That’s right; Rimac Nevera has set not one, not two, but 23 performance world records—all in a single day. This, of course, includes breaking the 0-400-0 km/h (0-249-0 mph) record that previously belonged to Koenigsegg. The records were broken at the Automotive Testing Papenburg (ATP) facility in Germany using its 4.0 km (2.49-mile) straights, and independently verified by Dewesoft and RaceLogic.
The record-setting car was equipped with road-legal Michelin Cup 2 R tires, and it has to be noted that all acceleration records were completed with a standard one-foot rollout and on non-prepped asphalt. The full list of records:
| Tests | Racelogic | Dewesoft |
| 0-60 mph | 1.74 seconds | 1.74 seconds |
| 0-100 km/h | 1.82 seconds | 1.81 seconds |
| 0-200 km/h | 4.42 seconds | 4.42 seconds |
| 0-300 km/h | 9.23 seconds | 9.22 seconds |
| 0-400 km/h | 21.32 seconds | 21.31 seconds |
| 100-200 km/h | 2.59 seconds | 2.59 seconds |
| 200-300 km/h | 4.81 seconds | 4.79 seconds |
| 200-250 km/h | 2.00 seconds | 2.00 seconds |
| 100-0 km/h (distance) | 29.12 metres | 28.96 metres |
| 0-100-0 km/h | 4.03 seconds | 3.99 seconds |
| 0-200-0 km/h | 8.85 seconds | 8.86 seconds |
| 0-300-0 km/h | 15.68 seconds | 15.70 seconds |
| 0-400-0 km/h | 29.94 seconds | 29.93 seconds |
| 1/4 mile | 8.26 seconds | 8.25 seconds |
| 1/8 mile | 5.46 seconds | 5.44 seconds |
| 1/2 mile | 12.82 seconds | 12.83 seconds |
| Standing mile | 20.62 seconds | 20.59 seconds |
| 0-100 mph | 3.23 seconds | 3.21 seconds |
| 0-120 mph | 4.19 seconds | 4.19 seconds |
| 0-130 mph | 4.74 seconds | 4.75 seconds |
| 0-250 mph | 21.89 seconds | 21.86 seconds |
| 60-130 mph | 2.99 seconds | 2.99 seconds |
| 0-200 mph | 10.86 seconds | 10.86 seconds |
Until the Rimac Nevera came along, the 0-400-0 km/h record was held by the Koenigsegg Regera; the Swedish hypercar took 31.49 seconds (in 2019), beating its own sibling’s record by 5.79 seconds. If you do a quick math, the Nevera beat Regera by 1.55 seconds in the 0-400-0 km/h test.
Today, I am proud to say that the car we’ve created can get to 400 km/h and back to 0 in less time than it took the McLaren F1 to accelerate up to 350 km/h. And not only that, but it can do it again and again, breaking every other performance record in the process. If you had a Nevera and access to a track, you could do it too. – Mate Rimac
