17:06, 25 Dec 2022

Nico Rosberg took delivery of a Rimac Nevera in his hometown of Monaco just before Christmas. The electric car has a new price of more than US$2 million. The engine produces almost 2,000 hp and you accelerate from 0 km/h to 100 km/h in about 1.8 seconds.

The Rimac Nevera has a top speed of around 400 kilometres per hour, making it the fastest electric car at the moment. Whether Rosberg bought the car himself or received it as a gift from a sponsor is not known.
