Rimac Automobili, fresh off its record-breaking performance at the Nurburgring with the Nevera, is looking for ways to further improve its performance. One area of focus is reducing weight in its future electric supercars, especially if Rimac wants to enter the racing scene.

During a celebration of the Nevera Time Attack special edition at The Quail, Chief Technology Officer Emilio Scervo discussed the possibility of a track version of the Nevera. He stated that the company should focus on making it lighter and explore other tweaks to enhance its stiffness and driver connection.

While Scervo did not confirm the development of track-only sports cars like the Maserati MCXtrema, he acknowledged the potential areas for improvement in the Nevera. Lighter-weight electrical components and a battery that resists range degradation during full-acceleration moments could contribute to reducing the car’s weight further.

The current weight of the Nevera is 5,071 pounds, but despite its heft, it remains one of the fastest vehicles available. A test drive during last year’s Monterey Car Week demonstrated the car’s incredible acceleration, reaching 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds. The Nevera also impressed with its exceptional grip and responsive handling, enabling higher cornering speeds than initially expected.

The Nevera’s performance at the Nurburgring validated its capabilities, setting a new lap record for production EVs. It completed a lap in 7 minutes and 5.298 seconds, surpassing the previous record held by the Tesla Model S Plaid with the Track package. Scervo’s comments suggest that there is still potential for even greater performance from the Nevera.
