Fisker Emotion
Fisker has dropped the
first official details and images of its all-new electric sedan dubbed the
EMotion. Come up with an edgy design for its
first model, aided by a newly developed electric powertrain, which has allowed
the company to push the interior compartment forward, thus reducing front and
rear overhangs without compromising interior space.
The automaker also says
that the EMotion will be built around a frame made from carbon fiber and
aluminum, which, if true, would allow the sedan to shed huge amounts of weight,
something particularly important for notoriously heavy electric vehicles.
Fisker says the car's batteries will use lightweight graphene in
their construction and be built by a joint venture between Fisker and Nanotech
Energy Inc. The batteries will apparently be advanced enough to power the
EMotion for some 643 km and onto a 259 km/h top speed.
Last, Fisker asserts that the EMotion will utilize an advanced autonomous driving
system currently being developed by an unnamed supplier. A public debut for the
model has been tentatively set for the middle of next year. U.S. production is
also being promised.
