In this mean solar day and age , it seems everyone is bringing out newfangled ego - driving cars , and this latest fomite is no exclusion . But where this conception from Chinese companyFaraday Futurestands apart is not just in its stylish look , but also the applied science inwardly .
The car on show from the Formosan company was the electric FFZero1 , revealed at the CES 2016 show in Las Vegas yesterday . The self-reliant car is only a conception for now , and is simply meant to show off Faraday Future ’s ideas .
It ’s instantly noticeable for its Batmobile - like appearance ; the car feature aerodynamic tunnels at the front , which admit air to flow through the machine and cool its battery . It has 1,000 horsepower , and can apparently accelerate from zero to 60 mph ( 100 km / h ) in under three secondment , with a top swiftness of more than 200 miles per hour ( 320 km / h ) .

Inside , the number one wood is devote a windshield with augment reality , while they can also wear a helmet to supply oxygen and water . The seat is design to be tilted at 45 degree to give them an optimum vista of both the road and the dashboard .
The major innovation , though , is the battery . These are installed in a modular intent at the bottom of the automobile , and they can easy be reconfigured into other chassis sizes to make a whole stove of differently sized electric car . The company calls this the Variable Platform Architecture .
“ That platform is done on a very modular and elastic basis such that we can alter the size of it of the platform , ” Nick Sampson , a elderly Vice President at Faraday , toldThe Verge . “ The underlying story is all about the platform that ’s being built . "

Some have billed the vehicle as a direct contender to Tesla , although it appears the FFZero1 is not meant for output – and is only a gustatory sensation of what could be possible from Faraday Future . However , they are on the face of it planning to make a $ 1 billion manufacturing plant in North Las Vegas – the same plant where a examination track for theHyperloopis being built .
Whether the challenging claim of the companionship do come to fruition is anyone ’s surmise at the moment , but there ’s no denying the FFZero1 is a somewhat neat concept .
