American electric vehicle and mobility company, Fisker, has announced its latest model, Project Ronin.
Due to begin production in the second half of 2024, Project Ronin will be Fisker's third vehicle. Its line-up so far consists of the Fisker Ocean SUV and the Fisker PEAR.
According to the company, the new model’s name was inspired by the film Ronin, which is famous for its car chases. The car is being designed to be a sports car that is equipped for long road trips, carrying four adults and their luggage.
CEO Henrik Fisker said: “The aim is to achieve the world's longest range for a production EV, combined with extremely high levels of performance.”
Reportedly Fisker is targeting a 660-mile range and sub-2 second 0-60mph sprint.
Engineers working on its design aim to use the most advanced, lightweight materials and focus on range, performance, and overall driving experience. Fisker says Project Ronin will feature active aerodynamic technologies and an innovative battery design, with the pack integrated into the structure of the vehicle.
“Project Ronin will be a showcase for our internal engineering, powertrain, and software capabilities,” said Henrik Fisker.
Among Project Ronin’s many forward-thinking characteristics, Fisker says the car will boast special doors designed for optimum ingress and egress, as well as a luxurious, vegan interior.
The vehicle is expected to be revealed in August 2023 and begin production in the second half of 2024.
