Gardena, Calif.-based startup Faraday Future Inc. showed a teaser image of what is expected to be its first vehicle at the Formula E electric vehicle race over the weekend in Long Beach, Calif.
The company, which was one of the sponsors of the race, didn’t provide any details about the vehicle. The darkened silhouette is shaped like a tall crossover model with a rakish roofline.
Media reports note that the vehicle's flat floor could carry a battery pack for an all-electric powertrain.
In January Faraday introduced its first concept model, the futuristic Batmobile-like FFzero1 electric vehicle. The company also released a video that showed the car’s modular platform transitioning from a racecar to a crossover/SUV. Faraday has said the variable platform architecture can accommodate a variety of body styles, wheelbases and electric/hybrid configurations.
Formed in mid-2014, Faraday is backed by Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting. The company’s ambitious ramp-up plans call for it to launch vehicle production at a new plant in Nevada by the end of 2017.
