Rimac Nevera R: Beyond imagination

Rimac Nevera R: Beyond imagination

There are vehicles that define a class. And there are vehicles that define a benchmark for which there was not even a reasonable scale before. The Rimac Nevera R is just such a case: a fully electric hypercar that is not only faster than most of what we know, but whose technical logic stems more from the world of high-performance test benches, aerodynamics laboratories and control software than from classic sports car romanticism.Yet the Nevera R is not intended to be ‘just another special edition’. Rimac describes it as a counterpoint to the grand tourer concept of the original Nevera: less ‘hyper GT’, more ‘hyper sports car’. The letter R symbolises a philosophy that is rarely seen implemented so consistently in everyday life: radical, rebellious, relentlessly refined. The goal is clear – not only to achieve top speeds in a straight line, but above all to deliver a new level of quality in corners, when braking and in the feedback to the driver.

Luce: Ferrari's ingenious electric revolution

Luce: Ferrari's ingenious electric revolution

Rome is set to be the scene of a milestone that could hardly be more significant for Ferrari: on 25 May 2026, the manufacturer plans to present its first fully electric production Ferrari to the public. The name of the model has already been decided – ‘Luce’, Italian for ‘light’. And it says it all: not as a departure from tradition, but as a deliberate starting point for a future in which performance, emotion and electrification come together. Ferrari is not just talking about a new type of drive system – but about a new chapter in the brand's identity.Three phases until the world premiere – and a deliberately built-up suspense arcFerrari has designed the launch of the Luce not as a classic ‘curtain up’ moment, but as a multi-stage unveiling. After the early technical visualisation of key components, the next, strongly design-driven stage followed in early 2026: the name and interior were revealed in advance, without revealing the complete exterior. This dramaturgy is no coincidence. It signals that Ferrari does not want the Luce to be seen as merely an ‘electric model’, but rather as the start of a separate segment within its own model range – with its own character, its own design language and a clear message: electrification is not an end in itself here, but a tool for new possibilities.
