1914hp Rimac Nevera: My First Hypercar Drive!

Today we get a unique opportunity to drive the production spec Rimac Nevera. After having driven the test mule when I used to work for Rimac back in 2020, this was an extra special occassion for me, to compare the two versions of the car. Thank you very much Goran for assisting me on this drive!

This is a perfect example of how trained Mishas brain is to “grip” and not “drift” even in drift mode he wanted to maintain grip ❤️. It’s like if you take a formula drift guy and put him on the Nurburgring 😂 love it

[@coolguy_2997]

You can train your brain for both, everything just needs practice. A lot of professional Time Attack guys are also often pro drifters. Yet, all rally drivers know how to drift as well. The drivers in the top drifting championships like D1 or Formula Drift came to drift from other racing directions and if they know the N-ring well enough, we will be faster than majority of average racing drivers and certainly faster than all track days amateurs.

[@mnapoletano7723]

The development driver is a drift driver. However he is a killer on a track as well

[@lucaballardini1]

I think it mostly has to do with the car helping. If you're trained to do everything yourself it can be very distracting if the car starts acting in an unexpected manner. Just needs time to adjust to that.

9:30 the car went from going straight at 50 km/h to full sideways 4 wheel drift scaringly fast.

[@ArKritz84]

Well, yeah, in balls-to-the-wall mode it is. Of course, in an ICE car, it'd probably not be as abrupt as this...

[@danigbro]

that speed is the speed that the wheels are moving (wheelspin), is not the “real car speed”

[@n4styplays]

@@danigbro he's talking about the transition from normal driving at 50kmh to a 4 wheel powerslide being super fast. Not the cars speed during the drift. Everyone knows the car is not drifting at 160kmh.

[@thetableflip]

@@danigbro I undedstand it's not going sideways at over 100km/h. But the fact it managed to go full send from a slow speed in an instant is impressive. Even most drift cars have to accelerate first to gain momentum.

This car is an engineering masterpiece, and to an extent that is not really fully appreciated by the car media! All the best to the Rimac team, can´t wait to see what else you guys have in store for us! Would love a somewhat "affordable" 150k car that arcs back to the humble E30 modding beginnings :)

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

So it seems that German engineering or Japanese is not at the top...no wonder Nikola Tesla comes from the Balkans...there are a lot's of excellent minds born there.

[@Bastacat]

The biggest and most unforgiving issue with this car, is that it's basically an electronic toy. It 100% entirely relies on it's computers and sensors. E30 was for a lack of a better word, all analogue, this thing is fully digital, and while it's perfectly fine and all that, god forbid a single nonsensical sensor throws a fit, the whole car will shut down. So yeah, the car might not be really that appreciated because there really is not that much of an actual car.

[@nitroplitvice]

it's piece of shit (copared to other hyper cars) that can't do anything other than straight line. never done any track time.. this car can't warm tyres tru the ring, nevertheless do hot lap.. enjoy your media lies

in my opinion, the silver color suits the car much better, I think that Nico Rosberg should call Mate and arrange the painting...this setup looks slick .

It wasn't real car speed. Speed is calculated from wheel rotation and since it was sliding and slipping, it shows much higher speed that whole car is traveling at. Like in any other electric or internal combustion car.
