Chris Harris vs Rimac Nevera: The World's Fastest Electric Car? | Top Gear Series 33

Chris tests out the astonishing Rimac Nevera, an electric two-seater that might just be the fastest car on the planet. The 1,888bhp electric hypercar features a 6,960-cell, 120kWh battery powering four surface-mounted permanent magnet motors driving each wheel.
Now, we all know that electric cars are great in a straight line, but what makes the Nevera stand out is its ability to go sideways like nothing else, as Chris Harris finds out...

Comparing this to what is essentially a ruined one trick pony ricer is a much more ridiculous comparison than the Aventador SVJ. The point wasn't that it managed to beat the Lambo, the point was that Rimac's second production car makes one of the fastest cars Lambo has ever made, look like a Prius.

I first saw the Rimac tested against the Ferrari SF90, It was an absolute beat down the acceleration of the Rimac was in a level of its own.. I saw another video that was just super fast cars accelerating. I didn't recognize one of the cars, but it was FAST! I asked in the comments what car it was... SF90.

[@teligon]

@@Iffy50 the SF90 is bloody fast being one of the relative new kids on the block. I still hold the P1 and 918 Spyder is high esteem, though they will take as equal a hammering against the Nevera. That car is now long gone into the future and I don't think anything else is about to catch it. Just look at that drift with full power sent to all 4 wheels obliterating the tyres which has now become a norm in the test runs by journalists and enthusiasts. With Porsche taking a bite into the Rimac pie and Rimac having Bugatti for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it will be exciting times to see how these other brands evolve in sharing or developing tech with each other.

[@Mr.MBA555]

It is a real energy boost when you watch the "300m distance catch up race" with the cinematic background that pumps the feeling of happiness (next to O2) in the blood arteries. This video was first aired on 30 October 2022. Six months ago, Top Gear gave us a taste (on KZbin) of a two minute and a half long video, and to see it fully (also on KZbin) after such a time, and after Rimac undoubtedly achieved >20 records**, is a smart move 😎 by Top Gear. I would not be surprised to see them re-test the Nevera soon on the Top Gear Track. They have explicitly hinted at that in S33 E01. Hence, Top Gear is not yet done with the Nevera, and it is 'coming soon' time (maybe this time, it could be the Nevera with the green stripes that broke the records)! Though the video did not mention the mode that the Nevera was on during the 2 races (or maybe I missed it 🫣). I think it was on "Track" mode - looking at the Nevera's red colour of (a) the instrument cluster and (b) the LED side lights. To have more and more context 😉, it would have been great to see a number of races with the Nevera's different modes (Drift mode excluded - we need you safe Chris 🙃). With the 'Revuelto' being now in town, the fans of Top Gear deserve to watch attempt 2 with the 'Revuelto' and attempt 3 with the 'Revuelto SVJ'. The Nevera will most likely - if not certainly - win; however, it is the winning margin that the viewers and followers will be interested in. **Note: if you are a regular visitor of Rimac's website, you will notice that the performance figures have been updated (since the car launch) after the Nevera set the new records.

I would love to have a 2000+ horsepower car like this with all those awesome driving modes. The automotive future looks bright again!

[@SickBoy82]

Well, he has a old BMW with initial electric powerplant, with which he started as a hobby, maybe even few with advanced e-powerplant for testing, like torque vectoring, maybe when you visit Croatia, go to their headquarters, they do open day for public, tour of cars and such, maybe he would sell you one of testing car's, which don't cost a fortune, or maybe see how much would cost to put their e-powerplant and some hard/software in your car, i bet they would make that happen, because they are not greedy , but have the high end product, which is future, trending and have a high value. I've been there, when the first was rolled out, and Mate Rimac is a quite nice, down to earth, inteligent person, and the whole team, is like big family, but happier, so you could have a chance.

[@garyseaton4619]

Chris, you're a lucky man... That's an amazing automobile that not only clicks all the known boxes, it makes new ones... Mate Rimac, you and your team are truly as exceptional as the cars you've faced the World with... Thank you...

Finally, putting someone in a rimac who can actually drive it to its limit and not just in a straight line. Great job, Rimac, im not the biggest fan of Evs in general, but i totally admire all you've done, dedication, accomplished, and achieved with the Rimac. Also, being signed up by Bugatti is the ultimate seal of approval! Can't wait to see what develops. As always, Chris, great video, cinematography, and never thought the day I would see you have so much fun in an EV Hypercar! Your passion, enthusiasm, and expertise never grow old. That last side way drift is out of this world even if it destroyed the tires!

[@keshavsakthi546]

You should see Nico Robert's delivery video of the car. He was the 1st one to take the car home and his video is also definitely a must watch

Signed up by Bugatti? Signed Up??? Nah Mate RIMAC took control of Bugatti yeah, they bought out Volkswagen and are the Majority Shareholder with a 55% stake Porsche 24% Hyundai 12% etc. Also, have you not seen Steve Sutcliffes CHIRON Vs NEVERA video he did few months ago?

[@lasersailor6684]

Top Gear needs a fundamental revamp. Make Chris Harris, Henry Catchpole and Jensen Button offers they can’t refuse. Let them focus on cars and motor sport on their own terms and let the chemistry between them and the eventual format develop over time. And watch people fall in love with a reimagined Top Gear all over again. For the love of god, more features like this one and less lamely trying to to copy what is in the past.

[@evolicious]

Scratch --Jenson button-- and make it Matt Farah, and you have a deal. Those three would be the absolute dream team for Top Gear. Amazon has the means to make it happen anytime they want.

The best part against that Lamborghini was that the 23 world record beating in one launch Nevera actually does the standing mile at 249 mph so it was limited to 219 mph. But that V12 be blessed! 😂

The AWD powerslide was crazy. He didn't even turn into the slide because the front wheels didn't have any traction either, he only turned in at the end.

[@griffins750]

That’s what actual torque vectoring does. Cars like the Lucid Sapphire can do this as well. It’s able to send whatever amount of power to whatever wheel it wants whenever it wants it to, with 0 limitations of a differential or transmission, it’s really incredible and that’s coming from a petrol head 😅

[@joeblack4026]

the most absurd thing about it is that the wheels are spinning 212mph in this mode. Its like drifting in a ice car on 6 or 7th gear. Insane.

'But but the Tesla Roadster..' Just kidding, this thing is real, on the road today, and a demonstration of an amazing young car builder in the same league as titans like Gordon Murray and Christian Von Koenigsegg. Very well done, Mr Rimac and your team. Now, pretty please, can we see some hot laps on our favourite tracks? :)

[@powderskier5547]

Sorry, Rimac has passed them, their technology and quality is leagues ahead

[@Jeroenneman]

​@@powderskier5547 Not to downplay Rimac's achievements, but there really is no comparison. Tesla and Lucid both have vehicles with a tenth to a fifth of the cost that are eerily close in performance. You really think they couldn't beat Rimac if they would've developed a hypercar with matching pricetag?

[@donaldperry148]

Anyting can be built and sold with any amount of money but when the average person or maybe the upper middle-class can buy it that's when it's a work of art

even if the tesla roadster comes out, it would have to be massively upgraded to compete with this. i guess it would have price going for it, though.
