CES 2016: Drive to design the world’s ultimate electric car

Talk about a flight of fancy. Faraday Future, the electric vehicle startup backed by Chinese internet billionaire Jia Yueting, has unveiled a concept car that would probably struggle to gain mass acceptance even if produced.

For starters, the FFZero1 concept car, shown for the first time in Las Vegas before the Consumer Electronics Show, has just one seat. The car’s space-age style white cockpit was inspired by Nasa research, and has oxygen and water fed to the driver’s helmet.

If Faraday built this car, it would have the equivalent of 1,000 horsepower, not exactly what one drives to pick up the kids.
