The 2022 AutomobiliRimac Nevera hypercar is alive:
Rimac is rightfully very proud of the advanced torque vectoring this quad-motor powertrain has facilitated, but we found it wanting in Cruise and Sport modes, where its ability to read the road and make instantaneous decisions about available grip seemed less refined than our own eyeballs and local knowledge. Caution and a conservative approach are of course appreciated with the ruinous potential of 1800-plus horsepower on tap.
Thankfully, beside the above five default modes, there are two other customizable ones. We'd use them to modify the Cruise and Sport settings to have the Track mode's torque vectoring and traction-control permissiveness. Frankly, though, it'd be nice if the car weren't quite so stingy, particularly in Sport mode.The chassis, on the other hand, is otherworldly.
With that kind of platform rigidity, the Nevera's chassis tuners could have created a brutal, track-focused machine. But this car is intended for mere mortals to drive on normal roads, and so the chassis tuning is instead set to be tolerable on poor roads. You can also see this philosophy in the tires, which are 275/35ZR-20 front and 315/35ZR-20 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber that shows a bit of sidewall.
You'll never hear Nico Rosberg, the former F1 champ who took delivery of Rimac #001, complain about interior space. But we found the cabin to be on the tight side for a six-foot-two driver. Headroom is reasonable, but it'd be nice if the seat went back farther. The battery pack and rear firewall prevent that, however, so you'd better not be an NBA star.
The Nevera is every bit the moonshot you'd hope given the price of 2 million euros . And yet, it doesn't feel like a science project. The outrageous output and impressive customizability make its electric powertrain as fascinating as its most potent internal-combustion counterpart. The Nevera makes us optimistic about the future of ultrahigh performance.
