With the ET 0.4s higher than previously, there is no way the distance on this run was actually 1/4 mile. It was probably longer and that's why the trap speed is much higher.
 
Yeah, I know they put "1/4 mile" sticker on there but that doesn't mean that was actually the distance. They could have measured 450-500m and say it's 1/4 mile because it sounds better and people are more familiar with it.

If the Nevera can do 8.6s trapping at 167mph, then with 189mph trap it should be doing low 8s, not 9s. We know that electric cars have very consistent and reliable launches so it's not like they could have messed up the launch somehow to explain the poor time. That the distance was actually longer is the only explanation.

You need to do the hours of research on the materials that are out their video. Croation Newspapers etc. It's only come out lastnight NO WAY you've done that. At all.

If your accusing the organisations or Rimac Automobili I'd put your efforts there.

There was more than 1 run. And yes I know the times and speeds. Good Luck finding them I was up most of the night.

And Brooks on Dragtimes CONFIRMED he was only running 1600hp on the United States of America during the VHT World Record. It's on Instagram. Nothing further. I'm satisfied with the evidence and specifications. The time is proof vis a vis.

He's created history. That's all I know.

You do realise if the Italians or Quattroroute get hold of it it's going to go SO quickly no one will believe it! LOL!

Brooks from Dragtimes says video plus GPS. And that's true. I'm sure Rimac took Dragy's because I bet lastnight they were celebrating late into the morning. ;)

Depends on the launch really. Slower times often come with higher speeds simply because there's more time to accelerate. Either way 189.6mph in 9.0s is considerably faster than even the original claim of 0-186mph in 9.3s.

Officially NHRA drag strips are allowed to have a 60ft elevation difference between the start and the finish. Many drag strips even have a slight uphill at the start to put more weight of the rears, followed by a downhill after the first 100m.

I don't know why you ignore the part of my post where I specifically talk about the launch.

More to the point, though, I am starting to suspect that it's not actually the length, but their timing system being completely inaccurate.

There is a video from the same event where the Nevera races against an SF90... and the SF90 is clocked at 9.238s at 274km/h (170mph) - which is more than 20mph higher than what the car does normally and the ET is much lower. Now, you might think that SF90 was not stock, but what really puts the timing into question is that in that same race the Nevera was clocked at the same 9.1s as in the race against the Audi (and this time trapped at only 272km/h). Here is the kicker: In this race it was more than 10 car lengths ahead! So how is the time less than 0.2s apart?

Here is another angle so you can see the difference in distance better:

That looks like 1s+ difference... definitely not 0.17s.

They need to release GPS it's as simple as that. I saw two cars line up next to each other and that 1500/1600hp Audi is a very quick car, proven and verified in it's own right and the results were shown on the boards in multiple video's monitors and external displays the big ones.

I further looked for anything I n the press and I translated a piece from Croation site or newspaper. The next step is to benchmark it. I know the Bugatti Chiron Supersport has done 9.3 @161MPH so the trap speed of just under 190MPH had me very seriously scratching my head. The World Record was done on 1600hp and as I said that's a fact. So taking in whatever full power gets you 1800/1900hp whatever they are claiming I thought might just push the trap speed up. It should do anyway.

Anyway, as with my opening gambit GPS please. Track or car. I pray this isn't a "SSC" type situation.

I asked Brooks from Dragtimes what he thought occured, and he simply stated the timing was inaccurate. Rimac are lucky, it seems like it's blown over. But had it of been Bugatti it would have been very different indeed.

All that aside the car on speedometer was literally 1.X seconds adrift of records pace at 340km/h even including the passenger.

It'll break more records!
 
So from the Jay Leno shoe the salient point. It was nearly 50 minutes long! LOL!

1.85 seconds 0-60MPH achieved they are stating.
219MPH electronically limited speed. 258MPH top speed but didn't clarify how to achieve it.
0-130km/h = 1G average forces felt.
Regenerative braking plus brake by wire and hydraulic braking component. Will check again.
25 production units this year followed by 50 production units next year.

Etc.

Frame by frame measurements proven to be accurate under 0.02 seconds but CANNOT account for speedometer inaccuracies or digital passenger readout discrepancies!

Km/h

0-100= 2.612
0-200= 5.624
0-250= 8.053
0-278= 9.784
0-325= 14.36
0-340= 16.306
0-341= 16.406

🙃
 
276.46km/h= 171.79MPH which what Matt Watson achieved in the 1/4 mile @ 8.62 seconds.

Compared to above, that's over 1 second quicker. This hypercar is yet to give up all her secrets.
