Faraday FF 91 on track for Dec
FARADAY Future is confirming the first deliveries of the FF 91 will roll out on schedule in December.
Faraday Future announced that the first body-in-white example of the FF 91 has been completed ahead of schedule at the company’s production facility in Hanford, California, before full production officially gets underway, and deliveries to real-life customers commence in December.
After making its debut at last year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the manufacturer says the FF 91 has been undergoing an intensive testing schedule before being put into production. After those welldocumented financial problems, recent fundraising efforts have proved successful and the project is back on track.
Just as well, since Faraday Future has an impressive 64,000 orders for its first all-electric supercar, which is priced between US$150,000 and US$200,000 (RM606,000 and RM808,000).
Perhaps in an effort to reassure existing and future customers, Faraday Future has released a list of the production steps and processes used in creating the FF 91, such as aluminium-resistant spot welding, cold metal transfer welding, and overcoming the issue of welding aluminium components to the FF 91’s steel body.
With a trio of electric motors generating a staggering 1,050 horsepower, the FF 91 will be able to get you from a standing start to 60 mph in as little as 2.39 seconds.
Although the manufacturer isn’t discussing the car’s top speed, presumably because it will be limited to 155 mph anyway, a more important figure is the range on a full charge. With a 130 kWh battery powering the electric motors, the FF 91 has an estimated range of 378 miles (nearly 605 km), and can be charged at a rate of 500 miles of range per hour of charging via direct current.
