Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of an electric car:The Rimac Nevera, formerly known as the C_Two, is a fully electric hypercar with 1,914 horsepower and 1,696 pound-foot electric motor. It goes from 0 to 62 mph in just over two seconds, though that is limited to 186 mph, subject to tire testing. Rimac states that the car will reach 0 to 62 mph in under two seconds, and 0 to 186 mph in 11.6 seconds.
The Nevera has a 340-mile range and can charge from 20 to 80% in 18 minutes with a 350 kW charger. It’s 90 to 95% finished; Rimac will only build 150, costing two million euros each.
The single largest carbon fiber structure in the automotive industry weighing in at 200 kilograms, it consists of the roof, the floor, front, the back, and a structural battery pack. Aerodynamics also keep drag down with a flat floor and Venturi-effect rear valance. Active flaps change where air moves for cooling. The bonnet shape, pillars, and diffusers keep the drag low and cooling optimized. A rear wing reacts to a moment’s notice by adjusting for track mode with the most downforce or tucking away for top speed, reducing the drag coefficient to 0.28. Carbon ceramic six-piston Brembos are on a brake-by-wire system and regenerative braking.
The Nevera weighs 2,150 kilos and uses all-wheel torque vectoring. Its AI driver coach can guide drivers around certain limited tracks; should the track not be built-in, you can drive a couple of times and the car will determine what is best using radar, lidar, ultrasonic sonar, and NVIDIA’s electronic brain. It provides comfort, though being a pre-prod it is a bit noisy. The steering is steer-by-wire and the brake feel simulator is something Rimac isn't 100% happy with. Driving is incredibly relaxed with such power to do with as you please, but you don't really know that you are going a silly speed because the car doesn't spur you on to drive like a moron. Those who call EVs unexciting are wrong.
The review concludes that the Nevera is a working proof of concept to provide a new, quiet way to get around. Its a technical achievement, though it doesn't offer the rawness of internal combustion. Its an experience up there with the best.
