Fisker Pear breaks the rules to anchor four-model lineup Car News

The Fisker Ocean will soon lead a range of four Fisker models, all to be unveiled by 2025.

Designer and CEO Henrik Fisker plans to put one million Fisker-badged electric vehicles on the road by 2027 and will further grow the company to become a million-dollar-a-year automotive business beyond 2030.

Next to arrive in 2023 will be Fisker’s eventual biggest seller, the Pear (for Personal Electric Automotive Revolution). He said it’s a rule-breaking, already designed car that will be built at a former US GM plant in Ohio, once capable of making 500,000 cars a year.

Fisker’s partner on the Pear is giant Taiwanese technology group Foxconn, which will own the Pear factory and take over manufacturing while Fisker will retain design and engineering control, as it does with the Pear. ‘Ocean built by Magna.

Described by Henrik Fisker as “the kind of car Apple would make for a life in a megacity like London or Los Angeles”, the pear will have a base price of $29,900 (around £22,500) and be around 4500mm tall. long. But “it doesn’t look like an ocean or anything like that,” he said.

The partners aim to manufacture and sell the car in the United States, Europe, India and China and believe global volume could eventually reach one million units per year.

The third Fisker EV model, described as “a redefinition of a luxury sports car of the future”, is being developed at Fisker Magic Works, the recently announced UK engineering center led by the former project manager specials from Aston Martin, Dave King. Henrik Fisker said the spirit of the model is that of a “genuine British sports car”, although as it has neither a big front engine nor a large rear fuel tank, it lacks both the high hood line and relatively long tail of classic cars. GT.

The shape of Fisker’s fourth car is still being debated, although the designer seems unlikely to challenge the many luxury EV sedans he says are already flooding the market. “We have many options,” he said, “because there are so many EV segments that still don’t have entries. If you’re looking for a Porsche Boxster-like car, or a van, you have very few options. Either way, we don’t have to decide for a while.
