The full-size four-door boasts a sleek futuristic design, with an interior modeled after luxury jets, complete with rear seats that recline 55 degrees. It’s powered by twin electric motors that put out a combined 1,000 horsepower and allow it to accelerate to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, according to the company. That’s as quick as anything on the road today, including the Tesla Model S P100D.
