The fastest electric car in the world, the Rimac Nevera, will be available in the UAE market starting 2024, The National reports. Local distributor Al Habtoor Motors is currently offering sales visits to prospective buyers of the USD 2.2 mn car, the outlet adds. The Nevera set 23 performance records last month, including hitting 400 kph in 29.93 seconds.

The specs: The two-seater EV has a WLTP range of up to 550 km and an impressive power output of up to 1.4k kW, Rimac’s website notes. The EPA range, however, calculates Nevara’s range at a less outstanding 330 km, which Car and Driver explains is the cost of having a power output that is much higher than that of a Formula One car. The Nevara produces 1.9k horsepower, and has a 1.7k pound-force foot of torque. The EV packs an energy-dense battery with one of the highest charging performance of up to 500 kW.

Small production, high value: Rimac has only manufactured 150 of the Nevera given its high production value. The engineers manufacture everything — from powertrain components to composites and in-car controls — at the company’s headquarters in Croatia, the website explains.
