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.

The charging time for the battery pack has not been revealed, but the company says it can withstand regular fast-charging without any degradation, unlike most batteries used in electric cars today
