Watch the Rimac Nevela prototype being stamped into the dirt by the company's CEO

Rimac CEO Mate Rimac took a prototype of the company's Nevera electric hypercar off-road before it was scheduled to be destroyed in various crash tests.

The car is one of several pre-series models that Rimac has used for demonstrations and public events since the Nevera's launch earlier this year. However, this particular car is also for crash testing to obtain homologation for Nevera's worldwide sale.

In this video, Mate Rimac sends out the Nevera ahead of its day of destruction. Before taking it to the construction site of Rimac's new headquarters and technology campus near Zagreb, Croatia, he first points Nevera down a dirt road.

To review, Nevera is the production version of Rimac's C_Two concept car, which was first unveiled in 2018. Rimac continued development from its original concept version, and virtually "everything" was changed for the production version, Mate Rimac said in 2020.

Nevera's four-motor powertrain produces 1,914 hp and 1,740 lb-ft of torque. According to Rimac, the Nevera can do 0-60 mph in 1.85 seconds, the quarter mile in 8.6 seconds, and reach a top speed of 258 mph. The company also claims that Nevera will feature a drift mode and advanced driver-assist technology that acts as a driving coach on the race track. The price for all of this is approximately $2.4 million.

Rimac will not only develop its own hypercars in the future. The company has formed a joint venture with Porsche to oversee Bugatti's operations along with its own brand. The new Bugatti Rimac company officially began operations earlier this month and will be based in Croatia.
