Rimac Is Reportedly Ending Nevera Production After Selling Just 71 Cars

Rimac is ending production of its all-electric Nevera hypercar at the end of 2026, Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport reports. And somewhat surprisingly, the same report suggests that just 71 of 190 planned Reveras were built over the course of its production run.

The base Nevera, and its later Nevera R variant, have held a number of records, including the title of world’s quickest car, what was once the EV lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and a quarter-mile run under 7.9 seconds. Those numbers may not have been enough to make the model a hit with buyers, though. According to the report, 51 of a planned 150 base-model Neveras were built, and 20 out of a planned 40 Nevera Rs reached production.

While the apparent final tally of Nevera production is striking, it is part of a larger pattern of electric hypercars failing to find an audience. The Lotus Evija once competed directly with Rimac’s Nevera, but Lotus has since moved on to a hybrid supercar with V-8 power. Former Rimac stakeholder Porsche once considered its own electric hypercar, only to pivot to an internal-combustion supercar instead. Even as cars like the Tesla Roadster and Yangwang U9 Xtreme make headlines with record-setting stunts, there are questions on whether or not a conventional hypercar buyer would be interested in paying for an EV.

Whether or not the Nevera itself was a success, the halo car did succeed in raising Rimac’s profile. Namesake founder Mate Rimac is now fully in charge of Bugatti, and Rimac Technology provides electric powertrain components to major cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo S. As the most significant electric hypercar to reach the market to date—well, perhaps along with the closely related Pininfarina Battista—the few Neveras in private hands represent a major leap forward for both electric performance and the Rimac brand itself.
