Absolutely spectacular donuts. That's the only thing I can think as the Rimac Nevera's nigh-on 1,900bhp, desperately advanced four-wheel drive and torque-vectoring systems are deployed in absolutely the least intelligent way possible. The windscreen becomes a blur of white, the Nevera whirrs around its own front axle like a propellor, and my stomach starts to wrap unkindly around my spine. A lift, a wriggle of the steering wheel and the horizon snaps straight on hard reset. Absolutely spectacular.
Probably not the feedback that the engineering team at Rimac was hoping for, given that we've travelled all the way up to the Arctic Circle to drive the pure electric Nevera, but that's what you get when you don't set proper boundaries. And surprisingly, Rimac didn't really set... any. Just head on up to the far north of Sweden to join Rimac's drivetrain and software gurus while they finalise systems on the Nevera during cold weather testing.
Find out what it's like to drive one of the world's most powerful production cars on ice, without studded tyres. Spoiling the ending of the story somewhat: it's really good fun.
