Rimac has broken yet another speed record. The car manufacturer has now smashed the record for the world's fastest car... in reverse, all by using its supercar, the Rimac Nevera.
As announced in a press release, we're told that the car managed to clock in at 171.34 mph while travelling backwards, and that it managed to nearly match its 0-100 mph time of 3.21 seconds while in reverse.
Speaking about the record, Rimac test driver, Goran Drndak, stated: "On the run itself, it definitely took some getting used to. You're facing straight out backwards watching the scenery flash away from you faster and faster, feeling your neck pulled forwards in almost the same sensation you would normally get under heavy braking. You're moving the steering wheel so gently, careful not to upset the balance, watching for your course and your braking point out the rear-view mirror, all the while keeping an eye on the speed. Despite it being almost completely unnatural to way the car was engineered, Nevera breezed through yet another record."
This all comes after Rimac and the Nevera managed to shatter over 20 speed records in a single day earlier this year, as well as managing to set a new top speed record, when the car managed to achieve the blistering speed of 256 mph.
