A RIMAC hypercar has smashed 24 world records, including going from 0 to 249 mph and then coming to a complete stop in just 25 seconds.
The hair-raising Nevera R has been crowned the new 0-400-0 champion, breaking a slew of records in the process.

In just 25.79 seconds, the electric supercar accelerated from standstill to 249mph and back to a halt, beating the previous record by a full 2.04 seconds.
Equipped with a breathtaking quad-motor all-electric powertrain, the Rimac has been labeled “the fastest accelerating production car the world has ever seen.”
Among the new benchmarks set by the electrifying ride is a jaw-dropping 0 to 60mph time of just 1.66 seconds.
During its record-breaking run, the £1.8 million ($2.1 million) Nevera R hit a blistering top speed of 268.2 mph.
Producing an astonishing 2,107 bhp, the Nevera R soared to the top of the performance charts, according to Luxury Auto News.
The dramatic improvement is thanks to a re-engineering of several major components.
A fixed rear wing and enlarged diffuser generate greater downforce while enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.
Meanwhile, Michelin Cup 2 tires reduce understeer and boost lateral grip.
These upgrades work in concert with a next-generation All-Wheel Torque Vectoring system, designed to maximize traction and handling precision.
“When we first introduced Nevera, it almost seemed like the pinnacle of hypercar performance had been reached. In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades,” Mate Rimac, founder and president of the Rimac Group said.
“But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster, while still maintaining much of the comfort and practicality that makes the Nevera a real, usable daily car,” he added.
“Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won’t stop here.”
The Nevera R smashed its own 2023 records, securing its spot at the very top of the EV leaderboard.
The original Nevera already held several elite titles, including the production EV top speed record of 256 mph (412 km/h), a Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb record of 49.32 seconds, and the electric production car lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife at 7:05.298.

NEVERA R METRICS
The Rimac Nevera R doesn’t just edge out the original Nevera — it leaps ahead, according to CarBuzz.
The performance gap is clear across nearly every metric.
The R version cut 1.61 seconds off the 0–200mph time, coming in at 9.25 seconds. It also hit 0–400 km/h (249mph) in 17.35 seconds, nearly four seconds quicker than the standard model.
In the 0–250–0mph test, the Nevera R was over five seconds faster, highlighting massive gains in both acceleration and braking.
It also improved the standing mile time to 19.71 seconds, shaving off almost a full second.
The quarter-mile came in at 7.90 seconds, beating even the drag-ready Dodge Demon 170, and without special tires.
Top speed rose from 256mph to 268.2mph, and it accelerated from 200–300 km/h in just 3.89 seconds.
Each upgrade shows Rimac’s engineering wasn’t just refined, it was reimagined.
