Just prior to the kickoff of the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, Faraday Future hosted its own party to bring in the new year with its first production model, the FF 91 (pronounced “nine one” not “ninety-one.”) It’s essentially an electrical beast on wheels that promises decent range, an ultra-luxurious cabin, and a nice helping of intelligent technology. FF hasn’t spilled all of the beans yet, but we do know that the 91 is rated at 1,050 horsepower, offers an EPA estimated range of 278 miles, has autonomous capabilities, and has a charging speed of “more than 500 miles per hour.” According to Faraday Future’s press release, this electric supercar can hit the 60 mph sprint in a heart-stopping 2.39 seconds.
All of this sounds really good on paper, but one couldn’t blame you for being skeptical after all of the drama surrounding Faraday Future in the past. But, if you’re willing to take a chance, the reservation books for the FF 91 are officially open at FF.com and requires a fully refundable $5,000 deposit for your marked interest. Furthermore, the first 300 potential customers will have the option to upgrade their reservation to be on the official list for a launch-edition model that’s being dubbed the Alliance Edition. The option to do so will become available as early as March of 2017, so if you’re one of the first few to make a reservation, it’s something you might want to think about.
The FF 91 is set to go into production sometime in 2018, which means deliveries should commence in either late 2018 or sometime in the first half of 2019 at best. Then again, with a rocky past, you might want to expect delivery closer to 2020, just so you don’t find yourself let down. But, before that happens, let’s dive on in and take a good look at Faraday Future’s first production car.
