Faraday Future is off to a seemingly promising start with its recently unveiled FF 91 electric vehicle. While its design may come off to some as somewhat of an amalgam of a hatchback, crossover and minivan, it appears that plenty of people are interested in getting their hands on a 1000+ horsepower people mover. The Chinese company took to its Facebook page to announce that it received over 64,000 reservations for the vehicle in less than 36 hours. It should be noted, however, that you can “reserve” a FF 91 without actually putting down a deposit. The company also offers a refundable $5,000 priority reservation that makes you eligible to upgrade your order to an “Alliance Edition” FF 91. Unfortunately,...

The LeSee is being billed as a direct rival to the Model S and is...

This is the stuff that dreams are made of. Tesla Motors has dazzled the enthusiast community with its dual-motor Model S P85D, which delivers nearly 700hp of all-wheel drive goodness and rips off 0-60 runs in less than three seconds. However, a new company is entering the fray with an electric supercar concept that could easily blow the doors off a “garden variety” P85D. The Faraday Future FFZero1 is built on a modular Variable Platform Architecture (VPA), which allows the company to produce many types of vehicles with varying wheelbases and tracks. VPA also allows for front-, rear- or all-wheel-drive configurations along with one-, two- or even three-motor powertrain layouts. In...
