Rimac Nevera Tuning Guide — Best Setup for FH6
Class Range: S2 | Base HP: 1,914 | Drivetrain: AWD (Electric) | Weight: 2,150 kg | Best Class: S2
The Rimac Nevera in FH6 is genuinely unfair. 1,914 horsepower from four electric motors that produce peak torque at 0 RPM. There's no turbo lag, no power band, no gear shifts — just instant, violent acceleration that makes internal combustion cars look like they're standing still. I've had people rage-quit lobbies when I pulled up in a Nevera, and honestly? I get it.
But electric power comes with a massive asterisk: 2,150 kg from the 120 kWh battery pack. All that weight means a completely different approach to suspension tuning. The Nevera's party trick is the torque vectoring system — each wheel gets its own electric motor, so differential tuning works differently than any gas-powered car. You're not locking diffs; you're telling the computer how aggressively to shuffle power between individual wheels.
Best Tuning Setups by Class
S2 (998) — Drag Destroyer
For drag racing. Soft rear springs let the back squat on launch. Low front tire pressure maximizes contact patch off the line.
S2 (998) — Circuit King
The balanced build for road circuits. Enough aero to handle corners, soft enough to ride curbs without upsetting the chassis.
S2 (998) — Grip Monster
Maximum cornering build. The Nevera's low center of gravity means it can handle more aero grip than most cars.
Key Tuning Parameters
Torque Vectoring (Instead of Differential)
The Nevera doesn't have a traditional differential — each wheel has its own motor. The "accel lock" setting controls how aggressively the outside rear wheel gets extra power during corner exit (torque vectoring to rotate the car). Higher values = more rotation, but also more snap-oversteer risk. Run 75-80% for circuit builds, 90% for drag. The "decel lock" controls regenerative braking distribution — higher values mean more rear regen, inducing lift-off oversteer. Keep at 15-20% for circuits.
Suspension & Handling
The low battery weight helps cornering stability, but don't let that fool you into running soft springs. Run 550-600 front and 480-520 rear for circuits. The regen braking adds rear brake bias — if you're getting loose under braking, reduce deceleration diff lock. If the car won't rotate on turn-in, increase it slightly.
Common Tuning Mistakes
- Treating it like a gas car. No turbo lag, no power band, no transmission. Focus entirely on suspension and aero.
- Too soft rear suspension for drag. Ultra-soft rear springs on a 2,150 kg car cause uncontrolled squat. Keep rear springs at 250-300 minimum.
- Ignoring regen braking. Regen adds rear brake bias. Tune it consciously, not as an afterthought.
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Car understeers on corner entry | Increase decel diff (more rear regen) to 25%, add 0.2° front toe-out |
| Snap oversteer on corner exit | Reduce accel diff to 70%, soften rear ARB by 3 clicks, add 0.1° rear toe-in |
| Slow top speed for S2 class | Reduce aero to 20% front/25% rear, increase front tire pressure to 30 PSI |
| Unstable at very high speed | Add 15% rear downforce, stiffen rear springs 40 lb/in |
