Faraday Future unveil concept car at Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas
This article is taken from here
FOR the past 18 months California-based electric car company Faraday Future has been operating in secret.
All that was really known about the company was that it had a large financial backing, had poached some of the motoring world’s brightest minds and was working on electric cars.
However, last week the company used the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to unveil its high-performance electric car prototype.
Known as the FFZERO1, the concept car claims to possess four electric motors and 1000hp, which will propel the car from 0-100km/h in less than three seconds.
The four motors also help the concept reach top speeds of 320km/h.
A glass roof will come as standard to offer a clear view to its white carbon fibre interior containing a smartphone mount in the centre of the steering wheel, a helmet used to supply the driver with water and oxygen, and a safety system designed to support the driver’s head and neck.
The company teased that there would be “limited production” of the vehicle, but it is a distinct possibility that the FFZERO1 will never see the light of day.
The concept is being used to showcase the potential of the vehicle’s underlying platform, known as the “Variable Platform Architecture”.
Faraday Future senior vice president Nick Sampson said the platform would be highly customisable.
“That platform is done on a very modular and flexible basis such that we can change the size,” he told The Verge.
What this means in the company’s vehicles could chop and change the power of its cars on a day-to-day basis to suit the needs of drivers.
