Rimac Nevera Discontinued Early, Ending Hypercar Run With Just 71 Cars Built

Rimac Nevera Discontinued reports have electric performance fans reaching for the brakes. The Croatian hypercar reportedly leaves production by the end of 2026. Only 71 cars are said to have been built from a planned run of 190.
Rimac Nevera Discontinued Before Its Time
Engineered as a no-compromise electric hypercar, the Nevera was unveiled in pre-production form in August 2021. Production of the standard car was capped at 150 units, with 40 slots reserved for the track-focused Nevera R. Still, only 71 have been built, which tells a story about demand and timing.
Few cars deliver throttle response like this. The Nevera R reached 431.45 km/h (268 mph), and it still holds the fastest reverse speed at 275.74 km/h (171 mph). Its Nürburgring lap of 7 min 05.298 seconds proved the chassis could handle serious lateral Gs. Enthusiasts wanting more context can read about the first Nevera R delivery on Auto News Magazine.

Yangwang Snatches the Top Speed Crown
The Yangwang U9 Xtreme recently claimed the top speed record at 503.17 km/h (313 mph). Chinese engineering now owns that headline number. Even so, the Nevera R set a benchmark for steering precision and chassis composure, and that legacy outlives any single record. In reality, Rimac Nevera Discontinued news carries a bitter irony, since the hypercar that proved electric speed was possible is now the one being overtaken.
A Collector Future for the Nevera
On paper, a 71-car run guarantees rarity. Ultimately, collectors will chase these cars as the factory closes its doors. Expect values to climb above the original price of $2.2 million (est.), especially for well-documented Nevera R examples with low mileage.
