# Faraday Future Will Show Its Production Car at CES Next Year

Elusive vaporware automobile company [Faraday Future claims it will actually be bringing](<https://fortune.com/2016/10/19/faraday-future-production-car-ces/>) a complete, [production-ready car to the 2017 Consumer Electronics](<https://fortune.com/2016/10/19/faraday-future-production-car-ces/>) Show in January, *Fortune* reports.

For now, official details on the car are scarce. The only information that was publicly released by the company Thursday was the January announcement date and a [short outline of the automaker's 2016](<https://twitter.com/FaradayFuture/status/788854741090570240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) high points to date.

Faraday's first production car “will be a premium electric vehicle that combines extreme technology, industry leading range, and holistic design,” a spokesperson with the company told *Fortune*.

The picture, shown above, depicts what appears to be a egg-shaped crossover similar to the Tesla Model X. That lines up with the [test mule spy shots *The Drive* reported](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/4967/faraday-futures-tesla-fighting-suv-spotted-in-the-wild>) on in August and the description and [graphic depiction Alex Roy gave us](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/1513/ive-seen-the-real-faraday-and-you-can-too>) in January.

Here's Alex Roy's take on the design from when he first laid eyes on it:

"The real Faraday is some kind of insane offspring of a minivan and a [Citroën XM](<https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/11/myths-and-legends-citroen-xm/>). Like a bloated Ford Scorpio or Renault Avantime. Think… a megapod family transporter, or a Megavan—fully electrified and autonomous—like something out of Sleeper or the original *Judge Dredd* comics. It is far more daring and revolutionary than anything from *anyone* else, although the F 015 is its spiritual brethren."

Many electric vehicle enthusiasts and members of the press were disappointed when Faraday showed off a non-running, Le Mans Prototype-styled concept car, the [FFZERO1, at CES 2016](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/1513/ive-seen-the-real-faraday-and-you-can-too>) last January. Since that event, the company has worked to build a name for itself in the electric racing world with [Penske in Formula E](<https://fortune.com/2016/10/19/faraday-future-production-car-ces/>); Faraday has also announced that it would be [teaming up with LG to produce batteries](<https://www.ff.com/press/faraday-future-supply-agreement-with-lg-chem/>) for its upcoming electric cars.

It sounds like Faraday is making progress, but we'll have to wait until we see its first real car at next year's CES for a proper examination of the company's work.
