The Fisker four-door premium ‘Eco-Chic’, plug-in hybrid sports sedan will be offered with gas or diesel engines and offers as many as 620 miles between refuelings. The plug-in charge is good for the first 50 miles and the hybrid drive can squeeze up to 100 miles per gallon out of fossil fuels. The car has a battery pack at the center to deliver improved driving dynamics, better balance, maximum safety, and ‘some’ good looks.
Is it possible that Fisker beats both Toyota and GM to market with a production plug-in electric car available for sale? If the press release is correct and the production car debuts in January of next year, it seems that they might. No matter, this is great news for those who can afford to spend six-digit sums on an automobile. Prices start at $80,000 and deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2009.
