Avto bo "plug-in" hibrid, torej se ga bo dalo napolnit preko vtičnice, imel bo (po želji) bencinski ali dizelski motor, le-ta bo poganjal samo generator, ki bo polnil akumulator in ne poganjal koles - pogon bo izključno preko elektromotorjev (zaporedni hibrid). Avtonomija - samo na elektriko 80 km, s polnjenjem z notranjim motorjem 1000 km (!).
Avto bo predstavljen na Detroitskem showu januarja 2008, do kupcev bo začel prihajati konec 2009. Stal bo malo manj kot 100 000 $ (manj kot primerljivi Lexusi!), računajo na proizvodnjo 15000 avtov letno. Optimistično in pohvalno!
Še precej bolj pohvalna je oblika, za to je bil Fisker vedno mojster! Fascinantno usklajen splet najlepših elementov - večinoma njegovih!

2008 Detroit Show: Fisker Hybrid Teaser Image
Here’s the first official image of Fisker’s Hybrid sports sedan that will be introduced at the forthcoming North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in January 2008 with sales commencing towards the end of 2008 - early 2009. Though the teaser image is too small to for us to make any serious assumptions, it does look like someone forged the front end of a Corvette to the body of a Jaguar XF.
The yet to be named hybrid sports sedan will be jointly produced by Fisker Coachbuilder and Quantum Technologies, a Southern Californian company that focuse on clean propulsion technologies. According to Fiker’s plans, initial production of the unnamed hybdrid vehicle is anticipated to be 15,000 vehicles a year with pricing to start at under $100,000 (€70,000). -Continued after the jump

“The troubled environment is captivating the attention of the world. Developing a premium luxury green car which also delivers attractive design can make a difference. We are extremely excited to join our automotive design expertise with the plug-in hybrid technology of Quantum in Quantum Drive. This breakthrough chassis development will allow us to deliver a design with dramatic proportions – one which will carry the Fisker badge,” expressed Henrik Fisker, CEO of Fisker Automotive, Inc. “We want people to drive beautiful fast cars that make environmental sense – cars that are eco-chic and will have less of an impact on global warming.”
Quantum Technologies has a long history of advancing technology. Benefits in developing an entirely new, from-the-ground-up design for a plug-in hybrid vehicle include optimized fuel efficiency and performance, unchanged gas station infrastructure, home based battery recharging with any 110-volt outlet at a fraction of the cost. A cleaner and a quieter car for local travel… all with the most advanced comforts that are anticipated with a luxury car.
“Our goal here is to deliver the advancement that Quantum Technologies has made in the area of plug-in hybrid technology. By combining our efforts with the renowned design talent of Henrik Fisker, we can produce a car that makes a difference to the environment – without sacrificing the luxury that accompanies the finest automobiles,” stated Alan Niedzwiecki, CEO Quantum Technologies.
AutoCar je napisal/-a:This front three-quarter static shot is the first chance we’ve had to see the front end of the car and particularly the wide grille, which references the ‘face’ of the Merc SL-based Tramonto convertible and BMW 6-series Latigo coupe that Fisker first showed at the Frankfurt motor show in 2005.
The rest of the car appears to borrow cues from the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide, but it deploys them to harmonious effect – just as you’d expect from the man responsible for the BMW Z8 and Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
There’s good news for the project on the technical side, too: ex-BMW engineer Thomas Fritz has been appointed as Fisker Automotive’s Director of Engineering. Fritz brings 19 years of experience to the Fisker team, having had a hand in the development of the current Range Rover, Rolls Royce Phantom and BMW Z8. His appointment will be a huge aid in meeting Fisker’s goal of bringing these 100mpg hybrid cars to market by 2009.
