Faraday Future SUV (teaser)
Faraday Future has
released a second teaser image for its first production model set to debut at
next year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The new model is largely
expected to be a crossover.
We are shown a shot of the vehicle’s
rear, which does make us question on the legitimacy of its “production-ready”
status. The culprit? Those small cameras that are in place of the wing mirrors
are certainly illegal many countries, unless Faraday plans to market the
vehicle exclusively in Japan.
The teaser also shows us an interesting
taillight design that appears to mirror the front grille from the first image
shown to us, featuring an illuminated FF logo in the centre. We also get to see
a flowing roofline and large rear windshield that appears to end near the
lighting units.
Curiously, what looks to be an off-centred,
protruding “shark fine antenna” can also be seen in the image, which could
serve more of a purpose than allowing you to hear some radio tunes. As we’ve
seen atop an earlier prototype, this could be the car’s LiDAR sensor that
supports autonomous driving features.
The Faraday SUV will ride on the company’s Variable
Platform Architecture (VPA) that features a modular battery structure, allowing
for a variety of vehicle types and electric motor configurations. More details
will be released when the vehicle is revealed in full on January 3, 2017.
