Inside Rimac's Quest To Break Its Own EV Speed Record
04 Sep 2023 | Abstracted from Fast Company
"...the fastest you can accelerate forward is 1G,,' Neil deGrasse Tyson declared...a few months later, the Croatian automaker Rimac proved him incorrect
"In a pure “hold my beer” moment in April 2023, Rimac’s all-electric, 1,914-horsepower Nevera set a world record, launching from zero to 60 mph in 1.74 seconds.
"Formula One drivers pull 2Gs under acceleration, for example, and up to 5Gs while braking."
