Zero to Sixty in Under One Second?

During Monterey Car Week, the Rimac Nevera made it’s highly-anticipated US debut.  The 1,900hp+ electric hypercar is touted to accelerate from 0-60mph in an astonishing 1.85 seconds, but the Rimac Nevara’s Chief Program Engineer Matija Renić said something even more astonishing.
