The Rimac Nevera – all 1400kW and 2340Nm of it – is being axed, company founder Mate Rimac has announced. The all-electric hypercar began deliveries in 2022 and a total of 71 have been produced, 20 of which are the even more ridiculously quick Nevera R.

With a planned production run of 150 Neveras, it’s a very early end for the model, which tops out at more than 400km/h. But despite that, Mr Rimac is very satisfied with the job it has done.

“I think it’s still a pretty good achievement. It’s the most-sold electric hypercar in the world,” Rimac said in a social media video. “Without that, there wouldn’t be the Tourbillion today, there wouldn’t be this factory. So, it did its job. I think it’s quite a cool car … that will have its place in history.”

The Bugatti boss said he began developing the Nevera in 2017 with the aim of finding out “how would a car feel if you really take advantage of electric powertrains in the best way – 2000 horsepower, four motors, four-wheel torque vectoring”. 

The result, first known as the C Two concept, and Rimac boasted that it set “23 performance records in a single day” back in May 2023. It went from 0 to 400km/h and back to a full stop again in just 29.93 seconds, held the title of the world’s fastest electric production car and set the EV lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Its 0-100km/h time was just 1.82 seconds, with 200km/h reached in 4.42 seconds, and the 400km/h mark coming up in 21.32 seconds. The quarter mile disappears in just 9.1 seconds.

The Nevera R makes an obscene 1571kW, cuts the quarter-mile time to 8.23 seconds, and hit a top speed of 431.45km/h. On the other hand, that performance comes at a steep price: around $4 million in Aussie money.
