Video Summary
Here is the requested summary:The Rimac Nevera redefines what an EV and a supercar can do, simultaneously. Despite being an EV, it has an emotive and distinctly petrolheaded nature. It’s redefining the future of car enthusiasm. The review finds objective automotive journalism difficult but gives the Nevera a fair chance. It notes that founder Mate Rimac's background as a car enthusiast, including racing a BMW E30, influences the car.
The Nevera tackles traditional EV biases and works to dismantle them. Its underpinnings include a philosophy focused on the driver. The traction control is excellent, adjusting 100 times per second. It’s also an excellent GT car.
Although it boasts 1,888 horsepower, it feels significantly lighter than its 5,000 pounds. The steering is unusually communicative, even for an electric power-assisted system. The ride and body control are superb.
The car's entirely carbon structure increases stiffness.
The Battery pack is between and behind the passengers.
Each motor can be individually controlled to provide acceleration or deceleration via regenerative braking.
The driver doesn't need to touch the steering wheel as much, as the car’s technology helps control and guide it.
By 2011, Mate's converted BMW E30 held FIA and Guinness records for acceleration. Mate's E30's engine exploded in 2008 and he replaced it with electric power, which led to VST Conversions, and finally led to Rimac Automobili.
By 2014, there were 20 to 60 employees.
By 2018, there were 450 employees.
By the time production for Nevera started there were 1900 employees.
The car features an almost non-existent number of suppliers.
To manufacture their parts, new factories were built.
Porsche's financial stake in Rimac led to merging with Bugatti.
Christian von Koenigsegg is an inspiration for Mate.
Formula One driver Nico Roseburg delivers the car to clients.
Rimac is now at 450 employees and expanding to four factories for the Nevera. Overall, the technology serves a goal of making a sensational driver's car, a well-balanced, high-performing GT car with a unique driving experience and great feedback.
