An American startup technology company has displayed the world’s fastest self-driving electric car in Las Vegas.


‘Faraday Future’ describes its new car ‘FF-91’ as 'weird-pretty'.

It's a luxury electric SUV that will be the most technologically advanced on the market when it goes into production in early 2018.

Engineers say ‘FF-91’ is unique because of its great propulsion system which can push the car from nought to 60 in less than 2 and a half seconds. Its price would be around 180,000 dollars.

The company has received over 64,000 customer reservations shortly after unveiling the car.

Executives say the car's modular architecture and flexible battery layout will allow for a faster rollout of future models.
