The Rimac Nevera may be approaching the end of its run sooner than expected.
Auto Motor und Sport reports that the Croatian electric hypercar is being phased out by the end of 2026, with only 71 cars said to have been built from an originally planned run of 190.
For a car that helped define the modern electric hypercar, that would make the Nevera a far rarer machine than its planned production suggested.
At a glance
- Rimac is reportedly ending Nevera production by the end of 2026.
- Only 71 cars are said to have been built from a planned total of 190 units.
- The Nevera line included the standard model and the more focused Nevera R.
A shorter run for Rimac’s electric benchmark
The Nevera was shown in pre-production form in August 2021, positioning Rimac not just as a technology supplier but as a maker of fully realised electric hypercars.
The first customer car followed in 2022.
The production plan called for 190 units in total, with the standard Nevera capped at 150 cars and a further 40 allocated to the Nevera R.
If the reported figure of 71 cars built is accurate, the final tally would be less than half of the intended run.
The numbers that made the Nevera difficult to ignore
The Nevera’s reputation was built on extreme performance claims and record-setting runs rather than traditional supercar theatre.
The Nevera R recorded a top speed of 431.45 km/h, equal to 268 mph.
The car has also been credited with the fastest speed achieved in reverse, at 275.74 km/h or 171 mph.
On track, the Nevera lapped the Nürburgring in 7 minutes 05.298 seconds.
Its top-speed standing has since been eclipsed by the Yangwang U9 Xtreme, which reached 503.17 km/h, equal to 313 mph.

What an early exit would mean
The Nevera arrived at a moment when electric performance cars were still fighting for legitimacy at the highest end of the market.
Its records gave Rimac a way to frame EV performance in terms the hypercar world already understood, even if the car’s powertrain marked a sharp break from combustion-era convention.
A production run of 71 cars would also change the Nevera’s long-term story.
Rather than being a limited hypercar built broadly to plan, it would become a notably scarce chapter in Rimac’s early road-car history.
For collectors, technologists and anyone watching the electric hypercar space, the reported end of Nevera production turns an already significant car into a more finite object.
