Fisker Karma S concept

Fisker Automotive revealed the newest addition to its lineup at NAIAS 2009, exactly a year after the independent carmaker unveiled its first concept vehicle, the Karma.

Called the Karma S concept, the four-seat convertible was designed by Henrik Fisker with input from a newly assembled design team taken on to help bring the Karma sedan to production.

The design of the S is likely to make it to the showroom almost unchanged.

Fisker plug-in hybrid sport sedan

Fisker Automotive is poised to become the first 'green' American premium car company when it launches its four-door plug-in hybrid sports sedan at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

As the first production vehicle to come from the newly formed company - a joint venture between Quantum Technologies and Fisker Coachbuild - the car will feature an all-new platform and a chassis that enables the battery pack to be placed between the two axles at the center of the vehicle. This positioning provides not only optimal driving dynamics and safety, but proportionate design as well, leading to a sleek design that accentuates the long hood.

Performance figures for the first car have it achieving 50 miles on electric power alone, while a gasoline or diesel engine extends the range to more than 620 miles. It has also been claimed to deliver 100mpg. Initial deliveries of the car will commence in late 2009 with annual production projected to reach 15,000 cars, each with a starting price of $80,000.

Fisker Latigo CS

Southern California-based coachbuilder Henrik Fisker has created the Latigo CS, based on a BMW M6 platform. Additions to the new car are entirely hand built, featuring extensive use of aluminum, stainless steel, carbon fiber and magnesium alloy.

The car's dimensions have been shortened both front and rear and the C-pillars have been redesigned. A sculptured 'power dome' highlights the hood while slimmer head lamps tie together the front graphic and Fisker's distinctive, black powder-coated or anodized aluminum grille. A 3-dimensional milled aluminum and hand painted badge, side indicators (set in a chromed aluminum bezel), carbon fiber rear diffuser and twin stainless steel round exhausts are all bespoke elements; as are the integrated rear bumper and the lightweight 10-spoke, 3-piece 20-inch wheels.

Inside, the coachbuild craftsmanship continues with hand-stitched leather on the seats, headliner and three-spoke steering wheel. The gear shift knob incorporates an aluminum Fisker logo, while the polished carbon fiber sill panels are adorned with aluminum sill plaques bearing the company's name.

Only 150 Latigo CS models will be built worldwide, in a combination of coupes and convertibles.
