Faraday Future has been quietly talking for months about making a new electric car?and not just a new electric car but a whole new concept of how to sell cars. The mysterious company has plans for a $1 billion factory in Nevada and is well backed by Chinese investors, but nobody has seen anything that has to do with the car.
But Faraday may have just leaked it a little early by mistake.
Apparently Faraday has an iOS app that is supposed to be released at the same time as the car, but one intrepid Twitter user found that the app was released long before it was supposed to, and inside it had details of the car. (The app has since been removed from the Apple App Store.)
It sounds?and looks?like nothing we expected, and we already thought it might be insane. Hey CES/tech/auto ppl, here?s some stuff about Faraday Future?s secretive concept, slated to be unveiled tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/bhHwaFHE4Y

Instead of an autonomous pod, we have a car that has “1000 horsepower quad-core drive,” can get to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds, can top 200 mph, and has something called “customizable battery string technology.” It also says that the cockpit provides a “paramount racing experience” no matter what mode you’re in, driving it yourself or riding autonomously.
