CES 2016: Faraday Future 745kW pure-electric hypercar leaked
Wild, 321km/h Le Mans racer-for-the-road leaked on firm’s iPhone app — not the SUV we were expectingThe car industry’s most secretive firm, Faraday Future, could have been a victim of technical glitch late last night when images and tech specs of an all-new pure-electric hypercar concept were uploaded.
Twitter user, @supererogatory, claims it spotted the images after Faraday Future’s iPhone app updated and it took screen grabs before the app was taken down.
If true, instead of a fully autonomous SUV to rival the Tesla Model X, the new concept car is said to have four engines that generate an incredible 745kW. This helps it hit 100km/h in less than three seconds and top out at 320km/h.
According to the images and captions released, the still-unnamed concept can be driven or piloted in a self-drive mode.
It also appears to have racecar-derived aerodynamics with a centrally mounted tail fin that also operates as a giant antenna to help the vehicle stay connected.
Faraday Future is said to be primed to show off its first ever concept later today, our time, at a special press conference ahead of its official unveiling on Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
