A Chinese Hybrid manufactured in the US based off a Fisker design.

Total weight: 5,400lbs

Limited to about 125mph but 0-60 in roughly 4 seconds.

At that curb weight, tire replacement must be a very frequent maintenance requirement.

quote:

It uses a BMW-sourced 1.5L 3-cylinder engine as a range extender for its twin electric motors (300KW total), producing 536 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque, with an impressive 80-mile all-electric range and a total range of 360 miles. Key features include a lightweight aluminum chassis, rear-wheel drive, multiple drive modes (Stealth, Sustain, Sport), and advanced safety tech, offering a premium driving experience with a focus on style and technology.

I've seen a few. They are relatively good looking. There are many reviews and videos shared by owners discussing how poorly the car is built.

I read something the other day ( not sure if factual or not) that the Chinese EV producers are about to overwhelm the domestic EV producers unless we put on some tariffs or something to preventer destruction of the domestic EV market here.

Attractive design, and thanks for taking the time to post the pic.

Currently hunting a 23 M5 Comp bc it weighs a 1000lb less than a 25M5.

it's a pipe dream but I wish they'd just lighten up regulations so that domestic could actually compete instead of just taking away the competition.

Fisker is perhaps the best car stylist of our time. Aston DB9. BMW Z8. The origina Tesla S.

I thought the chevron deference case was supposed to eliminate a lot of this shite but so far it hasn’t made a difference.

The styling caught my eye.

No idea how it drives but it looks like a great car.

Someone who lives around the corner from me has one, often parked out front. They’ve had it a while so probably a 2017-2020 model if I had to guess.

I would never buy one, but it’s a good looking car.
