Top Gear's latest video features CEOs of Koenigsegg, Singer, and Rimac driving each other's high-performance cars on a track, showcasing the unique engineering and sound of these exotic vehicles, with a promise of a future discussion episode.
The Bugatti Tourbillon features a unique sound system that uses piezoelectric elements to vibrate the car's carbon-fiber chassis, effectively turning it into a giant speaker, which offers weight savings and improved sound quality compared to traditional systems.
Sales of gas-powered sports cars have surged as automakers transition to electric vehicles. Bugatti's Mistral, a $5 million roadster with a 16-cylinder engine, sold out quickly after the announcement that the brand would be going electric. Bentley, Audi, and Mercedes are also phasing out their high-performance engines in favor of electric powertrains. While some enthusiasts are skeptical about the driving experience of electric vehicles, experts argue that electric sports cars can be just as engaging and even outperform their gas-powered counterparts. However, there is still a market for gas-powered sports cars, with Ferrari and Lamborghini continuing to produce vehicles with big engines.
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.
Rimac's electric hypercar, the Nevera, broke 23 performance world records in a single day at the Automotive Testing Papenburg facility in Germany, including going from 0 to 60 mph in 1.74 seconds and reaching a top speed of 249 mph before coming to a stop in 29.93 seconds. The records were independently verified by Dewesoft and RaceLogic. Rimac is currently producing a run of 150 Nevera hypercars in Croatia.
Rimac's electric hypercar, the Nevera, has broken 23 performance records in a single day at Germany's Automotive Testing Papenburg facility, including the fastest 0-249 mph time of 21.31 seconds. The records were independently verified by third-party companies Dewesoft and RaceLogic. The Nevera even outperformed its official 0-60 mph acceleration spec of 1.85 seconds, clocking in at 1.74 seconds. Rimac plans to produce 150 units of the Nevera, estimated to cost $2.4 million each.
Rimac's Nevera EV set 23 speed records, including a new 0-400-0 km/h record and an 8.25-second quarter mile time. The Croatian hypercar's 1,888 hp and 1,741 lb-ft of torque were sent to road-legal Michelin Cup 2 R tires for the record runs. The Nevera's 29.93-second time to reach 400 km/h and back to zero again beat the previous record holder by over a second. Rimac claims this combined test of traction, acceleration, power, aerodynamics, braking force, and grip is the ultimate measure of a hypercar's straight-line performance.
