Move over, Model S; you’re no longer the quickest game in town. The electric powertrain specialists at Rimac have taken the Nevera hypercar to a test track in Germany where it set a total of 23 new performance records. Among these, a 0-60 mph time of a mere 1.74 seconds and a standing quarter-mile in just 8.26 seconds. That means the Nevera can even outrun the mighty Model S Plaid, which needs a second more to run the length of a drag strip.

Perhaps the most impressive record is one that few cars, electric or otherwise, are even capable of. It’s the 0–400–0 time—hit 400 km/h (249 mph) from a standing start, then brake back down to 0 mph. In 2017, Bugatti set the standard when the Chiron completed this test in 42 seconds.

But that record was snatched away by Koenigsegg, the innovative Swedish hypercar manufacturer, first with an Agera RS with a time of 36.44 seconds, then again to 33.29 seconds, then later to 31.49 seconds using a Regera hypercar.
