Sweetness.

is it in your garage?

I wonder if it was this one seen heading South on 95 between Baltimore and DC.

I wish it was haha... but no.

not sure... I should also clarify that it may not have been the first one delivered, but it was the first one off the assembly line.

Looks amazing. To be honest I never heard of Fisker before.


Clow

and me either. Looks very expensive..

it's an electric sports car, fast w/ extended range

A friend of mine was on the waiting list for one of these - paid his deposit over a year ago, etc. He recently cancelled the order because the price kept climbing during production...... $25K more than they initially quoted him.....

Too bad.... still a nice car.

He decided to cancel when he saw what deals could be had for a 4-door Maserati of similar size, a couple years old. - $41K!!!!!!!

Ahhhh!... t have those decisions to make! - LOL!

Saw one at CnC two weeks ago. Controversial conversation starter...

Starts at $95K....$110K for all the options.

2 electric motors with a gasoline engine driving a generator to power the motors.

it is supposed to be the competitor to TESLA and the Model S

agreed, but like I said, not necessarily the first one delivered, but the first one off the production line. And, to be honest, I did not speak with the owner directly. But from what I understood, the owner knew the guy who headed up the Karma project and got first dibs on it a while back.

I will find out some more info to back up my claims.

Leo's D's car?

Meet the Karma

Leonardo DiCaprio get a new toy

hmmm, looks I might have been fed some false info... I will have to get to the bottom of this... meanwhile, title changed.

Saw one the other day as there is a Fisker Dealership a couple of miles away from my house.

I think it is odd that the Dealership sold it's Aston Martin Franchise to take on Fisker. The Fisker is neat, but the Demand for an A-M has to be much greater.

There was one at the Great Falls CnC in Northern Virginia about a month ago. It drew a larger crowd than any other car there, over some amazing exotics and classics.

Stunning in person.

However, if it were my money, I'd be on the waitlist for a Tesla Model S instead. Lower price, greater electric range, more practical, and equally sporty (still great looking too).

The Huntsville Porsche/ BMW/ Jag dealership has put a Fisker sign up. They have at least one in the showroom, and it has been there since our PCA Christmas party at the dealers (they do put up a nice spread- and some great door prizes too) on the 4th of December.

We'll probably see a bunch around here since they are being made in the old Saturn plant in Newport, DE. Just like we used to see a ton of Plymouth Prowlers and Dodge Durangos with the old Chrysler plant in Newark, DE.

If it was my money it wouldn't be an EV.
IMHO EV's aren't there yet, they are not green as manufacturing the batteries and magnets probably cause more pollution than the lifetime emissions of a SUV, then you have to produce electricity to charge it.
All it does is shift the footprint.

But that's my opinion, I don't have that kind of coin and this could get political so that's all I'm going to say about it.

I don't disagree about EVs needing some more development, but just as any car purchase, I wouldn't be buying one based on some analysis of factory-to-grave environmental impact. I'd be buying it as a practical (never stop for gas), fun-to-drive (100% instant torque), unique, beautiful, otherwise advantageous (free access to HOV lanes here in VA) car.

But alas, I'm not sitting on that kind of scratch either.

FWIW, top-of-the-line Tesla Model S is supposed to have 300-mile range; that's as much as I'd need to drive in a single day 99.999% of the time (and I can rent a car for the 0.001%). Also worth noting, the Fisker has a gasoline "range-extender" like a Chevy Volt, so practically unlimited range, but only about 32 mi electric-only.

Damn thats sexy lookin!!

AM I the only person that thinks the front end is hideous ? The company I have been doing the paint samples for is also doing the displays for the Fiskar dealerships so I've gotten to see pics of this thing for a while now, and I still can't get over that front end Looks like a Pontiac Solstice on 'roids.

Same factory that the solstice was made (i'm sure you knew that). Maybe they're using up old stock?

I'll admit, I used to like the solstice hardtop - until my wife's 4' 10" friend showed up in one.

That might change pretty soon ...

Is this the company that took green jobs money then instead of producing green jobs for US citizens expanded their factory in Finland?

The front end looks like poop!

Funny because that was exactly my thought from that first picture. From further away, I think it looks pretty good.
