Fisker Rōnin Super GT: Eco-Conscious Luxury with High Performance
Fisker Inc. has unveiled the intricate masterpiece that is the Fisker Rōnin Super GT in the relentless pursuit of a greener, more captivating future on wheels. This symphony of electricity and elegance made its dazzling debut during the company's inaugural Product Vision Day on the bewitching August 3, 2023.
Henrik Fisker, the visionary Chairman and CEO, breathed life into the Rōnin's essence with his words, stating, "The Fisker Rōnin beckons to the motoring connoisseurs who hold in their hearts a profound reverence for the artistry and craftsmanship of automotive design. They crave performance machines that harmonise with the promise of a sustainable tomorrow." His voice resonated with conviction as he added, "Our ambition soared higher than the heavens; we set out to reinvent a timeless grand tourer, reborn for the 21st century, meticulously engineered to serve those who dream of gliding from the luminous streets of Los Angeles to the vineyard-clad haven of Napa Valley on a solitary charge or conquering the autobahn with unbridled speed, unshackled by the shackles of battery constraints."
As of that ethereal August 3, Fisker unfurled the velvet ropes, inviting patrons to reserve their place in history with the Rōnin, christened after the legendary film by John Frankenheimer, known for its epic duels on wheels. Early adventurers could secure their coveted spot with a down payment of $2,000 for the primary reservation, with an enchanting promise of a fully reimbursable $1,000 for the secondary. The anticipated price tag for this automotive marvel stands at $385,000, with the curtain set to rise on deliveries in the latter half of 2025. A symphony limited to 999 units, the Fisker Rōnin is destined to be a whisper in the wind, an exclusive enigma.
In a world where eminent high-performance manufacturers have succumbed to the allure of SUVs, Fisker dares to dream, crafting the Rōnin as a testament to practicality in the stratosphere of automotive luxury. This beguiling electric masterpiece beckons to five souls, leveraging the structural genius of its electric lineage to offer an unexpected treasure trove of cargo space—a true rarity in the realm of supercars. Its balletic 0-60mph sprint in the blink of an eye, coupled with a siren's call of a top speed, reaching 170mph (275km/h), positions the Rōnin as a titan, a true contender amongst the supercar elite. Yet, it wears its range like a badge of honour, promising to carry you to the horizon and beyond. In this exhilarating dance, the Rōnin prioritises the art of driving, weaving through the cacophony of autonomous distractions, though the option remains an elusive encore.
Unlocking the portal to the rear chamber, the Rōnin unveils its secret with rear butterfly doors. A single touch is your key to revelation, as the front doors unfurl with a flourish at the slightest caress or smartphone command. Then, like a delicate waltz, the handle extends, granting passage to the enchanting realm of the rear doors. All entrances, a choreography of access, are orchestrated remotely through the magic of your smartphone. And when the mood strikes to shed the burdens of the rooftop, a tap on your device beckons the foldable carbon-fibre canopy to retreat gracefully, preserving space for your treasured cargo. For the wanderer's heart, additional storage hides within the front sanctuary.
The bones of the Fisker Rōnin bear the mark of distinction, with an aluminium space frame cradling its batteries' lifeblood, whispering promises of a 600-mile journey. Each component, as light as a feather, like the carbon-fibre carbon-fibre 23-inch wheels, conspires to elevate the performance to sublime heights. Within this sanctuary, luxury assumes a new form, born from recycled dreams and eco-friendly aspirations, painting the Rōnin as the zenith of sustainable luxury. A canvas of possibilities unfolds with a 17.1-inch high-resolution display and an instrument cluster that bows gracefully before the conductor of this symphony on wheels.
