Rimac Refrigerator It’s one of the supercars of the moment and we’ve chosen it as the Best Sports Car at the Electric Awards 2022. Why? Because it has excellent numbers that provide amazing behavior that we have tested in the Arctic Circle.
This is a car from 1917 hp with four engines and four gearboxes that allow it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 2 secondsas well as achieving maximum speed 412 km/h. It’s crazy on wheels, but it’s more than just a fast car, it’s also very advanced. After all, this is the flagship of the brand.
Rimac has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. Founded by 34-year-old Mate Rimak, it offers electrical drives and systems to large manufacturers, but nowadays it is also associated with firms such as Bugatti. This is a company that has a lot to offer, and it’s all concentrated in the Refrigerator.
First, the car four engines and four gearboxes. Two of them are in front, on each wheel, and the other two are placed in the central part at the back. What is your function? Constantly maintain speed and acceleration, and this is very important.
If you turn off all systems, the car will still be fast, but it will slip more. However, thanks to elements such as “torque transmission to all Rimac wheels”, that the lack of adhesion is eliminated and behavior is clearly improving. Plus, it’s fully configurable, so it’s even possible to send all the drive to the front or rear axle.
This can be useful if you want to roll from behind, for example, but there is another way to do it. If you choose drift modeyou will be able to glide like an expert unnecessarily.
In any case, we will not deviate from the main thing, since this is an electric car and it has the qualities of this type of vehicle. One of them is its autonomy, almost 550 km. Most interesting, however, is its regenerative braking, which recharges the batteries and can stop the car more smoothly and effectively than the brakes themselves.
It is definitely something intellectual, and also its Built-in 13 cameras, 6 radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors. So Rimac Nevera can drive by itself, but it can also help you drive better. Yes, because it has a system that, no matter what track you go to, will tell you where you should stop and turn in order to get the best time.
All this is also achieved through elements such as his active aerodynamics and with battery placement that can be charged from 0% to 80% in 20 minutes, which distributes the weight perfectly. In fact, the car itself seems much lighter than it is, which is amazing.
Ultimately, this not a traditional supercar and should not be measured by these standards. The feeling is different, this is a new breed, although it is naturally felt quickly. It’s one of the fastest and most exciting cars in the world, but it’s also comfortable and handy. This is amazing and represents a new category in itself.
