Faraday Future teases new electric car, debuts in 2017

faraday future 1

Another electric vehicle manufacturer is poised to enter the fray, though it’ll be 2017 before its first car arrives on the scene. California-based Faraday Future says its offering will be “100% electric, zero-emission, fully-connected and personalised in ways never even considered possible.”

There’s only a teaser image of the FF EV thus far, and the company’s website is sparse on the info, save to say it’s made up of an eclectic band of creatives, coders, engineers and believers who want to deliver clean, connected, smart mobility for all.

Motor Trend, however, reports that FF is one ambitious automaker, continuing to hire aggressively despite already having 200 people in its employ. The company claims to have recruited hundreds of the best of the best technology-focused talents from the most innovative companies of today, and the notable names in mix attests to that.

The publication reports that the FF cast includes former BMW creative director Page Beermann as well as Richard Kim, former head of design on the BMW i8 and i3 concepts and Nick Sampson, ex-Tesla. It also reports that the FF’s multi-cell battery is expected to have a 98 kWh capacity and that the module will be designed for mass-production, with applications determined by different capacities.

  • Other Countries vs Malaysia on Jul 20, 2015 at 5:15 pm

    Whilst other countries are focusing on improving their economy and inventing inventions, Malaysia is still talking about covering women’s legs, sarong and all that.

    Other countries progress improving their GDP per capita whilst we are so scared to see women’s legs for fear the men will stim

    • Other Citizens vs. Certain Malaysians on Jul 20, 2015 at 6:21 pm

      While citizens of other countries concentrate on how to contribute to society, some Malaysians wants only to spew venom, ridicule & think less of others.

      Sure, the best way to foster innovation is to keep these kind of issues alive, keep referring to them whether relevant to the discussion or not, because surely *they* ALL think the same way, right?

      Plus it’s fun bashing them, don’t ya think? =]

      • Malaysians as a whole have become a very entitled lot.

        They gripe a lot (esp on the webs & forums) on their misfortunes yet arent appreciative of what they have and reluctant to work to get they want.

        When it comes to each other, its profits and self-interest that matters. Ethics and fairness gets the drain. As long as its their benefits or family benefits they will screw and try to cheat each other. Thats common for all races too.

        Some will say ini semua salah Gov/BN, but ultimately you are who you want to be. If you can be swayed to be something else and not work for it, you are a pathetic human being.
