Rimac Nevera, the world’s quickest electric car, has arrived at the Famoso Dragstrip in California for some epic testing with DragTimes.
After a few teasers here and here, finally we can take a look at the full experience of this quad motor, 1.4 MW beast on the track.
DragTimes takes us through the overview of the car, then does a burnout demonstration and several drag races that resulted in a world record time of 8.582 at 167.51 mph (269.5 km/h).
Results (Michelin Pilot 4S Tires):
- #1 8.74 seconds @ 165.52 mph (without burn out
- #2 8.612 seconds @ 166.99 mph (with burn out)
- Record pass: 8.582 at 167.51 mph (269.5 km/h)
DragTimes appears to be blown away by the Rimac Nevera, and that means a lot from a person that tests a lot of the quickest cars, including the Tesla Model S Plaid.
Speaking of which, the Tesla Model S Plaid will be drag raced against the Rimac Nevera in the next episode!
Let’s recall that the Rimac Nevera can be seen at the Monterey Car Week, Pebble Beach (12-15 August).
