The Faraday Future FFZero1 Is A 1000bhp EV That'd Make Batman Jealous
Nope, this isn’t the next Batmobile, nor is it some crazy concept cooked up by Peugeot that’ll never happen in real life. It’s actually the Faraday Future FFZero1, and it’s a quick EV. Maddeningly, stupidly, Tesla annihilate-ingly quick. Thanks to four electric motors, it’s good for over 1000bhp, enough for a 0-60mph time of under three seconds and a top speed of 200mph.
All sounds jolly exciting, but FFZero1 - revealed at CES - is more of a showcase than a preview of a production car, and what it’s showcasing is the chassis. Faraday Future - a Californian start-up backed by Chinese investors - calls it the ‘Variable Platform Architecture (VPA)’, a flexible system that will allow it to create a variety of different sized vehicles.
Anything up to four motors can be installed, meaning both two and four-wheel drive layouts are possible. The wheelbase and crumple zones can be stretched and more batteries added to increase range, but the front and rear wheel units don’t change, meaning it’ll be much simpler and cheaper for Faraday Future to produce a wide range of vehicles, something it wants to do in around two years.
Watch your back, Tesla…

FF, wonder what that stands for…
Fast and furious
Fookin Fast?
Duracell kicked in yo.
Its still a concept tho.
Tesla ? Don’t worry about them, the Roadster’s second gen will make you forget about this concept.
Oh it’s a car?
FFzero1 will make appearance in FnF
Tesla, now Faraday, what next? Edison?
maxwell?
Edison was an ###hole
Seems like they missed the design deadline for Star Wars. Now they are dreaming seriously.
I can’t explain how uninterested I am in anything these electric companies have to offer
Renault Alpine Vision GT concept + Chiron in this design
