The Nevera R represents an evolution of the record-breaking Nevera, meticulously engineered for enhanced cornering dynamics and track performance while retaining its formidable straight-line acceleration. Featuring the next-generation Rimac All-Wheel Torque Vectoring, advanced braking system, and a performance-oriented battery, the Nevera R unleashes 2,107 hp. This enhanced configuration allows it to achieve 300 km/h (186 mph) in a remarkable 8.66 seconds, surpassing even the original Nevera’s already impressive straight-line capability.
“The original Nevera was conceived as a Grand Tourer, balancing exhilarating performance with spaciousness, comfort, and accessibility,” stated Mate Rimac, Founder and President of the Rimac Group, CEO of Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology. “It achieved a perfect equilibrium, setting new benchmarks in automotive performance as the world’s first production all-electric hypercar. However, in response to customer demand for a vehicle that further emphasizes cornering prowess through advanced technology, we developed the Nevera R. It embodies the core DNA of the record-setting Nevera but is lighter, faster, and more singularly focused on performance.”
Rimac designers and engineers undertook a comprehensive re-evaluation of the Nevera’s characteristics, re-engineering key components to elevate its hyper sports car credentials. The Nevera R boasts more focused driving dynamics, a performance-optimized battery, increased power output, and advanced braking technology, all complemented by a visually striking aesthetic that communicates its performance intent.
The exterior design of the Nevera R emphasizes clean surfaces and optimized proportions, presenting a lower, sleeker profile with a forward-thrusting stance. This is accentuated by its 21-inch rear and 20-inch front wheels. The front fascia is engineered for both visual impact and aerodynamic efficiency, with horizontal lines that underscore its stance and width. This design is the result of close collaboration between design and engineering teams, seamlessly integrating sensual surfacing with precise graphical elements. The side profile exhibits a harmonious interplay of body color and carbon fiber, contributing to its dynamic and timeless silhouette. The wheel designs feature extended spokes to accentuate their size and distinct color splits. A prominent fixed rear wing, coupled with an aggressive aerodynamic package including a new, larger diffuser, enhances downforce by 15% and aerodynamic efficiency by 10%. Equipped with new Michelin Cup 2 tires, the Nevera R experiences a 10% reduction in total understeer, a 5% increase in lateral grip, and a 3.8-second improvement in lap time around the Nardo Handling Track. This combination of negative camber, elevated tire grip, and increased downforce equips the Nevera R to redefine the limits of automotive physics, with every element meticulously crafted through a performance-driven design philosophy for optimal agility and handling.
The Nevera R delivers amplified performance with a heightened emphasis on driver engagement. Its revised generation All-Wheel Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV) system, retuned to maximize the potential of its high-performance tires, provides sharper and more precise cornering. The increased downforce contributes to enhanced stability and lateral performance, establishing a new benchmark for driving exhilaration on challenging roads and occasional track excursions. The traction control system has been recalibrated to broaden the capabilities of the R-AWTV, ensuring predictability even in adverse conditions. Drift mode has been optimized for the new tires, and the steering system has been refined for a more immediate response and crisper driver feedback.
Built around the next-generation 108kWh Rimac battery pack, the Nevera R utilizes cutting-edge technology to deliver increased power and efficiency within a lighter architecture. With 2,107 hp on tap, it eclipses the straight-line performance of the original record-holding Nevera. The new EVO2 brakes, constructed with carbon ceramic and a silicone matrix layer, ensure superior stopping power, enhanced cooling, and increased durability under demanding conditions.

Available in Nebula green, the Nevera R visually evolves the Rimac narrative, translating the Time Attack’s Lightning Green accents into a new color scheme for both interior and exterior elements. The driver-centric, highly customizable interior of the Nevera has been enhanced with additional color and trim options. Painted carbon fiber elements, such as the main dashboard structure and center console trims, can be specified to match the exterior color or be personalized according to customer preference.
Production of the Nevera R will be strictly limited to 40 units globally.
