Over the past couple of years, there has been an ever-increasing demand for cars that run on gasoline alternatives, whether these are hybrids, electric cars, or even cars that run on fuels such as kerosene or ethanol. So far, Tesla is the market leader in creating these kinds of vehicles.
Although many people see Elon Musk's Tesla Motors as the top manufacturer of electric vehicles, with Fisker Automotive notably failing to produce a suitable competitor, a lot of companies still attempt to produce their own version of the electric car. One such company is the highly secretive automaker Faraday Future.
The California-based vehicle manufacturer recently unveiled their answer to Tesla's Model X and Model S in the form of the FFZero1. While Tesla's X and S models look more like an ordinary SUV and sedan respectively, Faraday Future's FFZero1 is a whole lot more exotic.
Compared to its multi-seated, family-friendly competitors, this new concept car from Faraday Future is a sports car featuring only a single seat in its sleek design. "You don't have to sacrifice anything for being sustainable. This is a 100 percent sustainable, electric, non-polluting vehicle, and it can be as dynamic as 1,000 horsepower," says Richard Kim, Faraday Future's head of design as quoted in an article on CNN Money.
Kim has previously worked in BMW's i3 and i8 projects. Faraday Future has also hired engineers and designers from notable car manufacturers such as Ferrari and the previously mentioned Tesla Motors.
The FFZero1 was revealed in this year's Consumer Electronics Show and it definitely turned a lot of heads. A lot of journalists have already taken note of it, including those from The Verge. ts design is based on its flexible chassis, which can be made longer or shorter to accommodate a differing number of battery packs. Because the FFZero1's chassis is flexible, it would be easy for Faraday Future to create different variations of it and even other models to include in their line of plug-in electric vehicles.
