The Rimac Nevera has crossed the finish line as the first production model has been built in Croatia. This is a momentous moment as the company noted the achievement was only made possible after “five years of development and testing, three generations of powertrain technology, 18 prototypes, 45 physical crash tests, and more than 1.6 million collective hours of research and development.”

That’s a ton of effort, especially for a small company that had to deal with a global pandemic, a chip crisis, and a million other issues. Despite the challenges, Rimac was able to bring the Nevera to reality and the first production model features a pearlescent Callisto Green exterior with Graphite Vertex wheels and a Sand Alcantara interior. Of course, if you attended the Goodwood Festival of Speed, this isn’t your first time seeing it as the model tackled the famous hill climb.

While this particular model, known as car #000, is a full production version, it will remain in the possession of Bugatti Rimac as a demonstrator and marketing car. However, it paves the way for consumer models and those are already being assembled. Once that process is complete, the cars will be delivered through the company’s network of 25 global dealers.

Rimac will build up to 50 cars annually, but the first model year has already been sold out as “eager customers hope to experience the world’s first all-electric hypercar.” If you’re name isn’t already on the list, you’d better act fast as production will be limited to 150 units and each one promises to be unique. The latter is easy to understand as Rimac noted there are “36 different pre-defined paint colors and the option to go bespoke.” On top of that, there is a “selection of in-house-designed liveries, three levels of exposed carbon fiber – including a full bare carbon body – and an enormous selection of colorful leathers, Alcantara, contrasting accents and metal finishes for the interior.”

As a refresher, the Nevera features a 120 kWh battery pack that powers four motors producing a combined output of 1,887 hp and 2,360 Nm of torque. This enables the model to rocket from 0-96 km/h in 1.85 seconds and run the quarter mile in a ridiculous 8.582 seconds.
