Forget Wimbledon, because Rimac and Koenigsegg are playing an extremely high-profile game of doubles that’s both a) extremely fast and b) admittedly extremely lengthy.

Rimac has smashed the latest volley, because its Nevera R has managed 0-400-0kmh (0-249-0mph) in 25.79s. That’s 2.04s quicker than Koenigsegg managed last year in the Jesko Absolut.

The Jesko bettered its Regera sibling’s time of 28.81s, which was faster than the original Nevera’s time of 29.93s. Might need a neck massage after all this.

Ditto the driver of the Nevera R, because along with blitzing Koenigsegg’s record, Rimac chalked off a further 23 records, going faster in every metric it famously smashed through back in 2023.

So, put down the strawberries and cream and take a deep breath: the Nevera R did 0-60mph in 1.66s (vs 1.74s back in ’23), 0-62mph in 1.72s (0.09s quicker), 0-100mph in 2.96s (-0.25s), 0-200kmh in 3.95s (-0.47s), 0-300kmh in 7.89s (-1.33s), 0-200mph in 9.25s (-1.61s), 0-400kmh in 17.35s (-3.96s), 100-200kmh in 2.22s (-0.37s), 200-250kmh in 1.65s (-0.35s) and 200-300kmh in 3.89s (-0.9s).

And breathe. It also managed: 0-100-0kmh in 3.32s (-0.67s), 0-200-0kmh in 8.58s (-0.27s), 0-300-0kmh in 14.49s (-1.19s), 0-400-0kmh in 25.79s (-4.14s), 0-250-0mph in 26.2s (-5.21s), a quarter mile in 7.9s (-0.35s), and a standing mile in 19.71s (-0.88s).

Flat out, it managed 268.2mph (431.45kmh).

There were a few more but the internet only has so much room, taking the tally up to 24 shiny new acceleration records proving once again what you already had a very strong inkling about: mad fast car is really very mad and very fast.

Need a reminder why it’s so mad and so fast? The Nevera R’s gains over it ‘regular’ sibling include a better aero package that takes in a fixed rear wing and bigger diffuser (15 per cent more downforce), Michelin Cup 2s, better torque vectoring, and a bit more power – 2,078bhp versus the standard Nevera’s 1,888bhp.

“When we first introduced Nevera it almost seemed like the pinnacle of hypercar performance had been reached,” said big boss Mate Rimac. “In a single generation, we had created a performance jump that previously would have taken decades.

“But now, through relentless innovation, Nevera R goes even faster, while still maintaining much of the comfort and practicality that makes the Nevera a real, usable daily car. Breaking records is in our DNA, and we won’t stop here.”

‘We won’t stop here.’ Ominous. Especially when Rimac noted how the original Nevera blitzed the Nürburgring in 7m 05.298s, and set a hillclimb record at Goodwood back in 2023 with a time of 49.32s. And wouldn’t you know it – it’s Goodwood this weekend.

“There’s plenty more opportunity for Nevera R to now hunt down those remaining records and more,” said Rimac. Your move, Mr Koenigsegg…
