Bending Physics: Nevera Nürburgring EV lap record onboard |

Fresh from breaking 23 records in a single day and conquering the world-famous Goodwood hillclimb with an all-time best, the Rimac Nevera today broke the Nürburgring Nordschleife lap record for a production EV, setting a hugely competitive time of 7:05.298! ​
The Nevera is now among the fastest production cars ever on the famously testing 20.8km-long track - a feat made even more impressive because the Nevera is primarily developed as a hyper GT, rather than a car built to devour racetracks.
Buckle up for the uninterrupted, record-smashing, onboard lap with Croatian racing driver Martin Kodrić​.

Rimac Nevera: WLTP: electricity consumption, combined 30.0 KWh/100km; CO2 emissions: combined in g/km: 0

Sadly the weight is limiting still a lot. This 2000BHP beast is slower than a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS (982 series with 493 BHP) on the Nordschleife (7.04.511 min.) and not even close to a Mercedes-AMG ONE (6.30.705 min.) or Porsche GT2 RS MR (6.38.835 min.). Basically because of the weight. When Rimac will get below 1600 / 1500kg I bet the times are going to be insane. Please don't see this as "hate"... I absolutely love Rimac and the Nevera. I'm just stunned by how much the weight seems to be holding the car back.

[@TheElectricGhost]

Misha commented above. Looks like they did this lap in hot weather and the tires were basically melting🤣. In better conditions it could probably run sub 7 mins

[@alexvabec]

Rimac can made Neverinu or light version with tyres just for tracks - but he wants usable car for travelling... 33 kw or 37 kw battery will be enough for fast lap with dragster tyres... but laptime is not Nevera first purpose

[@Baltazar921]

I think that on that track a lot depends on the driver!

[@george.keller]

@@TheElectricGhost would be interesting to know if the ran the Michelin 4s or a proper track tyre like the cup 2 or cup 2 R, this lap seams kind of slow from my point of view

[@joshflorence1998]

This car has no downforce, that is the largest issue here, not weight. Though weight would certainly play a role. Personally, I want to see the Speirling do a lap, if its battery can last the distance. It's 600kg lighter than this, has 1000hp, and has a monstrous amount of downforce. Of course, that isn't a road car, but still.

[@rinokl]

Congrats to the entire @rimacautomobili team on this record! Straightline speed and acceleration is out of this world, but I can't help but notice that car struggles holding the speed through curves. I saw Misha mentioning it was hot and tyres were melting and yeah, on colder day tyres would probably struggle a bit less and a bit more time could be shaved-off, but most of the issues for tyres and cornering comes from extremely high weight of the car. Now it's clear that Nevera can never be made nowhere near as light as ICE track-focused cars, but I'm still wondering if there are any plans to produce at least limited series of more track focused car. A lot of weight could probably be shaved by stripping the luxury interior, billet svitches, knobs etc.... interior aircon, infotainment system, face-recognition, autonomous driving and similar non-essential computers, sensors, radars, cameras and their wiring etc. Some other components could probably be made lighter too when all the listed stuff would be removed. This would leave more juice for the motors, it would further increase the acceleration and most importantly, less mass means more speed through the curves.... top speed limiter could also be raised a bit more too duet to lower tyre stress. After all.... all the other brands are mostly sending track-focused versions of their cars, with all non-essentials stripped, to the ring too. I have mad respect for all those systems incorporated into the car too as I'm sure a lot of time and effort has gone into it. but the truth is, those are non-essential technology demonstrators and they are probably heavily biting into the cars performance.

[@stoneeh]

3:34 1:06 6:29 all over the place 4:13 4:52 ouch! Laptime slower than a Porsche GT3 with 1/4 the power. Still, props to the driver for this massive display of balls. And to Rimac, for not hiding (like for example Bugatti) and showing us how their car performs at something it was NOT made to do.

[@seesiedler1]

The GT3 car probably generates a bit more downforce and since there are lots of corners here it makes sense. And the Rimca is of course lots heavier. But it looks like there is still some time in it.

And if Tesla decided to sacrifice battery longevity (like Rimac) and added one more of the same carbon sleeved motors to the Roadster (4 motor config), it will already be faster and probably lighter than Nevera. Cooling design so far is another big advantage in Tesla as they use 1 in the Plaid (octovalve and some clever solutions) while Nevera uses 5 seperated coolers and this results in 2300kg even with largest carbon monocoque in the industry and 3 million budget per car...

@@williamthornton5856 The F1 comparison is also a bit silly as the last time they race there was 1976 which is a 42 year gap form when the 919 evo set the current record in 2018.

Congrats on the record. 👏👏 Looking forward to see Rimac break the 7-minute barrier.

[@carlospacheco8640]

They will probably need an additional 500hp to do that.

[@Shadowed007]

​@@carlospacheco8640Another attempt on cold conditions is enough, have you watched Formula 1? the cars lose 1-1.5 seconds worth lap time when the track temperature rises. Now Imagine 50C celsius melting off tires of heavy EV, it would have lost more than 5 seconds due to extreme temperatures itself.

[@user-sq1hs3io1d]

cars next generation is coming. never imagine years ago past. and also can not imagine cars future too. its sensational.

[@dantethomas7964]

True, if 2000hp cars cant beat 500hp ICE cars....thats going to be a slow future.

Throwback to Grade 5 me obsessed with the C1 and reading about the up and coming C2. Today I am in college and you guys are the only company I've been consistently been in love with. Well done on all your achievements, maybe one day I'll be one of you best mechanics if not racing driver, NIVERA per lap.

I saw the car a week before the record at the Ring! The foreshadowing...

[@Arpedk]

Amazing thermal systems, +1200 kW on acceleration and 400 kW on deceleration and no overheating... well done Rimac! Both Tesla Model S Plaid and especially Porsche Taycan Turbo S is overheating like crazy. When do you expect a sub-7 minute time? Did look like the car was a little unstable at some of the highspeed corners.

[@eyeles]

Amazing!! What an weird combo of speed and sound without an engine screaming or roaring! Corner speed is insane! There's easily a sub 7 lap in there.

Absolute mega result considering the car was not designed for track use and certainly don’t suit the Nurburgring track. Well done Rimac🎉

[@user-vg3ou9ol5x]

The amazing part is that there's a lot of time still to be made based on this lap

[@enolopanr9820]

I wonder how much battery was left. If you are optimizing a battery for racing, you might not need a super big battery for long range. You could save hundreds of pounds and shave off seconds easy.

[@jostrander71]

A lot? The guy driving is a pro. He has lapped this car many times. He was going for a record. I doubt he was holding back.

[@N5grk1p]

The AMG one did 30+ seconds faster in damp conditions

[@pauln0371]

Amazing achievement guys. Shame the conditions weren't on your side for a sub 7 though. I'm sure you'll be back to do it in the near future👍👍👍

[@CLCIII]

The wildest thing to me is that he only used 100% throttle certianly no more than 25% of the lap. Probably close to 20% or less. I hope that someone with a computer and the ability could figure that out and share the actual % # here. The tires and traction limits were the limiting factor as the car obviously had WAAAY more in it. Truly an amazing machine and a real showcase for electric technology! The future is electic and the future looks good! 😊 👏🏻 🎉👏🏻 As Always, May God Bless you and yours!

Dont you hate it when the speed limiter kicks in... At 350km/h!! 😂

This honestly makes me scared of the future, the turns are where the fun is at for me and this is just all over the place because of its massive weight. Got to invest in a good car now before they are all gone.

[@diegobert4033]

The future sounds booooorinng

[@__-xf3iw]

i think over the next years we will see a massive decrease in Batteryweight. which will improve these Lap Times by a lot.

[@TimothyApe]

The weight per kwh is already decreasing year by year for EVs and forecasted to drop by another 50% until 2030. It is just that the manufacturers prioritize range over weight right now. The battery of the Nevera contains the kwh of 5 Nissan leafs :D

[@InvokePerformance]

Wow incredible footage! The power levels expressed in this video are astronomical I can only imagine what it might feel like to be a passenger during this lap .

It's amazing to me how much of the time you're using no throttle, it's hard to wrap my head around the mind-boggling speeds.

Watching and hearing an EV do 200-300 kmh weaving around a track is soo relaxing. I can definitely see myself zoning out and entering a flow state...just driving without even thinking.
