The electric hypercar set a 'ring time of 7:05.298
in June. The Tesla posted a time of 7:25.231. Rimac shattered that record, wrapping up the lap nearly 20 seconds quicker. That's no embarassment for the Tesla, though, as the Rimac is a limited-production seven-figure 1914-hp hypercar, and the Model S Plaid is a 1020-hp family sedan that starts around $110,000. It's also worth noting that these times are not directly comparable to older 'Ring records, as the record used to be for a 12.
To celebrate this and all its other accomplishments, Rimac also unveiled a Time Attack Edition of the Nevera at Pebble Beach. The limited-edition comes with green stripes and green wheels, a tribute to one of founder Mate Rimac's first projects: A BMW E30 EV conversion. Buyers get to choose between black paint and bare carbon fiber as their base, and all Time Attack Editions come with green interior accents and special badging.
We're sure this isn't the last EV 'Ring record attempt we'll see in the coming years, as we've just now reached the point where electric cars can handle the heat and strain of lapping the brutal track. But for now, Rimac is king.Arguably the most fickle member of the Road & Track staff, Reviews Editor Mack Hogan is likely the only person to ever cross shop an ND Miata with an Isuzu Vehicross.
