the covered Rimac might very well be a more hardcore version of the Nevera, as we've previously speculated. Perhaps it will launch as a more dynamic, track-focused derivative.
