Rimac Nevera vs Lotus Evija — Which S2 Class AWD vs AWD Is Better in FH6?
Two very different approaches to going fast. The Rimac Nevera is AWD with 1,914 hp, the Lotus Evija is AWD with 2,011 hp. Here's which one wins — and why.
Putting the Rimac Rimac Nevera against the Lotus Lotus Evija is one of those comparisons that doesn't have a clean answer until you've run real laps back to back. The Rimac Nevera puts down 1,914 hp from a Quad Electric Motor, weighs 2,150 kg, and drives the AWD wheels. The Lotus Evija counters with 2,011 hp from a Quad Electric Motors, tipping the scales at 1,680 kg through the AWD wheels. On paper they look close enough that you'd think it comes down to preference. It doesn't — I've tested both extensively and the gaps are real, sometimes surprising, sometimes exactly where you'd expect.
In FH6 specifically, these two cars interact with the updated physics engine very differently. The tire model changes, the weight transfer rework, the differential behavior — all of it shifts the balance between AWD and AWD in ways that weren't true in FH5. I spent a full evening hot-lapping both on the same circuits back to back, and what I found changed which one I'd recommend depending on what you're trying to achieve.
Rimac Nevera — The Rimac Contender
Electric hypercar that broke 23 world records in a single day — 1,914 hp, four electric motors, and torque vectoring that makes physics optional.
The Rimac Nevera won't dance like a RWD car. Accept that upfront and you'll appreciate what it does instead: it demolishes lap times through consistency. Every corner exit is identical. The front tires pull you through understeer moments that would have spun a rear-drive car two corners ago. In FH6's variable weather — where a dry race can turn wet mid-lap — that predictability converts to positions gained while others are pirouetting into the scenery. The tradeoff is feel. The steering filters out some of the chassis nuance that RWD competitors serve up raw. You won't get the delicate, fingertip balance of a car rotating around your hips. What you get in return is the confidence to push harder, brake later, and commit to corners with less mental overhead.

Lotus Evija — The Lotus Contender
The combination of Quad Electric Motors and AWD layout makes this one of the more unique driving experiences in FH6.
The Lotus Evija won't dance like a RWD car. Accept that upfront and you'll appreciate what it does instead: it demolishes lap times through consistency. Every corner exit is identical. The front tires pull you through understeer moments that would have spun a rear-drive car two corners ago. In FH6's variable weather — where a dry race can turn wet mid-lap — that predictability converts to positions gained while others are pirouetting into the scenery. The tradeoff is feel. The steering filters out some of the chassis nuance that RWD competitors serve up raw. You won't get the delicate, fingertip balance of a car rotating around your hips. What you get in return is the confidence to push harder, brake later, and commit to corners with less mental overhead.
Full Specs — Lotus Evija
| Spec | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 9.6 | Straight-line speed is addictive. You'll find yourself ignoring corners just to feel it pull |
| Handling | 9.0 | Rear end gets a little loose if you're too aggressive on throttle |
| Acceleration | 10.0 | Mid-range torque is the sweet spot — 3rd and 4th gear pulls are brutal |
| Launch | 10.0 | Rear-engine layout puts weight exactly where you want it for a standing start |
| Braking | 9.5 | Stopping power is good, not great. Upgrading pads helps a lot |
| Off-Road | 2.5 | Actually fun on gravel with the right tires. Who knew? |
| PI (Stock) | 988 | Borderline X-class. One of the highest PI cars in the game |
Pros & Cons — Lotus Evija
Pros
- Gearing is spot-on out of the box. No awkward gaps in the powerband
- Stock tune is surprisingly competitive. You can win races without touching the upgrade menu
- One of those cars that makes you a better driver just by being in it
Cons
- Visibility in cockpit view is not great. A-pillars block your apex view
- Fuel consumption is rough in longer races. Plan your pit strategy accordingly
- Upgrade costs add up fast. Budget another 200k CR to make it truly competitive
Best Events — Lotus Evija
| Event Type | Rating | Notes |

Verdict: Which One Should You Pick?
Here's the honest answer after testing both cars back to back on the same circuits. The "better" car depends entirely on what you're driving for.
Pick the Rimac Nevera if: you prioritize cornering precision over straight-line speed. you race on tracks with long straights where top speed matters more. you want consistent launches and all-weather grip.
Pick the Lotus Evija if: you prioritize cornering precision over straight-line speed. you race on tracks with long straights where top speed matters more. you want consistent launches and all-weather grip.
If I could only keep one, I'd pick the Lotus Evija. Both are competitive in the S2 class meta though, and either one will podium consistently if you build it right. My advice: test both at the Autoshow, run a few laps on your favorite circuit, and trust the stopwatch. The numbers don't lie — even when your heart wants them to.
