Innovative tech start-up Faraday Future has finally unveiled its first production car which it calls the FF91, in Las Vegas ahead of CES 2017. The Faraday Future FF91 electric car, whose production was backed by LeEco was exhibited live before a packed arena of tech enthusiasts and reporters and the company even demonstrated the prowess and features of the car. LeEco president Jia Yueting was there live actively involved in he exhibition.

The FF91 has an autonomous driving feature, something Faraday Future had not mentioned in the past. The self-driving feature allows for the driver to alight from the car and then send the car to go park itself as well as summon the car when needed. The company showed a video of the car searching for a parking spot and parking itself when it found one. This it was able to achieve using the avalanche of sensors, cameras, and radar which the car comes with.

Another highlight of the Faraday Future FF91 electric car is its speed. The car is touted as being able to hit 60 mph in just 2.39 seconds, a few miliseconds faster than the Tesla Model S. A video of the FF91 beating the Model S in a race was also shown. It was not just video sessions all through, as Faraday Future also demonstrated the car’s full acceleration on stage.

Aside that, the electric car also has an endurance range of 378 miles as against the 315 miles the Tesla Model S is capable of. In addition, the car has a lot of extra tweaking like a dual antenna that allows for Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity. There is also a facial recognition which allows the owner into the car without the need for the car key. More so, the car is not crammed up as there is enough space inside of up to 151 cubic feet.

The final price tag slammed on this innovative car isn’t known yet and its still not known if the car can successfully take on the Tesla Model S and Model X.

As the CES 2017 draws nearer, more details about LeEco-backed Faraday Future electric car are emerging. Before now, it had been established that the car would be unveiled in Las Vegas on January 3 during the Consumer Electronic Show (CES). It was also revealed that the car isn’t just a concept piece anymore but what we’ll be seeing during CES 2017 is a production version ready to go on sale in 2018.

Further details on the likely price tag of the Faraday Future electric car have now emerged, with suggestions in some quarters that the car is likely to carry a price tag of around $150K – $200K USD.

The LeEco-backed electric car is said to have a range of up to 300 miles (482 km), thanks to the large 92-kWh battery it packs inside. The car is even faster than the Tesla Model X.

It is likely, though, that the company is looking to get buyers to key into the concept car so as to help boost its finances. Already, LeEco is swimming in troubled waters financially and Faraday Future is also said to be battling financially. It is reported that the company is hoping to bring in new investors during the CES 2017 unveiling, if not it would go bankrupt in February. We hope the company survives, though, as there are rumors that the innovative company is also planning a midrange electric car to debut in 2020, codenamed Project 81.
