Why does a European company state their km/h numbers with 1-ft roll-out and done on a drag strip? Such a clown move. Might as well go with 3-ft roll-out next and drag radials (if not equipped already)... If the numbers aren't comparable to all the other 0-100km/h numbers that all the manufacturer post assuming normal surface and no roll-out, then what exactly is the point? It's just lying, isn't it..
Also, 0-80% charge in 20 min... IF you have a 500kW charger... which don't exist.

I agree. I was disappointed when I found out it was with one foot roll-out. So in reality it's about 2.2s to 100Km/h and about 9.5s to 300Km/h.

It's even worse, actually. If you look the performance section on Rimac's webpage and switch to mph, it actually says 9.3s for 0-180mph, not 186. Which makes a lot more sense seeing as Carwow got 0-172mph in 8.6s (not sure if with roll-out or not). You are not gonna go 172-186mph in 0.7s, even in a 1900hp car (my spreadsheet says 1.4s).
2.2s at a drag strip maybe (and even then that's pretty optimistic). Curiously, though, in the Carwow video he got 2.08s 0-60mph on the Vbox. Again, not sure if that's with roll-out or not. In the Ferrari he got 2.43s and yet when he got a good launch in the Ferrari it was neck and neck until they emerged from the tire limit phase and the Rimac started pulling ahead. And they also did a brake test with both cars stopping in equal distance. So there was no indication the Rimac had more tire grip and should be 0.3s faster to 60mph. Not sure why Carwow would run non-1ft-roll-out setting on the Vbox for the Ferrari and 1ft-roll-out setting for the Rimac. If they did, then that's some BS...

Yeah, well, on their site it says 180 mph
.And I am more inclined to believe 180mph based on the 1/4 mile result of 8.6@172mph. Based on that, the 0-186mph should be 10.0s. Like, who knows if they even tested anything. The 1/4 mile time might be taken straight from Carwow's measurement and I am yet to see a clear evidence of 0-60 in 1.85s. Also, the difference between 0-60 and 0-62mph for a car that's accelerating that fast is 0.8s, not 0.12s, so I am not sure how they came up with 1.97s 0-100km/h.

Unless it is a typo, that makes no sense. A faster accelerating car should take less time to go from 60mph to 62mph than a slower accelerating car, so should take even less time than .12s, not more (.8 like you claim).

Right, meant 0.08s. Thanks for the correction.

This Pinninfarina's desibg has so much in common with the Ferrari SF90 (except for the ungainly rear of the Ferrari).Whoohoo its stupid fast but good grief it's a dated looking car. If I was in the market for one I'd buy the mechanically similar Pinninfarina Battista.

Yep, the Battista is certainly a gem.
I guess that one cannot help but to allude to the Rimac/VAG collaboration when it comes to the Neveras' design. There's something "German" or perhaps even "Porsche-like" about it. The Battista, on the otherhand, is dramatically Italian. Both are absolutely stunning.
