Dear Future
Fisker Owner

We are pleased to announce that pilot production has started at Fisker and we will present our first
factory built production Karma at the
Paris Motor Show
in October.

This month we are also excited to share insight into yet
another driving force
in the design of
your Fisker Karma.
Our passion for accountable, eco-minded luxury
drove us to design
a breathtaking hybrid that not only delivers superior comforts but demonstrates control and handling with recognizable power.






At the heart of the Fisker Karma is the
Q-DRIVE powertrain, developed by Quantum Technologies exclusively for
Fisker Automotive.
The Karma's unique
Q-DRIVE configuration pairs a turbocharged Eco-tec engine with a generator and a Lithium-ion battery pack to deliver superior performance and efficiency.

The Q-DRIVE powertrain enables two incredible driving modes designed specifically for your exact performance needs in the moment.
All-Electric Stealth

 

Mode enables you
to drive in style
and comfort with sustainable electric energy. Lithium-ion power drives dual eletric motors for acceleration at 0-60
in 7.9 seconds and a
top speed of 95 mph.

Performance Hybrid Sport Mode harnesses both energy sources for added power and control. With 403 HP, acceleration of 0-60
in 5.9 seconds and a
top speed of 125 mph, Sport Mode
delivers fully
charged performance and exhilaration.

Underpinning the overall form is the




lightweight aluminum spaceframe - the foundation of the Karma's sporty low, wide stance. The extruded aluminum spaceframe and tight sport-tuned suspension contain
the Karma for optimized control and firm handling at high speeds. The Karma's striking proportions measure over 196.7 inches long, 52.4 inches high, and 78.1 inches wide,
delivering aerodynamic dimensions for uninhibited driving
alive with passion. For added maneuverability, hydraulically power-assisted and rack and pinion tuned steering

deliver optimum
control for added driver precision. Load-leveling rear shocks and mono-tube absorbers are tuned
to control the level of roll dampening so the Karma achieves flat cornering with little body roll. The thrill of hard, fast travel shines with custom Fisker designed 22 inch wheels, designed for road gripping high performance driving.

The Karma's innovative transmission further complements the uninhibited thrills
of pure driving. The single speed gear box delivers the power of

instantaneous acceleration without ever using a clutch.
You feel the Karma's dramatic power delivered in a fluid, immediate speed boost without the interruption of gears. No wait.
No inhibitions. No compromises. That's Pure Driving Passion.

We'll keep you informed about upcoming news
and reveal more breathtaking features in the messages to come.

Thanks again and be in touch with you soon.

Henrik Fisker

FISKER AUTOMOTIVE TAKES POSESSION OF FORMER GM FACTORY TO BUILD PLUG-IN HYBRIDS



FISKER AUTOMOTIVE TAKES POSESSION OF FORMER GM FACTORY TO BUILD PLUG-IN HYBRIDS

 

 

IRVINE, CA - July 19, 2010: American automaker Fisker Automotive today finalized its purchase of a former GM factory where it will build plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

 

The southern California-based company is now in full possession of the 3.2 million square foot Wilmington Assembly plant in Wilmington, Delaware, for which it paid Motors Liquidation Company (MLC) $20 million. MLC is the holding company formed by General Motors Corporation's bankruptcy.

 

The purchase is supported by a $528.7 million Department of Energy loan for the development of two lines of plug-in hybrids.

 

The Wilmington plant will be home to Project NINA, Fisker's second line of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and where Fisker expects to ultimately create more than 2,000 factory jobs.

 

"This is a major step toward creating thousands of manufacturing jobs and restoring America as a leader in the global auto industry," said Bernhard Koehler, COO, Fisker Automotive.  "Wilmington will be instrumental in fulfilling our plans to export more than half of Fisker premium plug-in hybrid production to global markets."

 

Fisker announced its intent to acquire the idled factory in October 2009.  A federal bankruptcy judge approved the sale last month.

 

The Wilmington Assembly plant opened in 1947 and produced more than 8.5 million vehicles before closing in mid 2009.
