At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, one of the most unexpected stands was not that of a traditional car manufacturer… but that of a Chinese manufacturer of hoovers and household robots: Dreame Technology. The group, known for its top-of-the-range household appliances, unveiled the Dreame Nebula Next 01, an ultra-vitamined electric concept car that is already causing a stir.
A chaotic start and designer revenge
The Next 01 adventure began in 2025, when Dreame announced its intention to create « the fastest car in the world ». At first, some people thought it was a PR stunt or a joke. But car enthusiasts were not at all convinced. Indeed, the first concept drawings circulating online bore an uncanny resemblance to a revisited Bugatti Chiron, leading to the brand being mocked and accused of shamelessly copying the iconic Molsheim design.
This bad patch is now a thing of the past. On the stand at CES 2026, Dreame showed a vehicle with a more assertive and original style: ultra-low lines, tapered headlamps, a metallic green body enhanced by large carbon fibre surfaces, a fixed rear spoiler and a double-stage rear diffuser, giving it the aggressive look of a true hypercar.
A specification sheet that turns heads
Although the Nebula Next 01 remains a concept car, the data published by Dreame are already spectacular. Four individual electric motors are integrated to produce a combined power of up to 1,399 kW, or just under 1,900 horsepower. All this means that Dreame’s technological jewel can reach 100 km/h in just 1.8 lunar seconds.
For the moment, no official figures for maximum speed or range have been released, and the interior has not been revealed. Dreame repeats that this is a concept, but that the technology could serve as the basis for future models destined for the market as early as 2027. So we’ll have to be patient.
World-class performance
Although these figures are theoretical at this stage, they place the Nebula Next 01 squarely in the category of the most extreme electric hypercars:
- The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra boasts a 0-100 km/h time of just 1.98 seconds and a claimed power output of over 1,350 kW.
- The BYD Yangwang U9, already a Chinese electric legend, holds speed records and often exceeds 1,300 bhp. To date, the world speed benchmark remains the record set by the U9 of over 490 km/h on the racetrack.
- Today, the Rimac Nevera remains the absolute benchmark among production electric vehicles, with 1,914 bhp, a 0 to 100 km/h time of 1.81 seconds and a top speed of over 412 km/h, setting numerous official records and serving as a benchmark for the industry.
On paper, this puts Dreame ahead of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra and in the same league as the Yangwang U9 and Rimac Nevera.
Looking to Europe
Dreame’s ambitions don’t end with a spectacular appearance at CES. According to several specialist media, the brand has expressed its desire to target the European market, with plans for a factory in Europe, particularly in Germany, and significant investment to establish its Dreame Cars / Kosmera subsidiary on the Old Continent.
If these plans come to fruition, the Nebula Next 01 would not only be an impressive concept, but could become a symbol of the rise of Chinese technology in the ultra-premium segment, a sector long dominated by incumbent European manufacturers. It remains to be seen whether this paper performance will one day translate onto the road, but at CES 2026, the automotive world took note.
