These rocket boosters are said to produce 100 kN of thrust at a moment’s notice –
The Nebula NEXT 01 JET Edition, as it’s called, is the out-of-its-mind sibling to the Next 01 EV that boasted 1,900 hp, which was first shown off at this year’s CES trade show. If the claimed acceleration is proven, it’ll be quicker off the line than the Rimac Nevera, the Aspark Owl Roadster, the McMurtry Spéirling Pure, and pretty much anything else you can legally purchase.
As if that much power wasn’t enough, this hypercar that the company has been showing off at a Dreame launch event in San Francisco this week, is said to feature a dual solid-fuel rocket booster system that generates a peak thrust of 100 kN and responds to your flooring of the throttle in just 150 milliseconds.
The company says it’s been developing the tech that goes into the JET Edition over the last decade. That includes the intelligent chassis architecture, an electromagnetic active suspension setup, ultra-high-def LiDAR to detect potholes and pedestrians, and L3+ capabilities that should allow for fully autonomous driving.
That’s all kinds of unbelievable – and the outrageous promo video above doesn’t help matters much.
For what it’s worth, Dreame managed to rope in Sebastian Thrun – who co-founded Google’s X division that develops moonshot projects, as well as the company’s self-driving car team back in the day – to kick things off at the event.
I still doubt this will make it to production with a rear end that vaguely resembles a spacecraft. In any case, Dreame says it’s keen on bringing the Next 01 (the non-jet edition) to life.
That’s a four-door electric hyper-sedan expected to do 0-60 mph in 1.8 seconds; it’s slated to arrive in the second half of 2027. That’ll be …[for a chance to see the Dreame Machine in action please visit: https://newatlas.com/automotive/dreame-rocket-boosted-ev-acceleration/]
