Elon Musk has hinted that the next-generation Tesla Roadster will beat Rimac Nevara's newly achieved performance records. Musk stated that the engineering and design of the new Roadster will be completed this year, with production hopefully starting next year. The car will be equipped with the "SpaceX package," which includes cold air thrusters to improve acceleration and handling. Musk was asked if the new Roadster would beat the Nevara's 0-60 mph acceleration record, to which he simply replied "lol."
Rimac's electric hypercar, the Nevera, has set 23 new performance records, including a 0-60 mph time of 1.74 seconds and a 0-400-0 km/h time of 29.93 seconds, breaking the 30-second barrier. The Nevera can even outrun the Tesla Model S Plaid. Rimac, which now part-owns Bugatti and is part-owned by Porsche, set the records at the Automotive Testing Papenburg center in Germany, with independent organizations verifying the times. Rimac is building 150 Neveras, priced at $2 million each.
