LOS ANGELES: Fisker Inc. has released additional details on its Ronin Super GT, an all-electric convertible that was showcased at the company’s first-ever Product Vision Day on Aug 3.
Fisker opened reservations for Ronin – an homage to the famous John Frankenheimer film of the same name, which features epic car chase scenes – at the event.
The vehicle will be priced at US$385,000 (RM1.8mil), with deliveries targeted to start in the second half of 2025. Fisker will produce just 999 vehicles.
The Ronin will feature a unique aluminum space frame with integrated battery cells to achieve its targeted 965km range.
The Super GT convertible is expected to produce over 1,000hp. It will seat five people and function as a sports sedan when the folding hardtop is raised.
Fisker’s objective with Ronin is to bring exceptional utility to the high end of the market, where numerous big-name performance manufacturers have introduced SUVs.
Responding to this trend, Fisker has designed Ronin to accommodate five people while taking advantage of an electric vehicle’s layout to provide exceptional cargo capacity.
With a projected 0-100kph time of around two seconds and a 275kph top speed, Ronin will be able to match up with or surpass any supercar currently on the market while also delivering tremendous range. Focus will be on driver enjoyment rather than autonomous technologies, although they will be available as needed.
Rear butterfly doors will ensure easy rear-seat access.
Only a single door handle will be required, as the front doors open electrically by swiping the handle or by using a smartphone; the handle then extends when the rear doors are ready to be opened.
All doors can be opened remotely by a smartphone, and the foldable, carbon-fibre hardtop will also be smartphone activated and automatically retract into the trunk, leaving some luggage space; additional luggage space will be available in the front trunk.
Lightweight materials will also feature in the carbon-fibre 23-inch wheels.
Fisker said the interior will set new standards for sustainable luxury and will use innovative recycled and sustainable materials, with the goal of making Ronin the world’s most sustainable supercar.
The Ronin will also have a 17.1-inch high-resolution screen and an instrument cluster positioned in front of the driver.
“Our goal was to create a classic grand touring car, updated for the 21st century and engineered for customers who want to drive from Los Angeles to Napa Valley on a single charge or take on the autobahn at steady high speeds without concern for battery capacity,” said chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker.
