Home appliances giant Dreame has scrapped itsrocket-powered supercar, which we suspected was 'too fast and too wide-reaching'
Dreame has cancelled its plans to make a rocket-propelled hypercar
Dreame, a company known primarily for its robot vacuum cleaners and hair styling products, had plans to expand into making vehicles, including a hypercar and a rocket-powered supercar. However, it appears that these ambitious projects have been abandoned. The hypercar, which was supposed to reach 62mph in just 0.9 seconds due to custom-built dual solid rocket boosters, never made it past the prototype stage.
Internal sources reported that the car project was more of a marketing and fundraising effort, similar to Tesla's Elon Musk's Roadster, but without the actual manufacturing process. The vehicle department seemed disorganized and may have faced regulatory issues. While a tech firm pivoting into the car business isn't entirely implausible, given Xiaomi's automotive ventures, several attempts by gadget companies have ended in failure, such as Apple Car, PlayStation Car, and Dyson Car.
