FIRST LOOK: 2107hp Rimac Nevera R – 0-60mph in 1.74 seconds!

This isn’t just a faster Rimac Nevera – because that would be ridiculous. No one could possibly want for more power or speed than a Nevera offers. But apparently, would-be customers were telling boss Mate Rimac that while they appreciated the 1888bhp EV hypercar’s comfort and GT abilities, they wanted something a bit bitier in the corners.

Hence the Nevera R arrives, with 15% more downforce, 10% less understeer, and 100% more attitude. Anyone else seeing echoes of Lamborghini Aventador SVJ in that tri-support rear wing? Can you see an echo? Never mind.

Naturally, the R gets more power: new motors mean it’s up to 2078bhp, and good for 0-186mph in less than nine seconds. But is that enough to make hypercar collectors giddy for electric, when they could have a V12 or even a V16 instead? Join Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Kew for a closer look inside and out…
