It goes with out saying that the record-setting was no straightforward feat. Kodrić mentioned, “We had difficult climate situations throughout our observe periods this week and have chosen what looks as if one of many hottest days on the monitor this summer time to set a lap time.” He added that the Nevera, which is meant to be a snug hyper GT, is “devastatingly quick” on the monitor.
On setting the electrical manufacturing automobile lap file, CEO Mate Rimac mentioned, “In some ways the Nevera has reinvented the world of the hypercar, bringing new applied sciences, new talents, and new ranges of efficiency. However the easiest way we are able to display its capabilities is to exit and break data. And that’s precisely what we’ve finished in 2023 again and again.”
