The 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is the ideal place for the debut of an all-electric super car which is challenging the crown of all the big boys in the gasoline league. This is Faraday Future FFZERO1 concept, and it’s an electric race car claiming some seriously big numbers.

Now, we have seen concepts like this, created by visionary but often overly ambitious startups, coming and going before without offering something of practical substance. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with Faraday Future FFZERO1. For starters, it is created by a team of eccentric looking pioneers which is always a good sing. What’s more, the idea is so crazy, it might just work.

The powertrain in Faraday Future FFZERO1 is a quad-core electric system which means it has one electric motor per wheel with a total output of over 1,000 horsepower. That power has to carry a lightweight and extremely aerodynamic body made from carbon fiber and composites, shielding an interior that features stuff like smart-phone integrated steering wheel, augmented reality, and NASA-inspired zero-gravity driver’s seat for optimum comfort and reduced fatigue during a race. The car claims a 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a top speed of over 200 mph.

Faraday Future is planning to build a mega factory in Las Vegas and then get busy producing electric vehicles based on the technologies used in the FFZERO1.
