6 EVs With the Most Horsepower
We get pretty jazzed up when we get behind the wheel of anything that has more than 300 horsepower, so the bar is low. When it comes to electric vehicles, that horsepower number can get into the stratosphere. The number of high-output EVs is growing by the month, or so it seems. Even more mainstream EVs like the 2025 Kia EV6 can generate as much as 641 horsepower in Launch Control mode, even more than the Porsche 911 Turbo's 572 horsepower. That's impressive for an EV that costs less than $64,000, but what about the high-end, high-performance electric vehicles out there? How much power do they produce? Here are the six EVs with the highest horsepower figures in 2025. Prepare yourself to see some astounding numbers. Not so long ago, Lotus was making small gas-powered track cars with less than 400 horsepower. Today, the iconic British carmaker builds an electric hypercar, the Evija, with 1,972 horsepower. The Evija uses four electric motors-one for each wheel-delivering precise torque distribution and organ-crushing acceleration. The power output is aided by a light and rigid carbon fiber monocoque structure, and the Evija can sprint to 60 mph in under three seconds and top out at over 200 mph. Less focused on straight-line speed and more on track duties, the Evija is a nimble, track-carving hypercar that looks more exotic and powerful than anything the brand has ever built. At $2.3 million, only 130 of them will be made. Mate Rimac founded the eponymous Croatian electric supercar brand in 2009, and its greatest creation is a monster of an electric supercar with power exceeding even the most powerful gas-powered competitors. The Nevera has a 120kWh battery that powers four motors, one dedicated to each wheel, for a total of 1,914 horsepower. The Nevera can rocket to 60 mph in a mere 1.85 seconds and can claim a top speed of 258 mph. It also has advanced torque vectoring to maximize its handling capabilities. Only 150 units will be made, and our guess is that they're already spoken for, even at a price of over $2 million apiece. The renowned Italian design house, Pininfarina, is famous for designing some of the most iconic cars from Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati. Now, Pininfarina is creating its own cars that look to the future instead of the past. Case in point, the electric Battista, a luxury hyper-GT that blends Italian design with astronomical power. The Battista actually uses a powertrain developed in partnership with the aforementioned Rimac, and its quad-motor setup produces 1,900 horsepower. It can achieve a 0-60 mph time of less than two seconds and a top speed of 217 mph. Priced at $2.2 million, the car will only ever see 150 units built. Lucid Motors isn't just about building elegant EVs with airy cabins and cutting-edge technology. It also makes electric muscle that outdoes any luxury sedan made today. The Lucid Air Sapphire costs $250,000, and it has the firepower to back up that price. With 1,234 horsepower from its tri-motor powertrain, the Air Sapphire can easily claim to be one of the quickest production sedans in the world. 0-60 mph happens in under two seconds, meaning it can pretty much destroy everything else out there, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and the like. It also gets a ridiculous 427-mile range on a full charge. Your Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid can't do that, can it? Not far behind the Lucid Air Sapphire is Tesla's bad boy, the Model S Plaid ($94,990). Having roasted numerous exotic supercars in YouTube drag races, the Plaid is insane for what's essentially an electric family sedan. The 1,020 horsepower from its tri-motor setup means the Plaid can launch to 60 mph in 1.99 seconds and hit a top speed of 200 mph. To boot, the Plaid provides 348 miles of all-electric range and transports five adults in comfort. Even if someone wants to kick your Tesla out of hatred for Elon Musk, just mash the throttle and you'll be outta there in no time. The GMC Hummer EV ($99,045) is the return of the original Hummer and then some. This time around, it's a different kind of powerhouse-an electric pickup or SUV that moves with alacrity via a tri-motor setup producing up to 1,000 horsepower. The monolith of an EV can sprint from 0-60 mph in around three seconds, besting some of the quickest sports cars in the world. All this from a vehicle that weighs over 9,000 pounds is a Herculean achievement. The Hummer EV also comes standard with CrabWalk mode (which allows it to move diagonally) and adaptive suspension, making it way more agile than anything this size has a right to. The horsepower figures on this list would have been unthinkable just a decade ago, but EV technology has made it possible for cars, trucks, and SUVs to push the envelope of power. Each one of these vehicles meets or exceeds the 1,000-horsepower mark, and that's no joke. They're proof that electric vehicles are rewriting the rulebook for what's possible in automotive performance. More than just batteries and motors, these vehicles exhibit cutting-edge technology, innovative design, and, in many cases, a surprising degree of luxury and comfort. However, you'll still have to resituate your facial features back to their normal location after pushing these to their limits. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Low-Mileage Rimac Nevera Supercar Hits Auction With $1.1M Bid and Rising
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A barely driven Rimac Nevera—one of the world's most advanced and extreme electric hypercars—is currently drawing serious attention on Bring a Trailer, where bids have already cleared $1.1 million ahead of Friday's auction close. Chassis No. 006 of just 150 units slated for production, this 2023 Nevera was delivered new to Ohio's Triple F Collection and has been meticulously maintained since. With only 1,371 miles on the odometer, it offers collectors the rare opportunity to own one of the earliest and most pristine examples of Rimac's groundbreaking EV, without the wait or markups typical of the ultra-exclusive hypercar market. Dressed in shimmering Pearlescent Nevera Blue and accented by the Carbon Level 2 trim package—a combination that reportedly added $100,000 to the original spec—the car's dramatic butterfly doors open to reveal a matching blue leather interior fitted with dual widescreen displays and carbon accents. But looks are just the beginning. Beneath its sleek exterior lies a quad-motor electric powertrain generating a staggering 1,914 horsepower and 1,741 lb-ft of torque. That's enough to rocket the Nevera from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 1.74 seconds, with a top speed of 258 mph. Range is estimated at 300 miles, though few owners are likely to test its long-distance cruising potential. At the time of publication, bidding has reached $1,112,111—well below the original sticker price but expected to climb. For collectors chasing bleeding-edge performance, futuristic design, and exclusivity, the clock is ticking on this high-voltage offering. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Buy This 2023 Rimac Nevera On Bring A Trailer To Have Your Mind Blown
I've been lucky enough to have driven a lot of high-performance cars in my fairly short career, from internal combustion–only supercars to powerful hybrids and new EVs, but none have been as impressive as the Rimac Nevera (and its Pininfarina Battista sibling). What the Croatian company has managed to do with this hypercar and its quadruplet of electric motors is astonishing: it accelerates like nothing else in the world and has absurd handling capabilities, yes, but it's also shockingly livable, interesting, and genuinely engaging. Now you can experience that for yourself by bidding on this 2023 Nevera that's currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer. I mean, if you have a couple million dollars to burn, that is. With four days left in the auction this Nevera currently sits at $1,112,111 as I write this, and the reserve is surely gonna be higher than that given the Nevera's starting price when new of more than $2 million. Read more: GM Hopes A Clutch Pedal Is Enough To Make Enthusiasts Buy EVs This Nevera is number 6 out of the car's 150-unit production run, and it was delivered to the Ohio-based Triple F Collection in June 2023. The window stickers lists the Nevera's base price as an even €2,000,000, which shakes out to $2,163,905, on top of which this particular car has $147,146 in options (€136,000). The spec is absolutely outstanding, certainly one of the best Neveras that I've seen so far. On the outside the car wears pearlescent Nevera Blue paint, a $21,639 option, along with $86,556 worth of black carbon-fiber parts. My favorite option is the chrome finish on the wheels, which cost $10,820. More supercars need chrome wheels. The inside is even more wild, with Light Blue leather set off by white stitching and other white accents. It's so much more interesting than all the hypercars you see with mostly black interiors or too much Alcantara. All that blue leather did cost $4,328, with an additional $4,328 just for the blue leather steering wheel. Also making up the options list are "metal anodisation" and "metal accent," each for $9,738, which I assume is for the various metal bits in the cabin. The odometer reads 1,371 miles, which is about a dozen charges — the EPA rates the Nevera as having a 204-mile range, though in the real world it's probably more like 250. That is, as long as you aren't driving like a complete hooligan, which is tough given the Nevera's 1,914 horsepower and 1,741 pound-feet of torque. As a reminder, the Nevera will do 0 to 60 mph in 1.74 seconds and run the quarter-mile in just 8.25 seconds, and it has an EV-best top speed of 258 mph. The Rimac is fantastic to use as a normal car doing normal speeds, though. It has a ton of cargo and interior space, a comfortable ride, strong regenerative brakes, good visibility, and an easy demeanor. It's no more stressful to drive around town than an Ioniq 5. So, it's a shame this Nevera has done such few miles, but now's your opportunity to pack on thousands more. If this spec isn't to your liking there are still new Nevera build slots available, though you'd likely have to go for the Nevera R variant, which is even more powerful. Want more like this?

This Barely Driven Rimac Nevera Supercar Will Fetch at Least $1.1 Million at Auction
Here's one auction to watch if your car collection is in need of a jolt of electricity. A 2023 Rimac Nevera is currently up for bid over at Bring a Trailer. Any example of the electric super is special, but this one has the added benefit of having barely been driven since leaving the factory in 2023. More from Robb Report This 1993 GMC Muscle SUV Just Sold for the Highest Price on Record This One-of-a-Kind Aston Martin Bertone Shooting Brake Is Heading to Auction These 6 Barely Driven Porsche 911s Are Hitting the Auction Block There have been a fair number of high-performance EVs over the years, but none have raised expectations quite like the Nevera. When the $2.4 million vehicle debuted in 2022, it proved that an EV could do anything an ICE hypercar could do—and more. Porsche was so impressed, that it made a sizeable investment in Rimac Automobil, and, eventually, put its founder, Mate Rimac, in charge of Bugatti. The Nevera up for auction on Bring a Trailer is the sixth example from the initial 150-car batch and was delivered new to Ohio-based Triple F Collection in the summer of 2023. The athletic two-seater's surprisingly elegant exterior is finished in a stunning coat of Pearlescent Nevera blue that has been spruced up with the Carbon Level 2 accent package (those two options would have added $100,000 to the price of the vehicle). Open the butterfly doors and you'll find a matching blue leather interior with giant displays for the driver and passenger. The production version of the EV is three years old at this point, but it still feels like a glimpse of the future. The Nevera will turn heads, but its most impressive feature, without a doubt, is its fully electric powertrain. The setup includes four electric motors that combine to produce a ridiculous 1,914 hp and 1,741 ft lbs of torque (and the new Nevera R is even more powerful). Thanks to all that power, the car can slingshot from zero to 60 in 1.74 seconds and reach a top speed of 258 mph. The range comes in at 300 miles. Unlikely anyone would ever take the Nevera on a road trip. This example has totaled just 1,371 miles over the last couple yof ears, so it should be capable of still reaching all those numbers. Are you already picturing how the Nevera will look in your garage? The auction runs through this Friday. As of press time, bidding had reached $1,112,111. That number is less than half the original price, though, so expect it to climb in the days to of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.
