Chinese-backed electric car unveiled at top gadget show

The automotive future according to a new electric carmaker looks an awful lot like a Corvette crossed with the Batmobile.

California-based Faraday Future debuted its sleek electric concept race car on Monday night during the annual CES show that focuses on consumer gadgets and has increasingly become away for carmakers to show off their latest technological feats.

The 18-month-old company that has remained much of a mystery until recently revealing its primary backer, Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting, won $335 million worth of incentives from the state of Nevada last month to build a $1 billion manufacturing facility in a hard-hit Las Vegas suburb.
