Chris Harris vs Rimac Nevera: The World's Fastest Electric Car? | Top Gear Series 33
Chris tests out the astonishing Rimac Nevera, an electric two-seater that might just be the fastest car on the planet. The 1,888bhp electric hypercar features a 6,960-cell, 120kWh battery powering four surface-mounted permanent magnet motors driving each wheel.
Now, we all know that electric cars are great in a straight line, but what makes the Nevera stand out is its ability to go sideways like nothing else, as Chris Harris finds out...

That 2nd race with the head start is probably the most impressive thing I've seen.
2000hp vs 800hp, what did you expect? If we consider a 2000hp Nissan GTR, it 100-200 2.4s and 200-300 3.52s vs Nevera 100-200 in 2.59s and 200-300 in 4,81s, just to make u realise that the value is almost only in the 2000hp. Nevera vs Aventador SVJ is an unequal comparison
@@4mori77 Where do they sell 2000hp Nissan GTR's? Oh, and have they manage to make one yet that doesn't blow up on the second run? Comparing this to what is essentially a ruined one trick pony ricer is a much more ridiculous comparison than the Aventador SVJ. The point wasn't that it managed to beat the Lambo, the point was that Rimac's second production car makes one of the fastest cars Lambo has ever made, look like a Prius.
@@4mori77 I guess what I meant was, I knew the Rimac would win, i didnt however expect it to be THAT much of a difference. I dont look at the Lambo as a "slow" car, but the way it was passed makes it look like a 4cyl family sedan. I guess that was where I was going with that.
@@TheSaltyAdmiral Look like a Prius? No it looks, sounds and drives like a Lambo. It crossed the line what a second or two later? Exaggeration overload.

And today Rimac Nevera broke 23 world records!! Amazing!
Not a coincidence this video is out now today.. is it? 😂
the fastest car is Aspark Owl 2012 hp 0-100 1,7
@@ckleanth video was already out 2 weeks ago. But they retracted it.
@@06mateusz12 Is that road legal though? I think the clarifying factors in "Worlds fastest car" are in production and available to buy, and fully road legal.
@06mateusz12 if you open the competition up too wide, you have to include top fuel dragsters, which can get to 60 before the back tires cross the point where the front tires started.
Rimac made the Lamborghini SVJ look like a Toyota Corolla! Hats off to Mate Rimac for designing this car! Absolutely ridiculously cool!
You could have said it made it look like a Nissan instead.
I first saw the Rimac tested against the Ferrari SF90, It was an absolute beat down the acceleration of the Rimac was in a level of its own.. I saw another video that was just super fast cars accelerating. I didn't recognize one of the cars, but it was FAST! I asked in the comments what car it was... SF90.
@@Iffy50 the SF90 is bloody fast being one of the relative new kids on the block. I still hold the P1 and 918 Spyder is high esteem, though they will take as equal a hammering against the Nevera. That car is now long gone into the future and I don't think anything else is about to catch it. Just look at that drift with full power sent to all 4 wheels obliterating the tyres which has now become a norm in the test runs by journalists and enthusiasts. With Porsche taking a bite into the Rimac pie and Rimac having Bugatti for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it will be exciting times to see how these other brands evolve in sharing or developing tech with each other.
Electric vehicles are just better at this point. I can only imagine what they're going to be when they have 100 years of innovation behind them
@@teligon Yea but sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
I think the next step for Rimac will be their own tire manufacture 😄

I replayed this way TOO MANY TIMES! No other car video has made me smile this much. My fantasy car used to be the Bugatti Veyron, but now, this is my King. Can't wait to see what they do with the Nevera 2.
It will be called the Nevera Bugatti concept One
The car is a beast! And to boot, the CEO is a down-to-earth, nice, smart dude. Wish them all the best. They are the future.
That moment at 7:23, when you se Lambo in distance pulling away, and then Nevera comes from bottom of a frame hurling like a bullet and you instantly realize it will catch Lambo with a ease... goosebumps all over! 😲😲😲😲
Hunting the lambo like a predator
Gepard 😮
Looked like there is no outrunning a surface-to-air missile up your a ss. You're screwed even if it was coming at you in reverse.
That was embarsssing . Nearly 1/5 mile head start 😅damn yal had to do the lambo like that !
Damn that move was just 😮
I guess you cannot get any higher praise for a car and car maker as from Chris Harris himself "Mr. Rimac - you are my kind of guy"! What a wonderful car.
He said "Mr. Rimac - you are my kind of lunatic" lol
Mr RImac replies - mixing meters with miles is exactly why you got thrown out of EU
@@hagestad 300m head start in a 1,600m race :-) Actually sounds more impressive I think.
@@Lemming1970 There are different miles as a measure of length in the world. None of them has 1600m.
Nico Rosberg has a Nevera ,too.
7:23 this scene, when you see the lone Lamborghini, then that monster enters the bottom of the shot and the music hits, and its just eating up the ground and then just literally passes the lambo like it's standing still, that has got to be the best scene of any top gear episode. Goose bumps.
The Nevera is a materpiece...and the cinematography of this video showcased it flawlessly.
True!
The camerawork from the second SVJ race is nothing short of spectacular, like a cheetah pouncing on a gazelle. I can't remember the last time a drag race video left me with goosebumps, an agape mouth, and a frightened toddler because I randomly yelled "WHAT?!?!". Truly fantastic work.
I had the same thought of the Rimac looking like a predator closing on its prey.
Whether you hate it or love it its engineering is undeniably brilliant!
Yeeeaahh I always say EV:s are boooring and have no soul but to the Nevera I´ll make an exception! It´s just CRAAAZY! 🤩🤩🤩
And to think this was all achieved in pretty much a decade is completely mind-blowing.
@@mikaeljonsson4686 yes... must be very boring to see how it destroys any gas car.
@@mikaeljonsson4686 I've owned 5 x EVs, 3 at the moment, and you have no foundation for your claim as you have never owned one, and I doubt you have even driven one. "No soul" is absolute bullshit, EVs are just the same as any ICE car, some have huge amounts of character, and some are dead wood, and all the levels inbetween.
Just WHO in the hell could hate this work of art? LMFAO !!!!!
At first I thought the price was outrageous, but towards the end, I realized it's worth every penny.
It's a hypercar! Who would expect it to be expensive?!
Amazing video, as a Croatian I can’t even describe level of proudness when seeing Nevera being called one of the best and fastest cars in the world. ❤💪🇭🇷 PS: you’ve made mistake in video description about car specs; it has 1914bhp not 1888 like you’ve stated. That’s why those custom registration plates are made with 1914 on them. 😊
It has 1914 HP, but 1888 BHP. It's not the same unit. Google it.
@@blanchard800 Thanks for that, can’t believe that after more than decade of watching car reviews I’ve only learned this now. I’ve always thought that “bhp” is the same thing as “hp” just a different name because many countries have their own names for “hp” like for example “ps” in Germany or “cv” in France etc. Thanks again 😄
McMurtry is quicker …
It's not one of the fastest, it IS the fastest (accelerating) by a large margin.
@@alexz8373it isn't road legal and it's a race kart, not an actual car
Chris Harris should do all the reviews and road tests! The other ones can tag along for challenges if they want
Nico Rosberg also was pretty impressed by the Nevera he was helping in very first prototype tests and latter invited by Mate Rimac himself in Croatia, to do more testings with a pre -production Nevera with all software up-dates, and for last test Nico was so impressed to the point he actually got one..
agreed
7:16 The standing mile with the SVJ 300 meters ahead and the Nevera let alone catching the SVJ AND building some distance still is absolutely mind-boggling 😭💥💥💥...I applauded with excitement on the first watch, and 23 world Records broken today is an allround benchmark...Rimac has just set the new standards in the car world 🔥🔥🔥
They did one of my dream cars dirty.😔
And still I would have that Lambo any day. It's not all about speed with cars...
As immensly impressive as Rimac (and other performace EVs) undoubtedly are, it still lacks a couple of things. Twelve of them to be exact. And last but not least a soundtrack to go along with it.
no, the fastest car is Aspark Owl 2012 hp 0-100 1,7
@@06mateusz12 u commented that 20 times u must be so mirin or have some psy issues or just a 12 yold kid
He even chose the name of the vehicle correctly. Those who know what "Nevera" is on the Adriatic Sea, know that it comes within a few minutes with a completely clear sky without clouds, to a Storm that connects heaven and earth, with wind, thunder, huge waves where you are not safe even on land. "Nevera" is perfect name for this car.
Chris said twice that Rimac was a company we've never heard of. But he's forgetting that a certain smaller tv presenter once crashed one on a competing tv show 🤔 lol
Haven’t seen Chris have this much genuine fun in a car since the holy trinity. This was a joy to watch.
Also when he drives his Alfaholics you can see that genuine passion
@@cesarocon3401 100% true, I was thinking about modern cars. He acts the same way in all the restomods he drives, which says a lot about this electric hypercar's fun factor.
The only Holy Trinity is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, anything else is just blasphemy. I’ll pray for you!
You clearly haven’t seen the whole show, because he was impressed, but he said there were a few problems with the driving experience
@Narrow Is The Way 🤦 'The joy of such self-righteousness statements is astounding! Bless you! I'm sure many were saved by your self-righteous judgment! You can love Jesus and cars too!
7:32 that shot there... quite the Animal planet/Nat Geo stuff, like a cheetah chasing down it's prey in the wild. Top tier stuff 🏅🏅

The Nevera has almost triple the power of that SVJ, and the result says for itself.
@@kerbodynamicx472 Can't argue with that...
@@lowrenc8371 put that triple power to SVJ and i think, they will race close
@@user-sl7xn2fp5q Lower Nevera's weight, and you will see even bigger difference...
7:32 this is like a movie scene. The music, the shot, the cars, just scarily impressive.
YES, this episode was one of my favorites ever. Also see "Fort Nine" motorcycle channel, even if you have never ridden a motorcycle, the channel is maybe the best channel on KZhead for comedy and engineering.
WOW!!! When that Nevera was pulling and passing that Lambo, that was some serious speed, damn! Mirko Cro Cop is/was a Croatian MMA fighter with a violent brutal left kick that would send you to the graveyard and the right to the hospital, this Neveras insane speed is just as violent and brutal as Cro Cop's left kick!
CRO COP💪🇭🇷💪🇭🇷💥
Make a SVJ look like a Ford Escort is really insane. My absolute dream car. I hope for more race videos with the Nevera
The slow-mo. awd shot rolling smoke from all the tires was a thing of beauty!!
The closing test on the Lambo was epic. That Rimac Nevera was grabbing asphalt and bending time like an electric rocket. Croatia in the house, people.
Croatia in the house!
The house 🏠 exploded and they went for a world tour 🛞⛽️🛞⛽️🛞⛽️
YES!!!! The future is electric. This car, like the Vector will change opinions of electrics… and usher in the end of gas vehicles as old fashioned
Unreal Car, Well Done Rimac, Well Done Croatia
Got to love Chris, could hear a whiff of Clarkson’s ghost in the cadence of his delivery and presenting style at times in this one. Incredible car, filming and cinematography. 👌
Mr Rimac (pointing at the camera), you are.. my kind of lunatic! -best complinent to Nevera so far! 😂

@@Neojhun I'm already a supercar owner so 😂
Just watching it completely has blown my mind.. Can’t imagine what driving this absolute beast will be like.. 🤯
Cars like the Rimac Nevera truly give me hope for the future of the automobile. There are not many gearheads who wouldn't find this appealing on at least some levels and although it's way to expensive for most of us to ever entertain buying, you can be certain that the trickle-down of this type of technology and power to levels that the rest of us might be able to afford will be coming sooner than later. I would love to have a 2000+ horsepower car like this with all those awesome driving modes. The automotive future looks bright again!
Well, he has a old BMW with initial electric powerplant, with which he started as a hobby, maybe even few with advanced e-powerplant for testing, like torque vectoring, maybe when you visit Croatia, go to their headquarters, they do open day for public, tour of cars and such, maybe he would sell you one of testing car's, which don't cost a fortune, or maybe see how much would cost to put their e-powerplant and some hard/software in your car, i bet they would make that happen, because they are not greedy , but have the high end product, which is future, trending and have a high value. I've been there, when the first was rolled out, and Mate Rimac is a quite nice, down to earth, inteligent person, and the whole team, is like big family, but happier, so you could have a chance.
"That's not driving, that's an out of body experience" 🤣
That chase down shot at 7:32 brought a tear to my eye and goosebumps over my whole body. That is scary and impressive and mind blowing.
That was like some technology 20 years ahead the way rimac overtake svj that’s crazy it’s like a car vs fighter jet
ya whoever thought of that shot like a cheetah catching it's prey deserves a free dinner
The way it just popped on screen was terrifying... like it was literally out to kill the SVJ
Same!
Had to watch again man. Don't think I've ever felt that before. The cinematography took it to whole nother level
It is a real energy boost when you watch the "300m distance catch up race" with the cinematic background that pumps the feeling of happiness (next to O2) in the blood arteries. This video was first aired on 30 October 2022. Six months ago, Top Gear gave us a taste (on KZhead) of a two minute and a half long video, and to see it fully (also on KZhead) after such a time, and after Rimac undoubtedly achieved >20 records**, is a smart move 😎 by Top Gear. I would not be surprised to see them re-test the Nevera soon on the Top Gear Track. They have explicitly hinted at that in S33 E01. Hence, Top Gear is not yet done with the Nevera, and it is 'coming soon' time (maybe this time, it could be the Nevera with the green stripes that broke the records)! Though the video did not mention the mode that the Nevera was on during the 2 races (or maybe I missed it 🫣). I think it was on "Track" mode - looking at the Nevera's red colour of (a) the instrument cluster and (b) the LED side lights. To have more and more context 😉, it would have been great to see a number of races with the Nevera's different modes (Drift mode excluded - we need you safe Chris 🙃). With the 'Revuelto' being now in town, the fans of Top Gear deserve to watch attempt 2 with the 'Revuelto' and attempt 3 with the 'Revuelto SVJ'. The Nevera will most likely - if not certainly - win; however, it is the winning margin that the viewers and followers will be interested in. **Note: if you are a regular visitor of Rimac's website, you will notice that the performance figures have been updated (since the car launch) after the Nevera set the new records.
A wonderful car from wonderful country! ❤
The part from 07.32 and onwards where the Nevera overtakes the SVJ is simply mind-boggling. It looks like the SVJ isn’t even blasting full throttle the way the Nevera just shoots past him. Mate Rimac and his engineers have raised the bar for car performance. Simply astonishing.
🥶🥶
Croatia is underrated. They designed and built laser interceptor, the best (by far) best laser jammer for over a decade.
Best guns HS Product too
Gan
Now that if it doesn’t seal Mr Rimac statement on changing automobile industry I don’t know what more is needed to be done 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Imagine electric cars 10 years from now! 🤤
Im so proud of Mate. Not that he just build a monster, but also that he didnt move away from Croatia. The brain & his heart are synchronizing perfeclty.
Man Chris's drifting looked so much cleaner and smoother in all TC mode off rather than the slides in Drift mode. Really goes to show you how much skill there is to do it yourself!
Yup, just not many people have the guts to drift smth which costs like a very very nice house.

This has to be a benchmark of car jurnalism! Hands down! Epic in every way you take it! 💥🌟🔥
Rimac has created a whole new segment, and its brilliant!
Finally, putting someone in a rimac who can actually drive it to its limit and not just in a straight line. Great job, Rimac, im not the biggest fan of Evs in general, but i totally admire all you've done, dedication, accomplished, and achieved with the Rimac. Also, being signed up by Bugatti is the ultimate seal of approval! Can't wait to see what develops. As always, Chris, great video, cinematography, and never thought the day I would see you have so much fun in an EV Hypercar! Your passion, enthusiasm, and expertise never grow old. That last side way drift is out of this world even if it destroyed the tires!
You should see Nico Robert's delivery video of the car. He was the 1st one to take the car home and his video is also definitely a must watch
Signed up by Bugatti? Signed Up??? Nah Mate RIMAC took control of Bugatti yeah, they bought out Volkswagen and are the Majority Shareholder with a 55% stake Porsche 24% Hyundai 12% etc. Also, have you not seen Steve Sutcliffes CHIRON Vs NEVERA video he did few months ago?

Let them focus on cars and motor sport on their own terms and let the chemistry between them and the eventual format develop over time. And watch people fall in love with a reimagined Top Gear all over again. For the love of god, more features like this one and less lamely trying to to copy what is in the past.

Only Chris could drive that car and I was waiting for that video with him…. Thanks Chris for swooning as what that car can do 👍
The AWD powerslide was crazy. He didn't even turn into the slide because the front wheels didn't have any traction either, he only turned in at the end.
That’s what actual torque vectoring does. Cars like the Lucid Sapphire can do this as well. It’s able to send whatever amount of power to whatever wheel it wants whenever it wants it to, with 0 limitations of a differential or transmission, it’s really incredible and that’s coming from a petrol head 😅
the most absurd thing about it is that the wheels are spinning 212mph in this mode. Its like drifting in a ice car on 6 or 7th gear. Insane.
'But but the Tesla Roadster..' Just kidding, this thing is real, on the road today, and a demonstration of an amazing young car builder in the same league as titans like Gordon Murray and Christian Von Koenigsegg. Very well done, Mr Rimac and your team. Now, pretty please, can we see some hot laps on our favourite tracks? :)
Sorry, Rimac has passed them, their technology and quality is leagues ahead
@@powderskier5547 Not to downplay Rimac's achievements, but there really is no comparison. Tesla and Lucid both have vehicles with a tenth to a fifth of the cost that are eerily close in performance. You really think they couldn't beat Rimac if they would've developed a hypercar with matching pricetag?
Anyting can be built and sold with any amount of money but when the average person or maybe the upper middle-class can buy it that's when it's a work of art
even if the tesla roadster comes out, it would have to be massively upgraded to compete with this. i guess it would have price going for it, though.
Rimac will smoke any Tesla, better tech and better quality
Absolutely insane car. Props to Croatia!
Brilliant build and technology!!!! Hats off to the man that created that amazing machine 💯
That Lambo looked like my Golf when it raced the Rimac. Wow, crazy how slow it looks in comparison. Rimac is such a wild car. I love the brand. All that said, combustion engines for life!
The torque that thing produces is staggering
Rimac clearly sets a new standard for hypercars - and it's electric ! Worth every penny of the 2 mio. GBP pricetag - if I had the money THIS would be my car. And it is so cleverly engineered, no compromises, all developed in-house from scratch. An absolute hattrick !
Hats off to the Top Gear team for putting on such an incredible segment.👍👍
That laugh 🤣 as he passed him by made my day..
😂😂
If Chris Harris agreed to review an electric ⚡ vehicle (that as he said last year casually bought Bugatti) you know it does mean business 😁👏👌👌 5:02 Exactly: this is why I love Chris Harris's reviews 😂😂
This is the best show I have ever seen. i am very opsessed with show. You know what makes is the best CHRIS, FREDDIE AND PEDDY. I love you guys. and I am so happy for the recovery of Freddie. I was shocked when I heard about the accident. God be blessed, he is now recovered. I can't wait to see you again in the show Freddie.
This car is fast becoming one of my favourite cars ever!
If only it wouldn’t look so incredibly unexceptional and generic. I’d take the Battista for that reason alone
Why? It looks generic and drab for a hypercar. Do you just like the headline numbers?
Croatia makes some damn good pistols!

Wow! That is one incredible EV! That AWD smoke show too holy cow that is absolutely insane! This is definitely Top Gear!
Great vid! And love the tires burning on 4 wheels! Epic!
Just saw one driving 2 days ago on Zandvoort. What an amazing machine, even when it just flies by.
It was probably AutomannTv because they have been testing one a few days ago.
I see them almost regulary in Zagreb...
Mate Rimac is a genius, and I tell all the haters to shut up! Proud to be Croat 🇭🇷💪🏼🖤
The way it flew past that aventador is all that needs to be shown. A monster supercar with over 700hp being overtaken like an ecobox.
This versus the McMurtry is the ultimate test
but is it a road car? I see your point tho
@@FMSLO mcmurtry are working on a road legal version
Needs a higher top speed
@@thomashayhurst6547 road legal version won't have the same performance tho. Those fans providing downforce for example can hardly be legal. At the moment it is quite far from a road-legal (and world-homologated) car. Contrary to Nevera.
@@ZoranDekic you say that but mcmurtry say they only need to add headlights and some other bits and pieces regarding crash testing. Otherwise it's all good to go according to them
What an incredible shot... of the all wheel drifting. Probably the best footage on the internet!!!!!!! loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best revue about Nevera. Well done!!
How does this not have millions of views yet? This car.......
Chris and this car - the best combination ever. Thanks Chris for your outstanding review!
I just wanna point out that this car does 0-60 in less than 2 seconds FROM A STANDING START the model s plaid can only just make 2 seconds......... with some cheating. That is how reality changingly fast that nevera is. And i really hope Chris' boy, Neil, was responsible for that final drift shot. That was probably the best piece of camera work the BBC has ever done out side of the nature department.
I believe that in the US they like figures for "a bit more than zero, but not sure how much more" to 60 mph.
The Model S can only do that on a drag strip anyway.
@@robhills2613 the Tesla's time does not include the roll out time. So when the clock started it was already rolling but at like 0.5mph but the run started from a stop. So you can add 0.2s to the quoted time. And that is how they cheated
yeah and the tesla costs $108k not $2.3 million.
@@M3PH11 It may be more like 6 - 60 mph in 1.99 secs with 1ft rollout, or so it would seem from reported figures in other tests.
Had a huge smile on my face watching this. Chris is my hero!
For starters, that aventador svj is an absolute monster. To have been shredded like that really shows what electric can do
7:03 that's pure fun 😄 Unbelievable.
Best thing to come out of Croatia since Crop Cop.
Cro cop* 😅
@@Mirvalur You really don't have a life, do you? Than to correct other peoples spelling mistakes...
