Although Scervo did not suggest that Rimac would be developing a track-only supercar from scratch, there are a number of ways in which the Nevera’s weight can be brought down. Rimac currently quotes a mass of 5,070 pounds for the Nevera (an earlier figure suggested it weighs about 4,740 lbs), despite using a carbon fiber monocoque with a bonded carbon roof.
For a track-oriented version, Scervo suggests the car’s weight can be further reduced by using lighter electrical components and a downsized battery. The Nevera’s 120-kWh battery is large and results in a WLTP-estimated range of 340 miles. That’s a decent range for a performance car, even by the more optimistic WLTP standard, so there is some leeway for Rimac to install a smaller battery and save weight while still retaining an acceptable range. A battery that better resists range degradation during acceleration blasts could also be downsized, possibly without any loss in range at all.
