One of the main competitors of Tesla, Faraday Future successfully held one of the toughest tests for your car FF91. The electric car managed to climb to the top of pikes Peak during the event in 2017 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. It is noteworthy that FF91 became the fastest electric car that has made the rise.
The record time is 11 minutes and 25,082 seconds. The engine capacity of the car is 1,050 horsepower. In addition, the electric vehicle was fitted with wheels of a smaller diameter than the serial models, and more narrow tires to provide better traction. The driver of the car was chief engineer of the company Faraday Future Robin the Clown. It is noteworthy that the previous record lift (which is owned Tesla Model S) Robin managed to beat more than 20 seconds, despite the fact that in the course of the rise with the machine was having some technical difficulties. As stated by Robin himself after participating in the race,
“Our goal was to make the car FF91 to jump beyond his capabilities. In addition, during testing, we were able to identify some problem areas. For example, one of the power relays of the battery and faults in the behavior of one of the printed circuit boards. This will allow us to quickly make changes to the design of the car, to future production version was spared from similar shortcomings.”
