It"s supposed to be a test bed for future "clean, intuitive electric vehicles" from a new carmaker called Faraday Future. It"s also completely bonkers. Welcome everyone, to the 1,000bhp FFZERO1.Yep, packing as much power as a McLaren P1 GTR, the FFZERO1 is a new concept car unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. And using four electric motors, it is exceptionally fast.In theory at least, but we"ll come back to that. The speed of course is a cherry; the idea is connectivity. You slot your smartphone into the steering wheel and setup the car to your exact needs, and it features all the future-stuff you"d expect: virtual and head-up displays, and an intuitive UI".The car itself sits on a new Variable Platform Architecture" developed by Faraday, which features a battery structure centrally mounted for integrity". It"s hooked up to those four motors, and housed in an aero-honed body built from carbon fibre and other lightweight composites.
