The Croatian company Rimac has presented a new hardcore version of its electric supercar Nevera – Rimac Nevera R. The release of this model is timed to coincide with the Monterey Car Week festival in California.

The new model has improved aerodynamics, reconfigured suspension and a more powerful powerplant with a peak output of 2136 hp, making it the world's most powerful road supercar, motor1.com magazine reports.

The Rimac Nevera R has received a number of improvements that have enhanced its dynamic performance. In particular, the new body fins have increased the downforce by 15%, and the new Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires have increased lateral grip by 5%. Additionally, revised suspension settings and carbon-ceramic brakes have contributed to improved track handling.

Other improvements include a new 108 kWh battery that is lighter and more energy efficient. This change allowed to maintain a range of up to 490 km on a single charge according to the WLTP cycle, while the top speed remained at 412 km/h. Rimac Nevera R also impresses with its acceleration dynamics: 0-100 km/h in 1.81 seconds and 0-300 km/h in 8.66 seconds.

The company plans to produce only 40 copies of the Nevera R, and the expected price may exceed 2.5 million euros, making this model an exclusive offer for supercar connoisseurs. This is a significant update from Rimac, which may increase the demand for electric supercars in the luxury segment of the market.

In the future, Rimac plans to introduce a new track single-seater supercar that will not be technically related to Nevera, which adds intrigue to the company's future announcements.
