With the Fisker Karma being so popular, will the Ronin also sell out?
Fisker Inc., driven by a mission to create the world’s most emotional and sustainable electric vehicles, released details on its Fisker Ronin Super GT, a new all-electric convertible that was showcased at the company’s first-ever Product Vision Day on 3 August 2023.
Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker said, “The Fisker Ronin is for people who love to drive, but who are also thrilled by automotive art and design and demand that their high-performance vehicles embrace a sustainable future.”
“Our goal was to create a classic grand touring car, updated for the 21st century and engineered for customers who want to drive from Los Angeles to Napa Valley on a single charge or take on the autobahn at steady high speeds without concern for battery capacity.” He added.
Moreover, Fisker also opened reservations for the Ronin, an homage to the famous John Frankenheimer film of the same name, which features epic car chase scenes, on 3 August 2023 and early customers could place a deposit of USD2,000 (RM9,209) for the first reservation and a fully refundable USD1,000 (RM4,605) for the second.
The Fisker Ronin is set to cost USD385,000 (about RM1,772,733), with deliveries targeted to start in the second half of 2025. Fisker will produce just 999 units of this vehicle and the brand’s objective with car is to bring an exceptional sedan to the high end market, where other big-name performance manufacturers have introduced SUVs.
Responding to this trend, Fisker designed the Ronin to accommodate five people while taking advantage of an electric vehicle (EV) layout to provide exceptional cargo capacity, a true rarity in the supercar world.
On top of that, with a projected 0-100km/h time of approximately two seconds and a 275km/h top speed, the Fisker Ronin will be able to match up with or surpass any supercar currently on the market while also delivering tremendous range. The car will also reportedly focus on driver enjoyment rather than autonomous technologies.
The Fisker Ronin will also feature rear butterfly doors for easy rear-seat access. Only a single door handle will be required, as the front doors open electrically by swiping the handle or by using a smartphone. All doors can also be opened remotely by a smartphone, and the foldable, carbon-fiber hardtop will also be smartphone activated.
The Fisker Ronin will also feature a unique aluminum space frame with integrated battery cells to achieve its targeted 600-mile (about 966km) range. The interior will set new standards for sustainable luxury and will use innovative recycled and sustainable materials, making the Ronin the world’s most sustainable supercar.
The Fisker Ronin will also have a 17.1-inch high-resolution screen and an instrument cluster positioned in front of the driver along with lightweight 23-inch carbon fiber wheels. Naturally being an EV, storage space is available both in front and the back.
