The Faraday Future FF 91 is an electric SUV that has been making headlines for years – not necessarily because of its successes, but because of the long delays.
A lot has happened since it was first introduced in 2017, but it wasn't until 2023 that the manufacturer announced that the car was truly "ready". But can the FF 91 keep up with the competition?
A price that raises eyebrows
In terms of price, the FF 91 is definitely in the upper class. 290.000 Euros The vehicle cost in 2023 – a sum for which you could also get a well-equipped Bentley or Rolls-Royce.
But that’s not all: Anyone who has the so-called FF aiHypercar+package with regular software updates and extended connectivity features, you must 13.950 euros per year A hefty price for digital features.
Impressive range and power
Despite the high price, the FF 91 scores with impressive performance data. The 130-kWh battery According to the US EPA cycle, it provides a maximum range of 613 kilometers – a remarkable value for an electric SUV. During a test drive of California to Las Vegas the vehicle 583 km without reloading.
Join in 1.065 PS and a brutal torque of 1.800 Newton metersThis means that the FF 91 sprints in just 2,39 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h – a value that rivals even super sports cars. Of course, this comes at the expense of range when you use the full power.
The charging power is 130 kW, which means that the battery can be recharged within a short time at a fast charging station – but compared to some competitors such as the Porsche Taycan or Tesla Model S this is rather mediocre.
Luxury in the interior – but a bit old-fashioned?
From the outside, the FF 91 has hardly changed since it was first introduced. The design still looks futuristic, but you could also say that it has become a little dated. This also applies to the interior.
This is where Faraday Future relies on maximum comfort, especially for the passengers in the rear. The Zero-G seats can be leaned back and offer massage functions. In addition, there is a 27 inch screenthat extends out of the roof lining – perfect for long journeys. In total there are 10 displays in the car, almost all can be operated via touch.
But: The whole setup looks like Nio, Lucid or Byton almost a little overloaded and old-fashionedThe system is based on Android AutoWhat was innovative a few years ago is now standard.
Every seat is monitored
A controversial feature is the integrated camera surveillance for every seatThe system recognizes the occupants using facial recognition and then adapts the entertainment and information offerings to the individual. Data protection advocates are likely to be skeptical here, especially since this function dates back to the early days of Faraday Future.
There are also features such as Video streaming, Wi-Fi and a so-called spa programThe latter creates a relaxing atmosphere by activating the reclining seats, turning on massage functions and providing soothing music and visual effects.
Autonomous driving? Only in the USA
Faraday Future promises for the FF 91 autonomous driving according to level 3 – but initially only in the USA. The vehicle is equipped with a solid-state lidar laser sensor which enables advanced assistance systems. It remains to be seen whether and when these functions will also be available in Europe.
Conclusion: vision of the future or outdated idea?
The FF 91 is technically impressive, offers luxury at the highest level and tremendous performance. But: For 290.000 euros you can now get more modern alternatives, which offer similar or better ranges, higher charging capacities and an equally high-quality Interior Offer.
Whether the FF 91 actually has a future remains questionable. All further information can be found in the video! Image and video credits/source: F | This content was created using AI and reviewed by an editor.
