Things just keep getting crazier over in China. I recently reported on the V8 supercar revealed<\/a> at the Auto Show in Beijing, which aims to compete with Ferrari. Now, another Chinese brand is hoping to have the fastest car in history.<\/p>\n

You may have never heard of this company. Dreame is actually known for its vacuums and other home appliances, though it has shared a few electric supercar concepts. The latest has some insane numbers: 0-62 miles per hour in 0.9 seconds. Yes, under 1 second. To achieve this record-breaking acceleration, the Dreame Nebula NEXT 01 Jet Edition will have “custom-built dual solid rocket boosters” that go beyond horsepower. Instead, the rocket boosters deliver 100 kilo-Newtons of force.<\/p>\n

Not much is known about this rocket-powered supercar. Dreame partnered with BNP Paribas to build a factory in Berlin for this thing, along with Dreame’s other over-the-top ideas. It’s apparently working on a Rolls-Royce Cullinan competitor. Right now, however, the company’s goal is to make the “world’s fastest car,” and it wants it to start production by 2027. Even wilder, this extremely (and impossibly) fast car will have high-resolution LiDAR tech for autonomous driving. Because that doesn’t sound dangerous.<\/p>\n

What is the purpose of a car going 0-60 in under 1 second?<\/h2>\n

Dreame has been working on this idea of the “world’s fastest car” for a while now. The rocket boosters were bolted on to a previous concept car, the Dreame Nebula 1. This 1,876-horsepower electric car was revealed at CES earlier this year. Yep, nearly 2,000 horsepower. For some reason.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how many times I’ll need to repeat myself, but what is the friggin’ point of this? Even before all these recent shenanigans, I lamented that 0-60 times don’t really matter anymore, because even your aunt’s electric SUV can beat your Corvette or Porsche at a green-light launch. The magic of this statistic has long gone<\/a>. Being quick is a given now, not a stand-out accomplishment from the most boundary-pushing supercars.<\/p>\n

But now it’s become even crazier than just “boring” and “expected.” Now we’re just taking it way too far. What is the purpose of a rocket-powered electric supercar that reaches 60 miles per hour in under one second?\u00a0Nobody<\/em> needs to do this, not even on a track. The specific purpose would be a drag race, I guess, but nobody wants to watch electric cars in a drag race. It’s lame. So what’s the point? I guess it’s just to break a record. A record that doesn’t matter.<\/p>\n

Not only is there no reason to accelerate this fast, but I’m not even sure cars can. Even ones with rockets.\u00a0Electrek<\/strong> brought up a good point: What tires can even handle this amount of acceleration? There is no tire in the world with this kind of grip. Current electric supercars are traction-limited to ensure tires can handle the output. To get around this issue, Dreame attached the rocket boosters. This could increase traction by planting the car to the ground through the created air pressure. But I’m still very skeptical. It seems extremely dangerous and unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Also, where would you even get rocket fuel if you need to refill the rocket boosters? Where is that even sold? A quick Google search and I couldn’t find any. Would you eventually have to buy new rocket boosters? I’m not sure where you’d get those either. That could also be pretty expensive. And I thought Elon Musk’s stupid Tesla Roadster<\/a> with SpaceX-inspired cold air thrusters was stupid. At least that one can be refilled.<\/p>\n

Another funny issue with the Dreame Nebula NEXT 01 Jet Edition is that it defeats the purpose of an electric car. You’re not saving the planet with rocket boosters. I guess, again, this is not about anything other than breaking a speed record. Because it most definitely has no purpose, convenience, or practicality. This is just a car that would be featured in Top Gear and then put into a museum.<\/p>\n

I’ll give China this much: when it says it’s going to do something, it does. And fast<\/em>. The Dream Nebula NEXT 01 Jet Edition will probably come out before the next-generation Roadster. And the autonomous technology will probably be better than anything Tesla has to offer. But does anyone want to be inside an autonomous rocket-powered car? That’s the real issue here. There is no price just yet, but I don’t think it matters. This is one Chinese vehicle that Americans aren’t jealous of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
