The Rimac Nevera R represents a focused evolution of the record-breaking Nevera, engineered to elevate cornering dynamics and straight-line performance. Featuring the next-generation Rimac All-Wheel Torque Vectoring (R-AWTV) system, advanced braking, and a performance-oriented battery, the Nevera R delivers 2,107 hp. This enhanced configuration enables acceleration to 300 km/h (186 mph) in a remarkable 8.66 seconds, surpassing even the standard Nevera’s already groundbreaking achievements.
“When we developed the Nevera, a core objective was to create a Grand Tourer that offered a perfect balance between exhilarating performance and accessible comfort, capable of continent-spanning journeys and record-setting laps,” stated Mate Rimac, Founder and President of the Rimac Group, CEO of Bugatti Rimac and Rimac Technology. “The Nevera R is a direct response to customer desires for an even greater emphasis on its cornering prowess, leveraging our advanced onboard technologies. It retains the DNA of the record-holding Nevera but is refined for increased lightness, speed, and a more concentrated driving experience.”
Rimac’s design and engineering teams have meticulously re-engineered key elements of the Nevera to position the R firmly within the hyper sports car segment. This refinement encompasses more focused driving dynamics, a performance-optimized battery system, increased power output, and enhanced braking capabilities. Visually, the Nevera R embodies a performance-driven aesthetic, characterized by clean surfacing and perfectly sculpted proportions that convey a lower, sleeker profile and a forward-thrusting stance.
The exterior design features a striking and technical front end with horizontal lines that accentuate aerodynamic efficiency, stance, and width, achieved through close collaboration between design and engineering. The side profile presents a harmonious integration of body color and carbon fiber, contributing to its timeless and dynamic silhouette. New wheel designs with extended spokes enhance their visual impact, complemented by distinct color splits. A prominent fixed rear wing and an aggressive aerodynamic package, including a new, larger diffuser, collectively increase downforce by 15% and aerodynamic efficiency by 10%. These enhancements, coupled with new Michelin Cup 2 tires, reduce total understeer by 10%, increase lateral grip by 5%, and result in a 3.8-second reduction in lap time on the Nardo Handling Track. The combination of negative camber, enhanced tire grip, and increased downforce equips the Nevera R to redefine the boundaries of agility and handling.
The Nevera R offers an elevated performance experience with a heightened focus on driver engagement. The recalibrated R-AWTV system ensures sharper, more precise cornering by maximizing the potential of the high-performance tires. Increased downforce provides superior stability and lateral performance, establishing a new benchmark for exhilarating driving on challenging roads and track environments. The revised traction control system further expands the capabilities of the R-AWTV, ensuring predictable behavior even in wet conditions. The drift mode has been adjusted to complement the new tires, and the steering system has been refined for enhanced responsiveness and crisp feedback to the driver.
Underpinning the Nevera R’s enhanced performance is the next-generation 108 kWh Rimac battery pack. This advanced system delivers increased power and efficiency within a lighter package. With an available 2,107 hp, the Nevera R achieves an even greater acceleration than its predecessor. New EVO2 brakes, constructed from carbon-ceramic with a silicone matrix layer, ensure superior stopping performance, enhanced cooling, and exceptional durability under extreme usage.

Launched in Nebula green, the Nevera R visually evolves the Rimac narrative, translating the “Time Attack” Lightning Green highlights into a distinctive new color palette for both the exterior and interior. The driver-centric, highly customizable interior receives additional color and trim options. Painted carbon fiber elements, such as the dashboard structure and center console trims, can be specified to match the exterior color or personalized according to customer preferences.
Production of the Rimac Nevera R will be strictly limited to 40 units globally.
