Rimac Nevera, Titled As The Fastest Electric Car In The World, Has Just Set A New Record By Reaching The Speed Of A Honda Civic Type R In Reverse.

A new record has been set at the Papenburg Automotive Testing Center in Germany. The fastest electric car in the world, Rimac Nevera, achieved an incredible feat, reaching an impressive speed of 275.74 km/h in reverse, which is the maximum speed of a Honda Civic Type R “in reverse”.

The chief engineer of the Nevera, Matija Renic, expressed surprise at achieving this feat with the electric car. During development, the team realized that the Rimac Nevera could be the fastest car in the world in reverse, however, they laughed a lot at the idea.

After all, the aerodynamics, cooling, and stability of the fastest electric car in the world were not originally designed for high-speed reverse driving. However, they began to discuss how fun it would be to try this.

Challenges Faced

According to Goran Drndak, the Rimac test driver, driving in this position was not easy. During the lap itself, it definitely took time to get used to. You are looking directly in the opposite direction, and the scenery flashes by as you accelerate more and more, feeling your neck being thrown forward, almost the same feeling you would have during hard braking.

You need to move the steering wheel gently and carefully to avoid losing balance, looking at your path and seeking your braking point through the rearview mirror, all while glancing at the speedometer. Because it is completely unnatural for the way the car was developed, the Rimac Nevera set a new record.

Rimac Nevera Could Have Gone Further

The fastest electric car in the world could have gone even further, as it has electronic programming to prevent it from going any faster. Without this programming, the model can reach speeds of 320 km/h in 11 seconds.

The sports car achieved this feat due to its single gear, a common concept in electric cars that eliminates the need for traditional gears. With the result, the Rimac added another milestone to its list of 20 records. At the beginning of the year, the Rimac Nevera entered the Guinness Book by going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.8 seconds.

With a price of approximately R$ 12 million, the fastest electric car in the world combines four electric motors, one on each wheel, producing 1,914 horsepower and 240.8 kgfm of torque. Equipped with a 120 kWh battery, it offers up to 490 km of range in the European cycle and can reach 400 km/h without a drop of gasoline. Additionally, the model has an onboard Nvidia supercomputer, a machine that adjusts the torque sent to each wheel about 100 times per second.

The prototype named Mythen was developed by an academic group from the Federal Polytechnic School of Zurich and the University of Lucerne (Switzerland) to go from 0 to 100 km/h. The test was conducted at the Swiss circuit of Dübendorf, where the electric vehicle recorded a time of 0 to 100 km/h in just 0.956 seconds to accomplish this feat. The model has 326 horsepower and motors in all four wheels.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

The last weekend of April will bring heavy rain and temperatures plummeting to near 0°C in the mountains of the South, and anyone who thought the cold only arrived in May is in for a surprise.

A mountain road with 284 curves, considered one of the most beautiful in Brazil, will be closed to cars on Sunday because hundreds of cyclists will climb the 24 km of road in Santa Catarina.

Canadian company drills almost 100 km of wells up to 4.5 km deep, transforms an abandoned geothermal field into a giant underground radiator, and enables Germany to receive electricity from a closed-loop geothermal system on the public grid for the first time.

It costs R$ 80,000 today, but was once worth R$ 900,000: the “rich man’s cast-off car” attracts with its luxury, but conceals high-standard maintenance that can turn into a loss.

Chinese automaker launches the Avatr 06T electric wagon with 955 hp, up to 1,250 km of range, and a three-motor system, betting on a version with a range-extending turbo generator to extend long journeys and compete in the premium EV segment.

When it seemed that combustion was doomed, industry giants came together and created a gasoline engine that promises to achieve more than 3 liters per 100 km and rekindles the hope of those who want to drive further while spending much less fuel.
