Dreame figured out a surefire way to make sure its new EV stands out.

The Chinese technology company, which, up until now, has been best known for its vacuums, just unveiled a battery-powered hypercar called the Nebula Next 01 Jet Edition. So, what makes the company’s the EV so special? Well, a custom-built dual solid-fuel rocket booster system might do the trick.

Dreame says the Nebula Next 01 Jet Edition will feature a rocket engine or two. That is about all we know about the vehicle’s powertrain at this point, though the company did say the setup “responds in 150 milliseconds” and produces a “peak thrust of 100 kilonewtons.” That last figure, Road & Track points out, is a little less than half the 223 kiloneutons of force generated by the current land speed record holder, the ThrustSSC. Thanks to all that grunt, Dreame says its EV will be able to rocket from zero to 60 mph in just 0.9 seconds. The world’s current fastest accelerating production vehicle is the $1.4 million McMurtry Spéirling, which can go from a stop to 60 mph in 1.4 seconds.

A video posted to YouTube by Dreame also featured some interesting tidbits about the car. The clip, which appears to be A.I. generated, mentions the EV will feature an air suspension, steer-by-wire steering, and a LiDar system the company claims will allow for unmanned, autonomous operation.

It remains to be seen if Dreame will be able to deliver on its big promises. The company has not said when the Nebula Next 01 Jet Edition is slated to go into production or how much it will cost if it does make it to market. Dreame did unveil the EV in San Francisco, though, which suggests the company is at least eyeing the possibility of bringing it to the U.S.

It should be noted Dreame is not the first company to come up with the idea of strapping a rocket engine to an EV. Back in 2024, Elon Musk said the second-generation Tesla Roadster would utilize SpaceX tech to do some “rocket-y stuff,” hinting that the ability for the vehicle to fly was “not out of the question.” Of course, after having been delayed repeatedly since it was first announced in 2017, including as recently as last month, that vehicle, like the Nebula Next 01 Jet Edition, remains entirely theoretical.
