The Fisker Atlantic
extended-range plug-in vehicle will start production about a year after
its previously estimated mid-2013 date, Inside EVs blog reports, citing
leaked company documents that were dated "a few weeks ago."
The Atlantic, formerly known as Project Nina, will compete pricewise against the BMW 3 and 5 Series sedans as well as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E-Class, Jaguar XF and Audi A4 and A6.
That would put the model in the $50,000 to $60,000 range, according to
the publication. The model, which will still be produced at Fisker's
Delaware plant, will have 300 horsepower, a 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds and
emissions of 50 grams per kilometer of CO2, Inside EVs said, citing the
documents.
"As these documents are obviously leaked investor documents and highly
confidential, I am not prepared to comment any further," a Fisker
representative told AutoblogGreen.
The status of the Atlantic has been in question since plans for the former General Motors
plant in Delaware were put on hold once the U.S. Department of Energy
froze most of the $529 million in loans earmarked for the
California-based company.
Fisker unveiled the Atlantic at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that the car's price tag would be "a much lower price point" than Fisker's Karma sedan.
