The Force will be strong with Fisker in Detroit

Henrik Fisker is going to the Detroit Auto Show to show off two new cars, one of them a two-seat American "super sports car" called The Force 1. We know The Force 1 will have a Fisker-designed carbon fiber body laid over a front-engined American production car, is said to be a daily driver with the precision of a track car and the comfort of a luxury sports car, is priced near $300,000, and no more than 50 units will be produced starting next year. However, Fisker isn't divulging much more than that, including what the donor car is.The sketch shows off a number of Fisker cues like a long nose and short tail, wide body and even wider wheel arches, and large wheels - The Force 1 gets 21-inchers. "Laser blade" taillights will warn those behind, we imagine the sound of an engine said to have among the world's highest naturally aspirated outputs will give everyone else the signal to stay back. Power goes to the rear wheels only, with either a six-speed manual or an automatic with paddle shifters. The coupe is fitted with an active suspension developed by an American race car driver, Fisker saying that the unnamed driver uses the suspension on his race car.Our first guess for a two-seat donor car with an engine sturdy enough for such a tune would have been a Chevrolet Corvette, but the six-speed manual would mean Fisker scrapped the Corvette's standard seven-speed manual. The press conference revealing all secrets will happen on January 12. The release below can tide you over until then.Related Video: HENRIK FISKER DEBUTS NEW AMERICAN SUPER CAR "THE FORCE 1"AT THE 2016 NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW ON JANUARY 12December 10, 2015 - Henrik Fisker, the founder of Henrick Fisker Design, will be taking the wraps off a new sports car, The Force 1, at a press conference at the 2016 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) on the main show floor on January 12, at 10:05 a.m.This high-performance automobile is an American take on a super sports car featuring powerful, dramatic sculptural exterior styling, Ultra Thin Ventilated (UTV) laser blade tail lamps and a luxurious contemporary interior for two people.

Fisker bankruptcy auction scheduled for February 12

Will the long, twisted tale of Fisker Automotive and it bankruptcy assets finally end on February 12? It might, because that's the date a bankruptcy court has now set for an auction to let the bidders decide who will take home the plug-in automaker's goods. The auction will be held at the law offices of Kirkland & Ellis in New York, according to a new report in Reuters. As we know, China's Wanxiang Group and Hybrid Tech Holdings are the two companies who are most vocal in their desire for Fisker. After an initial bid of around $25 million, Hybrid Tech is now ready to start the bidding on the 12th at $55 million and basically called itself Fisker's best friend during this troubling time in a recent statement. The controllers of the Fisker assets say they prefer Hybrid Tech's bid to Wanxiang's. Fisker stopped making the plug-in hybrid Karma in late 2012 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Fisker's assets were supposed to be sold to Hybrid Tech Holdings in early January, but a last-minute stalking horse bid by Wanxiang set in motion the series of events that will lead to the auction next month.

Henrik Fisker again teases new EV crossover — and maybe a pickup

Henrik Fisker, founder of the eponymous luxury EV company, is looking to make a grand comeback with some new models alongside his EMotion EV. The renowned automotive designer and entrepreneur has been teasing two new models on his Twitter feed while divulging some quick details about some additional new cars. On Thursday he tweeted about his new all-electric crossover from Fisker Automotive. He's been talking about this crossover, at "close" to a $40,000 price point, since spring, and just a few days ago he tweeted about its "enhanced +80 KWh lithium-ion battery pack" and 300-mile range. The latest tweet is accompanied by an overhead picture of the crossover, showing a photovoltaic solar panel built into its roof, a design once pioneered by the Fisker Karma from several years ago.   This content is hosted by a third party.

The look is Ford F-150-esque, and with Tesla rumored to be working on a new EV pickup along with rivals such as Rivian and Workhorse, Fisker’s proposal doesnÂ’t seem too far-fetched. Though the rear view could also be of a more rugged SUV, also potentially aimed as a direct competitor to RivianÂ’s offerings. Fisker is reviving Fisker Automotive after it went bust back in 2013 and a Chinese parts conglomerate, Wanxiang, purchased the manufacturing, design and rights to make the Karma. Wanxiang rebranded as Karma Automotive, and Fisker took the sale money to start anew. News Source: Twitter Auto News Green Green Fisker SUV Electric
