“Brooks helped with his experience of staging the car and we managed to set the world record for the fastest accelerating production car and also beat our own quarter-mile record,” said Miroslav Zrnčević, Test and Development Driver for Rimac. The fast time also came thanks to the experience of DragTimes’ Brooks Weisblat. Secondly, the fastest trip down the strip was set after several hard launches and quick runs, demonstrating the repeatability that the Rimac’s hardware and tech can withstand. Firstly, the Nevera in question was wearing the same factory-spec, roadgoing Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

In fact, if the fastest run alone wasn’t impressive enough, the parameters in which it was set go even further. Nevertheless, the timings are impressive, to say the least. CarScoops has reached out to the company for a comment. However, although Rimac stated in an official release that the times set “can be independently verified by third parties.” it’s unclear if they have been yet. This indeed betters a time of 8.62 seconds recorded during a video for Carwow earlier this year. The relatively new company to the automotive arena, who were recently announced as partners for Bugatti, says that this makes the Nevera the quickest accelerating production car in the world, with both the officials of the Famoso Raceway and the experts from DragTimes present. The company said the run was the “11th of the day in quick succession, without any performance degradation between the runs”. With Brooks Weisblat from DragTimes behind the wheel, the Croatian hypercar set what Rimac are calling a “quarter-mile in a production car world record” time of 8.582 seconds with an exit speed of at a top speed of 167.51mph (269.58 km/h). Debut as part of the Monterey Car Week - has set its fastest time yet. While the claim of the Nevera being the world’s fastest production car has been made before, the Nevera - making its U.S. For a company that was on the brink of collapse within days after its debut back in 2011, Rimac has managed to power through adversity and has given the world an EV hypercar that just won’t stop itself from going faster.
