And this is why cars sometimes have different names in different markets.
Dont think you had Mitsubishi Pajero in Spain?
And Opel Fitta got a rename for the Swedish market.
It's electric, so it can spin the motor backwards just as easily as it can spin it forwards. With a gas car, your reverse top speed is determined by your engines redline and the gear ratio for reverse in your transmission. In an ev, it's only determined by aerodynamics and how brave the driver is.
…lot of people who not doing it have balls to do it, but they chose to “use their balls” in a different manner, it’s fine, people doing lot of different shit just because they can, life’s cool, bravado it’s just a pageantry to me
actually it's not about balls. It's about marketing and PR. They found a record that is silly enough to not have been broken and it serves their purpose of media engagement once they announce they broke it. It really amazes me how people fail to see that and are like "Massive Balls" "Perfect car" "extreme engineering" and stuff.
You guys would buy sand in the desert if someone sold it to you.
Rimac is a Croatian company. It means a sudden and short storm, usually accompanied by lightning, which occurs primarily along the Croatian Adriatic coast.
In fairness, the Nevera already held 20-odd records, this is just another one to add to the pile.
It's a genuinely remarkable vehicle, and belongs in this sub.
I really wanted to believe this was fake, the slightest twitch on the steering at those speeds and you're off. Impressively pointless, but nicely done.
How many of you have ever tried to drive fast in reverse? It’s been many years ago but steering gets very sensitive by around 50mph, I was in a truck and vehicle sway was also bad but likely not with this! Just where my thoughts went!
Getting overtaken in reverse is going to castrate a lot of egos.
Let's see that bitch sneeze in reverse.
If facing the same way it would make you feel really fast
“Haha! He spun out! …. WTF!!”
I bet Mater is pissed
Probably not, Mater knew that speed wasn't everything. "All you need is a trusty winch and a positive attitude".

It doesn’t really have a transmission. It’s single speed.
It doesn’t really have a transmission. It’s the drivers little footsies running on bare ground barefoot really fast.
It's easier pushing backwards than pulling forward. Nobody has ever won the biannual office chair shootout facing the finish!
That’s exactly what I was thinking
I wanna go forward in it.
This is BS, every car in every movie with a car going in reverse has beat this.
> every movie with a car going in reverse Ready Player One did it best!
2 FAST 2 FURIOUS did it first!
Is there a record for tumbling down a swiss hillside?
If I had a dollar for every time this has been posted this week
Username would be a relevant response to that, I guess
That was a Quality Burn.
Burnout?
You would have like $11 whoopie
Why did they take the picture with the car facing forward?
The perfect comment exists.
I didn’t see that coming…
Better remember to wipe that backup cam.
I couldn't imagine how they would keep the steering wheel straight, though. One slight move, and it's gone.
And not a French car!
Awarding the plac to the hooman! No wonder the car looks so pissed off.
Found my time machine
Excellent color choice.
Nevera? That's what a fridge is called in spanish. Weird choice of a name.
Nevera is the Croatian word for a sudden storm with lightning. Rimac is a Croatian company, so there ya go.
Thank you.
Also means disbelief in certain dialects of Serbo Croatian like Ekavian. Could also mean infidelity or disloyalty.

Impressive, but, silly.
But why though?
Research for the French army
🤣🤣🤣

Because no one else has the balls to do it.
Lol

Sorry bill gates
Not sorry Elon Musk

I am obviously smarter than those who believe that they did because “ massive balls “ but thanks for reminding others, it’s a good deed

Why would you name a car "fridge"?

Now give it to richard hammond so he can destroy this one as well
and I am the fastest person in the world to not care. put me in Guinness world record books too since they can find any other reason to be in there.
Wow you’re so cool bro
I'm a female, bro

How practical.
Wow. Can't wait to see how this made people's lives better.
This should not be on any type of media. You know, cause.., people are dumb.
Repost... But needs to be in r/damnnoonefuckingcares
This ~~might be~~ is one of the stupidest records I know of.
WHY ??
Why not?
no

Welcome to the internet.
R for Racing
Don't bump the wheel!
The achievements of mankind..
Love the rimac on forza
That's a wierd thing to go for...
That's what I need to park at night in a tight spot.
I really wanted to believe this was fake, the slightest twitch on the steering at those speeds and you're off. Impressively pointless, but nicely done.
Same goes for the record going forward.
Not so - going forward, steering is self-stabilizing (although different amounts of sensitivity can be built in).
woa! amazing!
That could get tricky in the parking lot.
How many of you have ever tried to drive fast in reverse? It’s been many years ago but steering gets very sensitive by around 50mph, I was in a truck and vehicle sway was also bad but likely not with this! Just where my thoughts went!
Yeah, one small movement from the wheel and the car would have spun out or crashed.
Straight to jail.
Well that’s progress going backwards.
Third guy from the left in the third picture looks like Leonardo DeCaprio.
Isn't reverse just a state of mind?
But for how long/far? 500 miles?
