Rimac’s Electric F1 Killer Teased – No Rules, Just Ridiculous Speed

Rimac just dropped a teaser for their upcoming single-seater track weapon. The Croatian EV hypercar maker isn’t messing around.

They’re building an electric track monster that will outrun Formula 1 cars. Not a typo.

Faster Than The Fastest Racing Machines

Mate Rimac, the company’s straight-talking CEO, has made his intentions crystal clear: this single-seater will outpace Formula 1 and Le Mans prototypes on most circuits.

No sanctioning body restrictions. No rule books. No compromises.

The fighter jet-style canopy and razor-sharp nose visible in Rimac’s official magazine teaser hint at aerodynamics developed without the handcuffs of motorsport regulations.

This isn’t some marketing department fever dream. The development is already well underway, with the car expected to debut before 2024 ends and hit tracks in 2025.

Bespoke Electric Brutality

Technical details remain scarce, but we know it will feature:

  • Electric propulsion system (likely multi-motor)
  • Closed cockpit with fighter jet-style canopy
  • Bespoke platform unrelated to the Nevera
  • Extensive aero surfaces for track-crushing downforce

The single-seater appears distinctly different from both the Nevera and Nevera R hypercars visible in the background of the teaser image.

Taking On The Heavyweights

Rimac isn’t entering this segment alone. Their track-only creation will square off against Red Bull’s RB17 hypercar – another no-compromise machine designed to demolish lap records.

The difference? Rimac’s creation will do it without burning a drop of fuel.

Safety measures will be incorporated, but beyond that, Rimac has thrown the rulebook out. The car operates beyond F1 and LMP technical restrictions, creating what could be the ultimate expression of electric performance on track.

When a company that already builds the 1,914 horsepower Nevera – capable of 1.85-second 0-60 mph acceleration – says they’re building something faster than Formula 1, even the most jaded gearheads should pay attention.

The electric revolution just got a lot more interesting.
