In the event of the recent turmoil, Faraday Future
wanted to reassure its partners, during their first Global Suppliers Summit in
Gardena, California, that they’re still on the right path.
The two-day event gathered almost “200
representatives from more than 100 global suppliers”, according to the
automaker, which also claimed that first deliveries of the FF 91 will start by
the end of this year.
However, that’s not the biggest announcement made,
as the company also teased another SUV. Slotting below the flagship FF 91, the
vehicle was previewed in an official sketch, labeled as “product concept”.
Design wise, it’s inspired by the FF 91, with slim headlights and similar
creases in the front bumper.
If it eventually gets the green light for production,
then expect a more down-to-earth styling, along with some of the technology
found on the FF 91, including its autonomous driving system.
The flagship SUV, shown at last year’s CES in Las
Vegas in prototype form, has four electric motors that take their juice from a
130kWh battery pack. The combined output stands at a staggering 1,050 hp and 1,800 Nm of torque, which results in a 0-96 km/h sprint in
less than 2.4sec.
Its smaller sibling would obviously arrive with less
power, but it could benefit from a similar zero-emission range, which, in the
case of the FF 91, is said to be 378 miles (608 km), as per EPA.
