You know Dreame, right? The Chinese tech outfit that makes vacuum cleaners capable of sucking up everything from bread crumbs to your will to live. Well, they’ve decided they’re bored of carpets and want to take on… Bugatti. Yes, that Bugatti. The Veyron one.

The plan? By 2027, Dreame says it’ll produce the fastest car in the world. Not the fastest vacuum, not the fastest robot mop—an actual car. And not just any car, but an all-electric hypercar designed to “redefine ultra-luxury.” Which, frankly, is a big ask from a company that hasn’t even bolted four wheels together yet.

But Dreame isn’t just plucking numbers out of thin air. Their vacuum motors already spin at a dizzying 200,000 rpm, and they think that whizzy tech can be re-engineered to make a hypercar scream down the Autobahn faster than a Chiron on double espressos. Big claims, especially when Bugatti themselves have moved on from the Veyron and into even scarier territory.

There’s also the irony. While Bugatti continues to cling proudly to fossil-fuel monstrosities, Dreame says their machine will be pure electric, packed with AI that learns your habits. Imagine a car that knows you prefer Taylor Swift on Mondays and heavy regen braking on Fridays. It’ll sync with your smartphone, your smart home, probably even your smart fridge if you let it.

And Dreame isn’t doing this half-heartedly. Nearly 1,000 people are already on the project, many poached from the car and tech worlds. This is more effort than Dyson managed, and Dyson actually tried building an EV before retreating back to hairdryers and hoovers in 2019.

Will Dreame actually build the world’s fastest car? History says: probably not. But if they do, they’ll have pulled off the strangest flex in automotive history — turning a vacuum cleaner brand into a hypercar badge. Just imagine the slogan: “Nothing sucks like a Dreame.”
