Watch this €2m Rimac Nevera skid around a construction site before being destroyed

Yep, even cars like the Nevera need to be crash tested. So before that: MUCH SKID

Published: 17 Nov 2021

Croatian hyper-EV merchant Rimac has ‘broken ground’ on a new site in Zagreb where it intends to build its new global HQ. Said global HQ will cost €200 million and be one of the largest combined R&D… wait, come back!

Let’s try that again. Croatian hyper-EV merchant Rimac intends to send yet another Nevera into the great beyond as part of its crash-testing regime, so boss Mate Rimac thought it prudent to not waste the opportunity to quite literally flog a soon-to-be-dead, very fast electric horse.

And flog it around, coincidentally, a new site in Zagreb where it intends to build its new global HQ. Because if you’re the boss of an electric hypercar company with a construction site and a €2m+ prototype at your disposal, you do what any rational, sane human being would do.

Massive skids.

Watch as Mate Rimac takes the beautiful new Nevera on a quick gymkhana tour of the Zagreb HQ, taking in such sights as ‘full opposite lock’ and ‘quite scarily sideways’ and even 'donuts ahoy', showing off the Nevera’s prowess off-road. Mate is after all, quite the helmsmith.

Interestingly, the new €200m HQ and campus will include a games room. Perhaps after this it should be a games ‘field’, instead…
