By now I guess we all know about the Rimac Nevera<\/a>, an all-electric hypercar from Croatia built by a company that now works together with Bugatti to create the successor to the Chiron, the Nevera is powered by four electric motors and has already proven itself to be a record-setter, and while only 150 will be built, a lot of them, if not all, have already been sold by the time you are reading this article. By strategically placing a pair of 200 kW electric motors in front and another two 500 kW electric motors in the rear, the engineers were able to give the rear-biased Nevera an ideal 48:52 (front: rear) weight distribution. However, a deeper inspection reveals more intricacies in the design, as the planetary gears for each of the 4 wheels are purposed in such a way that the Nevera is also optimally balanced from left to right as well. Genius.<\/p>\n

And here comes the kicker: those four electric motors are capable of a combined output of no less than 1.4 mW, or 1,914 hp and a massive 2,360 Nm … and get this, going from 0 to 60 mph takes just 1.85 seconds, that could induce some serious neck pain if you ask me, imagine a Nevera Convertible with these figures, that will surely ruin your hair in a hurry, let alone the top speed that is listed at 258 mph or 412 km\/h, and it is still getting better, thanks to a 120 kWh battery you’ll be able to travel 340 miles or 550 km on one charge, while it takes less than 30 minutes to charge from 5% up to 80%.<\/p>\n

And while we’ve seen several videos already on the Rimac Nevera, the crash tests<\/a>, and even a behind-the-scenes look at the factory<\/a>, when Jay Leno talks about this electric hypercar on his YouTube channel Jay Leno’s Garage<\/a>, we just had to watch it, and share it with our audience, this is a different look on the car, and a very interesting, and at the same time, entertaining look, enjoy:<\/p>\n
