The $2.1 million Rimac Nevera is a powerful and easy-to-drive electric hypercar from Croatia. Despite its 1,914 horsepower, the Nevera is surprisingly simple to operate, with user-friendly features and good visibility. The car's four electric motors produce a melodic mechanical sound, and its 120 kWh battery pack provides around 300 miles of range. With a top speed of 258 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 1.74 seconds, the Nevera offers impressive performance and handling. Rimac plans to build only 150 of these exclusive hypercars.
Lotus has unveiled the 2024 Emeya electric hypercar, boasting nearly 1,000 horsepower and a sub-three-second 0-60mph time. With a top speed of 155mph, the Emeya aims to compete with luxury sports cars like the Audi E-tron GT and Porsche Taycan. While specific details such as battery capacity and range have not been disclosed, Lotus claims the Emeya will be similar to its first EV, the Eletre SUV, which had an EPA-estimated range of 310 miles. The Emeya is part of Lotus' plan to introduce three new EVs in the next four years as the company seeks to revitalize its sales and financial performance.
Porsche has unveiled its latest concept car, the Mission X, which is intended to be the fastest road-legal car around the Nurburgring. The all-electric hypercar has a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio and is expected to have over 1,500bhp and weigh 1,500kg. It features a carbon exoskeleton, fighter jet-style glass canopy, and upwards opening doors. The battery is chest-mounted behind the seats, and the car charges twice as fast as the Taycan Turbo S. There is no word on price or build numbers yet, and it is not clear if the car will go into production.
Elon Musk responded with "LOL" when asked if the Tesla Roadster will beat the Rimac Nevera's 0-60 mph record of 1.74 seconds. However, given the insane performance of the Model S Plaid and Model X Plaid, it's not impossible for the Roadster to break the record. The Roadster is expected to feature an evolution of the tri-motor electric powertrain in the current Plaid models and will be lighter and more aerodynamic. The Roadster is expected to launch next year, and while it won't be a huge contributor to revenue, Musk says "it will be sick."
