building upon their variable platform architecture (VPA) system, which was first shown at the CES 2016 with their ‘FFZERO1’ concept car, faraday future’s ‘FF 91’ supercar enhances the flexible powertrain to merge the chassis and body into a single form. this monocoque structure provides improved vehicle rigidity, safety, and handling, and also supports the all-wheel drive system that offers greater traction, control, and precise power distribution. furthermore, the VPA houses the advanced battery technology, which includes a 130 kWh battery that achieves a range of 378 miles, and can recharge at an astonishingly fast speed of more than 500 miles per hour.

the exterior design is dedicated to improving aerodynamics

 

 

driven by aerodynamics, the faraday future ‘FF 91’ has a sleek, rounded front yet an edgy, angular rear that not only looks striking but improves efficiency and thus the car’s range. its signature UFO line runs around the mid-section, highlighting the wide and long wheelbase of the vehicle. focusing on communication, the exterior lighting system establishes a deeper and more engaging connection between itself and the driver. as users approach, the ‘FF 91’ recognizes and welcomes them by illuminating a panel with the owner’s confirmation sequence.

collaborating with leeco, a global internet company that seamlessly blends devices, contents, and applications into an ecosystem, the ‘FF 91’ offers leading in-car connectivity. named ‘FF ecosystem’, it enables occupants to access apps and content, whilst learning their preferences to offer a smarter, more personalised experience over time. with this knowledge, the system remembers likings, such as seating positions, favorite music and movies, ideal temperatures, and even driving style settings. showing off its intelligence even more, the car features advanced facial recognition technology named ‘arrival interface’, which enables passengers to unlock it without the key.
