As the first production vehicle to come from the newly formed company - a joint venture between Quantum Technologies and Fisker Coachbuild - the car will feature an all-new platform and a chassis that enables the battery pack to be placed between the two axles at the center of the vehicle. This positioning provides not only optimal driving dynamics and safety, but proportionate design as well, leading to a sleek design that accentuates the long hood.
Performance figures for the first car have it achieving 50 miles on electric power alone, while a gasoline or diesel engine extends the range to more than 620 miles. It has also been claimed to deliver 100mpg. Initial deliveries of the car will commence in late 2009 with annual production projected to reach 15,000 cars, each with a starting price of $80,000.
