New American carmaker, Faraday Future, has released a video apparently showing its new crossover (although still under wraps) beating several vehicles in acceleration tests, making it the world's leading electric vehicle on acceleration.
Faraday Future is expected to reveal its first all-electric, connected and customizable crossover at the upcoming CES tech show in Las Vegas, January 5 to 8, 2017.
To show off its speed, Faraday Future has tested the vehicle's acceleration against some of the most powerful and performance-topping cars on the market. First up is the Bentley Bentayga, the British brand's first SUV equipped with a 610Hp W12 engine (0-60mph in four seconds). Next comes the Ferrari 488 GTB with its 670Hp V8 twin turbo engine (0-60mph in three seconds).
Finally, and perhaps more importantly, comes the Tesla Model X P100D in "Ludicrous Speed" mode, Faraday Future's real rival and a reference in the field, reaching 0-60mph/h in just 2.9 seconds.

In each of the tests, the Faraday Future crossover performed best on acceleration. And, as if that's not enough, the manufacturer promises more torque to come for even more spectacular performances.
Faraday Future also happens to be a partner of Chinese firm LeEco, which manufactures electronic devices (smartphones, TVs, etc.), and also previewed a fully autonomous concept car called LeSEE. The two firms could one day pool their knowledge and resources to build a vehicle that's both 100% electric and 100% self-driving.

Note that Faraday Future burst onto the scene at the 2016 edition of CES, causing a sensation with a spectacular concept car called the FFZERO1, a 1,000Hp single-seater with a top speed of 199mph.
