Rimac Nevera R Steals Back Impossible Koenigsegg Speed Record
Rimac has set multiple new performance records with its Nevera R electric hypercar, adding another chapter to the speed war between Rimac and Koenigsegg. An even more potent version of the normal Nevera (which itself set a string of speed records back in 2023), the new Nevera R has retaken the crown for the challenging 0-400-0 km/h run from Koenigsegg - that's zero to 249 mph and back to zero again. The Nevera R's new time is 25.79 seconds, 2.04 seconds quicker than the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut managed last year. Of course, that's not all the Nevera R managed to achieve, as it toppled many of the normal Nevera's accomplishments. It takes a few minutes to fully digest the scope of the Nevera R's achievements, as the numbers seem scarcely believable. We'll start with the new 0-60 mph time, as that's the easiest reference point most of us have to a normal car. These days, anything under three seconds is enough to rearrange the contents of your stomach. Well, the Nevera R accomplished the run in just 1.66 seconds, beating the normal Nevera's 1.74-second time. As the speeds rose, the Nevera R continued to thrive. The 0-100 mph sprint took 2.96 seconds, the quarter-mile took 7.9 seconds, and the 0-200 mph run took 9.25 seconds. A top speed of 268.2 mph adds to the list of staggering achievements; this was a new record for EVs, which are at a distinct disadvantage at very high speeds. "When we first introduced Nevera it almost seemed like the pinnacle of hypercar performance had been reached," said Mate Rimac, founder and president of the Rimac Group. "In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades. But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster, while still maintaining much of the comfort and practicality that makes the Nevera a real, usable daily car. Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won't stop here." Producing 2,078 horsepower from four electric motors, the Nevera R is one of the most powerful cars on earth. Combined with optimized aerodynamics and less weight, it's little wonder that it has achieved a brace of new speed records. Being able to beat the Jesko Absolut in the 0-279-0 mph run is especially noteworthy, but let's not discount Koenigsegg's staggering achievements with the Jesko Absolut, the king of gas-powered hypercars. Running on E85 gas, the Jesko's 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 (with the world's lightest V8 crankshaft) produces 1,600 hp. It has an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.278 Cd and the Light Speed Transmission can execute incredibly fast shifts. That the Jesko gets so close to the electric Nevera R should not be underestimated. It remains to be seen if Koenigsegg can possibly engineer its car to a point that it can steal back the 0-279-0 record from Rimac, but that's a tall order the Jesko Absolut, a car that already pushes the limits of what's possible with internal combustion.

Rimac Nevera R sets new record for fastest EV
Croatia's Rimac Nevera R has shattered the 0-400-0km/h record. Independently verified by Dewesoft, the 1,571kW electric hypercar completed the feat in 25.79 seconds — 2.04 seconds quicker than the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut and 4.14 seconds faster than the standard Nevera. Along the way, the Nevera R also beat all the original Nevera's acceleration benchmarks: hitting 100km/h in 1.72 seconds (-0.09 seconds); reaching 200km/h in 3.95 seconds (-0.47 seconds); and blasting past 300km/h in 7.89 seconds (-1.33 seconds). It topped out at 431.45km/h, setting a new record for the fastest EV top speed. Compared with the standard model, the re-engineered Nevera R features an enhanced aerodynamic package that increases downforce by 15% and aerodynamic efficiency by 10%. It also gains grippier Michelin Cup 2 tyres and recalibrated all-wheel torque vectoring. Limited to just 40 units worldwide and priced from €2.3m (R47.8m), each Nevera R holds the distinction of being part of the most comprehensively record-breaking hypercar ever built.

Andrew Tate's Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Breaks Down In Traffic
Read the full story on Backfire News Controversial figure Andrew Tate owns quite the car collection, but his recent ordeal with his ultra-expensive Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut shows not everything is roses for the guy. After he fled Romania when he had the chance, like a dog with its tail between its legs, the guy has faced adversity here in the US, including his Swedish hypercar failing in the middle of have no idea why the Jesko Absolut broke down, but people on the internet have commented on the video with all kinds of theories. They range from the Koenigsegg being a piece of junk to Tate being a dumb piece of trash and everything in between. While we can't weigh in on whether the car suffered a genuine malfunction or if this was user error, we do find one thing odd. In the footage shared to Facebook, we can't see the hypercar's hazard lights activated. That's weird because the Koenigsegg appears to be sitting in a lane of travel at an intersection. Did Tate just forget to activate the hazards or did the malfunction render them inoperable? It's a great question we unfortunately can't answer. It's not like Tate's volunteering information, either. Curiously, there doesn't appear to be any statement made on his social media accounts about the 'L' moment, which is funny since the guy talks about how all he does is win. Instead, in the video we see him walking away from the $4 million Swedish hypercar while starting at his phone like some screentime-obsessed 16-year-old boy. After all, the guy has more supercars and hypercars to play with and he has a packed schedule of telling teenage boys how to be even more self-centered and shallow. Life sure is magical for Tate, who obviously only wins all the time. Here's to hoping the Jesko Absolut isn't too broken. Image via Cobra Mentality/Facebook
