Next Rimac supercar may not be 100% electric.

Rimac Nevera entra no Guinness a 275 km/h… em marcha-atrás!

Rimac Automobili, the company that produces the 100% electric supercar Nevera, which offers a power of 1903 hp and 2360 Nm of maximum torque, seems to be willing to bet on models that are not exclusively electric and with battery-powered engines.

Mate Rimac, founder and CEO of the company, recently revealed that the Croatian brand is studying the feasibility of a new technology that generates electricity using liquid fuels such as diesel.

In statements to “AutoCar“, Mate Rimac clarified that his company is not exclusively electric – and is doing the most exciting thing at the moment”, revealing that Rimac is working on a program that will determine if so-called nanotubes can be an effective source of energy for a vehicle.

The idea is to superheat chemically different liquid fuels to generate electricity that can be used to power an electric motor, thus dispensing with the use of batteries.

The CEO of Rimac gave the example of the possibility of LPG, hydrogen, and diesel being used as fuels to power this new solution, and admitted that his company has identified a startup that has been experimenting with this new technology on a small scale with promising results and that tests have suggested that nanotubes could operate with an efficiency of 80%, when the average for an internal combustion engine is 30%.

Mate Rimac also added that the byproducts of this process include CO2 and other gases, but much less polluting than those emitted by any conventional internal combustion engine.
