When Rimac unveiled the Nevera in 2021, the Croatian brand intended this 1,914-horsepower electric hypercar to be a GT of sorts. On Friday, Rimac unveiled the Nevera R, which excels at “lighter, faster, and more focused” cornering. According to Rimac, R stands for radical, defiant, and relentless.

Rimac updated the battery, brakes, suspension, and power to make the R.
