California-based auto manufacturer Faraday Future has taken the electric vehicle (EV) industry by storm with the launch of its new generation FF 91 2.0, an electric hypercar that redefines the standard of intelligent EVs. Six years after its predecessor, the FF 91, the latest model promises to set new performance and technology benchmarks in the EV industry.
Faraday Future has also presented its latest technological advancement, the FF aiHyper 6×4 Architecture 2.0. This sophisticated AI-driven architecture promises vertical integration and horizontal penetration of FF’s six technology platforms and four technology systems.
Pricing and Availability
The FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance limited edition comes with a hefty $309,000 price tag, with only 300 units available for purchase. The standard FF 91 2.0 Futurist model has also been launched, however, its pricing details remain undisclosed.
Furthermore, Faraday Future introduced its unique “FF aiHypercar+” mobile ecosystem product, available for an annual subscription of $14,900 in the U.S. and China. According to the company, this product offers a comprehensive suite including software, internet, vehicle service, personalized AI algorithms, and hardware tailored to individual user needs.
Performance and Safety
Boasting a trio of electric motors, the FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance delivers an impressive 1050hp and 1977Nm of torque. It houses the largest battery pack in its category, rated at 142kWh, providing an EPA-certified range of 381 miles (613 kilometers).
The electric hypercar sprints from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in 2.2 seconds and offers an acceleration-to-weight ratio of 0.78, setting new standards in both traditional and EV segments. With dimensions of 5,250mm in length, 2,283mm in width, and 1,598mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3,200mm, the vehicle provides ample cabin space.
The vehicle’s “moat body structure” and “moat pack structure” introduce a side impact crumple zone, creating the industry’s largest battery crumple zone. This innovative design strikes a balance between occupant protection, high-voltage battery protection, and optimal vehicle packaging space. The FF 91 2.0 also meets all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) crash test requirements.
AI Technology
The highlight of Faraday Future’s launch is the unveiling of its next-generation technology architecture, the FF aiHyper 6×4 Architecture 2.0. This system is expected to bolster the hyper cross-platform integration and performance of FF’s vehicles.
The company stated that their new architecture vertically integrates components at the system level, thereby maximizing the performance of its platform technologies and AI systems. This end-to-end integration of AI capabilities achieves an all-AI integration with platforms and systems, heralding a new era of AI-driven vehicles.
