Faraday Future reveals just a little about its electric supercar

Backed by Chinese tech billionaire Jia Yueting, the car firm's first unveiling in Las Vegas revealed a modular high performance car, but little detail

California-based Faraday Future revealed its first prototype high performance electric car, the FF01, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Monday, ending some of the mystery that has surrounded a company some believed was a front for Apple's much-rumoured electric car.

The US-based company is funded, in part at least, by Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting. Yueting founded China's largest online video service and is rumoured to be worth some $6bn. While Faraday Future lists several of its high-ranking executives there is no information about who runs the business as a whole, and no chief executive is named on the company's website.
