Two days after Faraday Future unveiled the  FF 91  at CES 2017, the startup automaker has revealed that it has received over 64,000 reservations for the model. At the time of the FF 91’s launch, FF said that reservations could be made with a $5,000 refundable deposit. As  Jalopnik  points out however, you can actually make a low-priority reservation without turning over a cent. Additionally, multiple reservations can be made by the same person.

A year after Faraday Future unveiled a  crazy concept  at CES, the electric startup has presented its first production vehicle in prototype spec at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, dubbed the FF 91. Faraday Future says that the  FF 91  is powered by a 130 kWh battery pack and uses four electric motors sending power to the ground. All up, it delivers 1,050 hp and 1,800 Nm of torque and is able to launch from a standstill to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just  2.39 seconds . What's more, it also has an EPA-estimated range of 378 miles. According to the brand, the multi-motor setup of the FF 91 allows for real-time torque vectoring to the rear wheels to provide “agile cornering” and safety. The battery pack, co-developed with LG Chem, can be charged to 50 per cent with the included home charger in under 4.5 hours at 240 volts. As expected, the FF 91 supports autonomous driving but the company has yet to announce just what level of autonomy it will achieve. It has be...
