AP The electric car company Faraday Future revealed its first concept car on Monday evening at a press event in Las Vegas. Unlike some had speculated, the car Faraday unveiled was not it first production car. Rather, it was a pure concept car that aimed to show off the company's design vision and engineering platform. While the vehicle, dubbed FFZero1, is unlikely to go into production, it still boasts some impressive features that may appear in future production models. Here's a look at some of the coolest features Faraday included in its concept vehicle, some of which we may see in the company's eventual production cars.

Faraday focused on showcasing performance in its first concept car. The FFZero1 boasts more than 1,000 horsepower and can go up to 200 miles per hour. AP The concept car can go from zero to 60 in under three seconds and features four motors, one at each wheel. While this car is unlikely to go into production, the company is likely to eventually roll out high-performance vehicles as part of its production line-up, Nick Sampson, Faraday's head of research and development, told Tech Insider.

Faraday also described its concept car as completely autonomous, a feature that we will likely see at least in part in future vehicles. Benjamin Zhang/Business Insider Faraday is working on developing self-driving car technology and envisions a future where cars are capable of doing the driving, but humans have the option of intervening when they want to. While the FFZERO1 was positioned as completely autonomous vehicle, it's unlikely Faraday's first production car will have that level of autonomy. But Sampson did tell Tech Insider the company does has some interesting self-driving technologies in the works for its future cars. "The initial car will have some elements of that in it. The level of autonomy currently in a Mercedes and in Tesla is fairly basic. We are looking in the not so distant future to develop something much more interesting than what you would see on today’s Tesla. But that’s looking forward to the future," Sampson said.

The car is designed to give it speed and keep its batteries cool. Cadie Thompson/Tech Insider Aero tunnels that run length-wise make it so air flows through the car, not around it, which helps reduce drag and cool the batteries. Faraday's first production model likely won't look too much like the company's race car, but Faraday did say that the line that runs along the contours of the car, which the company called the "UFO line," will become a signature feature.

The car has a sleek, mostly white interior with a carbon fiber finish. AP The seats, which are positioned at a 45 degree angle, were inspired by NASA research, Richard Kim, Faraday's lead designer, said during the company's press event. The positioning helps promote better circulation, he said. While we don't know if the seats in Faraday's production cars will look anything like this, we do know seating in Faraday's cars will get a lot of attention. Kim recently told Tech Insider that every seat in its cars will be equally great. “Now when you are driving and you are in the passenger seat or the back row, someone gets the short end of the stick. We are trying to create an experience where everyone gets something phenomenal,” Kim said.

The FFZERO1 is highly connected and we can expect to see the same in future production vehicles. Rob Ludacer Connectivity is a big focus for Faraday. The concept car features a highly personalized experience where the car will learn the driver's preferences and adjust accordingly. It also provides access to live images and real-time data visualizations. Sampson told Tech Insider we can expect to see similar features in the company's production vehicles. He said the car will use data stored in the cloud about the customer to customize all kinds of settings, from music preferences to your driving mannerisms. "When the screens in the car turn on, they can be your home pages. If you just turn your phone or TV inside the car, everything will be familiar and is what you want and how you like it," Sampson told Tech Insider. "And because you store your music on the cloud, and your emails on the cloud and your films and games and everything else that is part of your connected lifestyle, your shopping lists, your preferences, the restaurants you like, that is all know by the same way is already starting to be known. It will get an idea of the kinds of things you shop for and bring up ideas on the side of the screen before you even realize it," he said. The smartphone, which is integrated into the steering column in the FFZero1, could play a key role in helping connect the driver to the car so that it can connect to the correct cloud.

While the performance features of the car are impressive, the most significant thing the company announced was actually the modular platform on which the concept car and the company's future cars will be built. Faraday Future Faraday's engineers designed a new engineering platform called the Variable Platform Architecture (VPA) that is specifically designed for electric vehicles. The platform allows for the engineers to easily adjust the length of the chassis, which in turn allows the company to quickly make different size bases. It can be used to make pretty much any type of vehicle.
