Fisker feels it’s far enough along in the automaking process and has enough product in the near-term pipeline to hold an investor day. That will come on August 3. Whetting appetites, the CEO teased the Ronin GT that’s been in the works for years. We believe this is an evolution of the Fisker EMotion that Fisker talked about in 2018, then a coupe with novel butterfly rear doors, a 400-mile estimated range, and a price around $129,000. What we’re seeing now has come out of the Magic Works outpost set up in England and run by Aston Martin’s former head of special projects David King. Henrik’s caption with the Instagram tease was, “Fisker Ronin, All Electric super GT! Reveal August 3rd! Super fast & space for 5! The ultimate long distance Grand Touring car with an anticipated range of 600 miles!”
Fyi, that’s 600 miles of range on the WLTP cycle. Plenty of distance still, although it’s a small climb down from the targeted 660 miles of range we heard about in May 2022.
Fisker only calls this an electric grand tourer in the Insta post. On the Fisker site, the car is called “the world’s first all-electric, four-door convertible, GT Sports Car.” There’s a shut line across the roof, placed where the absent B-pillar would otherwise make itself known. Another shutline separates the center panel from the C-pillar, just where one would expect a three-piece hardtop to separate so that it can fold into the trunk. Assuming this comes to pass, the Ronin will be the first and last entry in the four-door convertible GT market in the U.S., and the only genuine hardtop convertible on sale here (as opposed to the targa setups on cars like the Chevrolet Corvette and McLaren 750S).
In terms of specifications, all that’s been announced is that the Ronin will offer “extremely high levels of performance” and serve as “a showcase for [Fisker’s] internal engineering, powertrain and software capabilities.” The vehicle battery’s been integrated into the structure, and active aero is going to play a part. The company’s promised to keep the price below $200,000.
Investor Day will also show the production Fisker Pear city vehicle, and we hear the Alaska pickup, based on the Ocean, might make a cameo. Fiskerati reports Fisker having said of the pickup, “that’s really our take on a very unique super sporty pickup truck. I think that’s a real hot market.” He added, “It’s going to, I think, handle amazingly for a pickup truck, both on-road and off-road. So very excited to show that vehicle that will definitely be radically different than anything else we have seen in the market so far.”
