Fisker Atlantic EVer unveiled in Big apple, we go eyes-on

Fisker's Karma series-hybrid electric vehicle hasn't exactly been receiving various great press lately, however the company didn't let the method of swapping out 640 battery packs dampen the launch of that car's smaller sibling, the Atlantic. This long-expected (and recently spied) auto is a shortened, slightly smaller car it is said to be priced at a "much discount point" than its predecessor. But, just like the bigger Karma (and the even larger Surf), there's an on-board motor that burns gas to generate more electricity to increase that range -- but sadly nobody's saying by how far.

In this example it is a four-cylinder BMW-sourced engine providing that extra range, exhaust peeking out just behind front-left wheel. A four-banger doesn't sound all that spectacular in a car like this, but remember it is only tasked with spinning a generator. Moving the sedan (and its healthy complement of batteries) could be an undisclosed electric powertrain. Sadly no details are being given tonight for performance or cost, but we're told it'll set you back about up to an Audi A5. Could that mean a $40,000 starting price- That'd be lower than half the price of the $102,000 Karma, and potentially quite a revolution. Remember that we won't wait to determine.

We weren't in a position to peek within the trunk, but we're told the hot engine provides more room to your junk than the Karma's current arrangement. The automobile is alleged to check the A5 with regards to cargo space, that's certainly nothing to sneeze about. Now mind, this is often only a concept and things are susceptible to change at the long road from here to production, but Fisker isn't known for tweaking much along the manner. Suffice to claim, this could be very just about the automobile that hits dealerships... eventually.
