Record-Breaking Rimac Nevera R Stuns Goodwood Hillclimb
Rimac’s record-breaking Nevera R roared onto the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb for its world dynamic debut, fresh from shattering 24 performance records and seizing the title of fastest-accelerating production car with a peerless 0-400 km/h-0 run.
Chief Test and Development Driver Miroslav Zrnčević powered the 2,107 hp electric hypercar up the 1.16-mile course twice each day, exploiting a sharpened aero package, grippier tyres, extra power and refined torque vectoring to thrill packed grandstands.
The Nevera R dominated Rimac’s dedicated display in the Supercar Paddock, giving festival-goers their first close look at the brand’s new design language, characterised by clean surfaces and perfect proportions. Horizontal front lines accentuate aerodynamic efficiency, stance, and width, while a fixed rear spoiler and large diffuser lift downforce by 15 per cent, enhancing stability through Goodwood’s sweeping curves.
"Goodwood Festival of Speed always seems to be somewhere we come to celebrate our milestones; we brought the Concept_One to the hill right back in 2017, broke the EV production car hill record with the Nevera, and marked our 15th anniversary with the debut of the 15th Anniversary Edition in 2024. Even amongst the most amazing collection of historic cars and the latest modern hypercars of Goodwood, there’s something special about knowing we’ve got the fastest accelerating production car there – just the latest milestone in the Rimac journey,” said Mate Rimac, Founder and President of the Rimac Group, CEO of Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology.
Capped at only 40 units worldwide, the Nevera R distils Rimac’s electric hypercar expertise into its most focused road-going form, delivering a savage 1.66-second 0-60 mph launch and razor-sharp cornering without compromising everyday comfort or usability.
