The Rimac Nevera boasts 2,000 horsepower, a 258 mph top speed, and goes from 0 to 60 in 1.85 seconds. It is the most powerful production car ever built. Yet, the luxury automotive market doesn’t want it. With massive depreciation, slowing sales, and cancelled electric projects from giants like Pagani and Koenigsegg, the hypercar market is facing a massive identity crisis.
