In photos: 1,000-horsepower electric concept built by poached Tesla talent
The FFZero1 - unveiled Monday night by Faraday Future - is a 1,000-horsepower, all-wheel-drive, optionally autonomous, fully electric car that seats only the driver inside a futuristic carbon-fibre cockpit and leaves room on the steering wheel to dock your mobile device. Faraday Future - the new kid on the block - a company led by former Tesla executives and backed financially by Chinese media company Letv, debuted the Batmobile-like concept car under a big-top tent on the Strip before CES began and in advance of breaking ground on a $1-billion production facility in north Las Vegas. The FFZero1 is unlikely to be produced. Its debut as a concept is to plant a seed in the consumer imagination.
