THEY SAY: "Rimac Automobili has introduced a bold new character to the Nevera family: the Nevera R. A thrilling evolution designed to be the aggressive alter ego to the Nevera, the R shifts from Hyper GT into Hyper Sportscar. Just as its name suggests its development follows the philosophy of the Rimac brand: Radical, Rebellious, Relentless."
WE SAY: The Rimac Nevera R is the Mr Hyde to the 'standard' Nevera's Dr Jekyll. It is a rolling top-trumps card of performance figures. Power? Try 1550kW (2107PS). Top speed? Well over 400km/h. Acceleration? By the time you've finished reading this sentence, the Nevera R will have stormed past 200km/h.
It also looks special in a way the anodyne, non-R-rated car doesn't. Anyone who has just taken delivery of a regular Nevera must be feeling sick as a dog right now.
