Which electric hypercar reached 412 km/h in a 2022 production-car speed test?

The Rimac Nevera reached 412 km/h in a 2022 production-car speed test, making it one of the fastest electric production cars ever recorded.

Rimac conducted the test at the Automotive Testing Papenburg facility in Germany. The Nevera used its four-motor all-wheel-drive system and reached the speed in both directions, a procedure intended to reduce the effect of wind on a record attempt.

The Nevera is the production version of Rimac’s C_Two concept. It has four independently controlled electric motors and a large liquid-cooled battery pack, allowing precise torque control at each wheel.

Its 412 km/h figure is a tested top speed, not the car’s normal driving speed or a claim that every customer car will regularly achieve it. The Nevera’s name refers to a sudden Mediterranean storm, while the company Rimac is based in Croatia.
