6 luxurious supercars that challenge Tesla's electric supremacy
Foreigners enter the game. And quickly.
It is a great automobile irony that electric cars, although widely regarded as tomorrow's vehicles, are actually simpler than yesterday's vehicles. This is because electric cars require 80% less parts than the old-fashioned fuel pigs (many electricals occur without transmissions, for example), and the manufacturing process eliminates costs and complexity. The result? A revolution of the car during which foreigners - and I'm not just talking about Tesla here, I'm surprising in the game with big viable machines.
This will explain why you have never heard of some brands in this list. But do not let this cloud your opinion: these are all uncompromising supercars who share complete electric mobility and a performance that is equal - if not exceeds the upper internal combustion engines from any manufacturer. So, read it for an overview of the future (which is literally around the corner). And for larger car recommendations, here is the10 prestigious sedans showing the boss of who is the boss.
6 FARADAY FUTURE FF 91
Faraday Future exploded in 2015, announcing its prototype of FF 91 not in a traditional automotive show, but during the massive emission of the electronics of the consumption of Las Vegas. (Will show what they think about the past.) And if / when the FF 91 materializes, it will certainly increase the bar of electric cars - at least in terms of raw performance. The FF 91 goes from Slingshot to 60 mph from a standing start in a 2.39 second head-to-head. The maximum power of three distinct engines is 783 kW, equal to 1,050 horsepower with a range of 378 miles.
The FF 91 should include a fully autonomous driving and advanced facial recognition technology, called an arrival interface: a keyless input system that recognizes the faces, including passengers, as well as their expressions and temperament. With this information, the FF 91 will encourage a series of actions aimed at improving your car fun by adjusting music, temperature, perfume and massage, among other things. This has a potential to become fast. Presumably, the FFCTRL application, which can also be used to instruct the vehicle to park, then invoke the back, will allow you to withdraw from this technological overrun. Other innovative keys include a panoramic roof with intelligent gradation glass technology. The roof plus the rear and lateral windows have polymer dispersed liquid crystal, developed by Mercedes-Benz and activated by tapping on the glass to darken instantaneously.
A major warning: the charge time leaves a lot to be desired, with a capacity of 50% in less than 4.5 hours to 240 volts with the exclusive Faraday household charger, included in the box. The prices of this new generation supercar are expected in the $ 180,000 range. Sales will be managed online, but no word about what it means for vehicle service calls.

5 Fisker's emotion
Henrik Fisker, extraordinary automotive designer, has carved significant machines, including the BMW Z8, Aston Martin DB9, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Galpin-Fisker Mustang Rocket and Force VLF 1 V10. Its new baby, the emotion is a pure battery vehicle that will come with a 145 kilowatt hour battery, nearly 45% larger than Tesla, with a range of more than 400 miles per load. . Associated with a system of 800 volts, double that of most EVS, the efficiency of the load load will constitute a significant improvement over competing cars, with a nine-minute load sufficient for 100 miles of range using of the exclusive ultradhagion unit of the vehicle.
Ultra-light carbon fibers and aluminum rims help reduce the 40% rotation mass, a major weight reduction that has improved its range. The panoramic cameras integrated in the side mirrors offer a 360 degree view and the company claims that its patented frontal collision structure exceeds current federal safety standards. High speed greater than 161 mph.
On the way of production 2019, prices will begin at $ 129,900. The emotion will be sold via Fisker Online and "Experience Centers" said being in development. Tackling the question of service and maintenance, Fisker has partnered with a new chain of North American service centers specializing in advanced electric and hybrid vehicles, known appropriately under the hybrid store name. With 36 stores currently, plans require 400 service centers around the world by 2019. Pre-orders are underway towww.fiskerinc.com.

4 Nio EP9
The Nordschleife Nordschleife circuit of 13 miles Notorily stimulating at the Nürburgring, the house of the German Grand Prix, is the place where the carmakers of the world are manifested by their best things. The last supercar to master the track and claim the Pinnacle of Performance is Nio Chinese start, with its electric EP9. Capable of 194 mph and from 0 to 62 (100 kilometers) in 2.7 seconds, it currently has the recording of the 6 minute tower, 45.9 seconds, assuming that the fastest electric car of the world's title (although not the maximum speed). The 1,360 EP9 horses is legal street, but not yet in the seven American examples has been built so far, customized with a price tag of $ 1.48 million. The second set of ten EP9 is currently looking for takers.
EP9 has four high performance integrated motors and individual transmissions to each wheel, generating a power of 335.25 horsepower, for a total power of 1,341 hp (1000 kW). It has motor wheels with a torque vector system that adjusts power to each wheel. The range of batteries is claimed up to 265 miles, although it is probably not true for lead feet. The recharge takes a relatively fast 45 minutes and the entire battery unit is replaceable in an 8-minute crisis.
Although only a few, only a few will always have a hand on an EP9, the lessons learned by this first fine effort will be proven in an autonomous mass emission published for 2020, the Nio Eve. Promoter of a new lighting future of illuminated technology, the standby has "an artificial intelligence engine with an intuitive human interface [name], providing verbal and visual connections in the vehicle and with the outside world. Eve constantly learns on its Occupants and their preferences. It's a digital companion, a robot on wheels. "
This "global start" self-proclaimed with engineering and design offices in places on the planet, evokes a very different world than we know. Nio is ready to amaze.www.nio.io. Now, while you think of the cars of the future, checkThe best new cars to hit the road in 2018.
3 Rimac concept a
Traval far in the land of Fairytale Croatia, you will find a brilliant little company called Rimac, named for its young, bold founder, Mate Rimac. The origins of the company start in its garage at the age of 19 where Rimac started by converting its old BMW E30 to electric after blowing the engine run. Fast forward seven years, he and his cohort have stunned the world's motor press with their concept electric supercar, a carbon-fiber monster of 1,070 horses.
The powertrain deploys four electric motors and four gearboxes mounted in the center of each axle. The front units are classified in a combined power of 671 horses and rear motors break 804 hp. It uses regenerative braking to increase up to 400 kW of extra power, throwing a concept one at only 6.2 seconds to 124 mph. The maximum speed between 221 mph. The concept is a lighter, stronger and more aerodynamic update generating 1365 horsepower and 1328 lb-pi of torque.
Currently built by hand and costing more than a million dollars each (like the one that Richard Hammond, host of the Grand Tour, has recently destroyed in its spectacular Alps Swiss), production will go to higher volumes for Provide the new current dealer network in North America, Europe and Middle East.www.rimac-automobili.com.
2 Mission Porsche E
Persy intends to maintain its engineering leadership, perhaps expressed the most beautiful EV execution to date. Surprisingly, the mission E (expect a clinical name in launch time) to increase in the Porsche range under the Panamera, at about $ 50,000 to $ 80,000, targeting Tesla Test Tesla 3. like Tesla and Other EV manufacturers, on the air update capacity is a certainty, including a remote upgrade power. In addition, and a kind of crazy for, a Porsche, at the first blush, will be the inclusion of Level 4 autonomous driving technology that allows autonomous driving in almost all situations. This is the best of both worlds with sports car driving dynamics when conditions allow it and autonomous capacity in closing traffic.
The end printed: 600 horses (440 kW) via double electric motors with a torque-vectoring of all four wheels. Zero to 60 comes in 3.5 seconds, with a range of 311 miles. Lithium-ion floor-mounted batteries are able to recharge 80% in a brief 15 minutes with a specially developed system of 800 volts. Porsche also offers a wireless induction coil that integrates into a garage floor. Who knows, maybe this car will crack the list ofThe 10 biggest porshes of all time.

1 Lucid air
The next lucid air, founded by a former Executive of Tesla, is about to make a splash. It has been observed in track tests at speeds up to 235 mph, and it will include a semi-autonomous mobile system, formerly Tesla partner in the development of autonomy, now belonging to Intel. It is the right dimensioning of the current market with the external dimensions of a Class E Mercedes and the inner scale of a Class S. With regard to the inner and external design, it is another dimension. An option of frame seats includes reclining rear chairs, clearly designed with the Chinese market in mind, where the luxury of the rear seat is very popular.
In an apparent contradiction, Lucid considers sports driving as high as autonomous driving. But it makes a perfect sense. As Porsche's shiny spirits have concluded with motion E, it is necessary of both. Currently, the standard air, at the price of about $ 60,000 comes with a single 400 horsepower rear engine generator unit (289KW) providing 240 miles range. The batteries, developed in collaboration with Samsung, will synchronize with the fast chargers of the KW DC company currently in development.
Lucid will also propose the 255 first cars built as an exclusive launch of lots, well-appointed with unique colors and designation, at a price of more than $ 100,000. The main features include a power of 1,000 horses, a two-wheel drive unit and a motor wheel, offering 315 miles range on 21-inch rims, with high-end audio. With that, it is not exaggerated to say that lucid is on the right track to become a new intelligent luxury parangon.
