A Chinese vacuum and home appliance company called Dreame has unveiled a wild electric supercar concept that it claims can do zero to 62 miles per hour in just 0.9 seconds, which would break every existing acceleration record. The catch: the only way to get there is with rocket power. The Dreame Nebula NEXT 01 Jet Edition uses twin solid rocket boosters capable of producing 100 kilonewtons of thrust, bypassing the grip limits of tires entirely.
The current world record for EV acceleration, 0.956 seconds, was set by a 300-pound student-built car with no roof. Dreame says it wants to have this car in production by 2027 and has partnered with a French bank to build a factory near Berlin. Some skeptics note that solid rocket boosters can’t be turned off mid-burn and have to be replaced after each use, which is a fairly significant drawback in a daily driver.
