FISKER AUTOMOTIVE NEWS AT THE FRANKFURT AUTOSHOW
Frankfurt, Germany – September 13, 2011: Taking center stage at Fisker Automotive’s Frankfurt Show stand is a stunning new version of the Fisker Karma—the Fisker Surf—a new model that delivers on Fisker’s promise of Pure Driving Passion and Uncompromised Responsible Luxury. But that’s not the only news from the environmentally responsible American Car Company:
FISKER SURF
The new Fisker Surf is the world’s first electric luxury/sports automobile for an active and eco-friendly lifestyle. The Fisker Surf builds on the success of the ground-breaking Karma Electric Vehicle with extended range (EVer™) by adding additional, flexible load-carrying capability, along with a spirited new attitude all its own. Fisker Surf combines performance, luxury, style, utility, and economy with an enduring concern for the sustainable use of resources and respect for our natural environment. As a global company Fisker Automotive will offer the Surf in all its markets around the world for the 2013 model year. The Surf is Fisker’s vision of a crossover between a sport car and a station wagon and shows how Fisker is expanding its Karma platform rapidly with additional models that again create a new market niche.
“The Surf is a first-of-its-kind eco-friendly lifestyle vehicle that offers space, performance and luxury design for people who live an active, environmentally conscious lifestyle and like to drive beautiful cars,” Henrik Fisker, CEO/Executive Design Director, Fisker Automotive.
NEW SUPPLIER
Fisker Automotive recently announced the signing of an agreement with BMW that will cover the supply of engines and other components for future Fisker models. BMW will supply a four-cylinder turbocharged engine for the next generation of Fisker cars, code-named ‘Project Nina’, which are scheduled to go into production in the re-commissioned former GM plant in Wilmington, Delaware at the end of 2012 and be on sale globally in 2013. The first ‘Project Nina’ derivative will be a mid-size premium sedan utilizing Fisker’s EVer™ technology to deliver on Fisker’s corporate vision of Uncompromised Responsible Luxury.
Henrik Fisker, comments; “The BMW engine was an obvious choice for us, as BMW is known for producing the best and most fuel efficient gasoline engines in the world. We are very pleased to have signed this agreement with BMW."

FISKER KARMA LANDS 2011 BBC TOP GEAR ‘LUXURY CAR OF THE YEAR’ AWARD
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - U.S.
FISKER KARMA LANDS DOUBLE HONORS AT 2011 BBC TOP GEAR AWARDS, INCLUDING ‘LUXURY CAR OF THE YEAR’
l New California manufacturer wins ‘Luxury Car of the Year’
l James May names Fisker Karma as his ‘Car of the Year’
Anaheim, California, USA – November 30, 2011: The Fisker Karma sedan has been crowned ‘Luxury Car of the Year’ by BBC Top Gear magazine as well as ‘Car of the Year’ by Top Gear TV presenter, James May.
As a start-up American car company, this award is very significant for Fisker Automotive. Top Gear is the world’s leading global automotive magazine and television show and, importantly, is based in Europe - the heart of the world’s top luxury automotive brands.
The Karma – Fisker’s first production car – is a 403 hp luxury sedan and the world’s first true electric vehicle with extended range (EVer™). In addition to being a four-door four-passenger sedan with sport performance and striking sculptural design, the Karma is also one of the most efficient, low-emission vehicles available today. The Karma combines the zeroemission efficiency of electric drive with the range and freedom of gasoline-powered cars, due to its cutting-edge EVer™ series hybrid powertrain technology.
Charlie Turner, BBC Top Gear magazine editor, explained why the Karma was a worthy winner: “Cleverness abounds in the Fisker and adds to the air of intelligent luxury. It works well, it looks good and it must be a genuinely exciting thing to own.
“It’s the top-of-the-line spec that features no leather, just textiles and reclaimed wood. And it’s more convincing than it sounds, managing to look, feel and smell premium without any cow peel in it at all,” Turner concluded.
Henrik Fisker, co-founder, CEO and executive design director of Fisker Automotive, commented: “It is fantastic news that the Karma has won two awards from Top Gear. We realize that we are at the beginning of our journey and awards like this remind us we are on the right road - building enticing green cars that people actually want to own. It’s particularly pleasing that this award recognizes the Karma as the world’s first luxury hybrid electric car.”
“It’s a triumph that American engineers have designed and engineered this ground breaking car at our global Headquarters in Anaheim, CA and that there is now a new American car option that is bold, beautiful, smart, and environmentally responsible.”
“We’re big fans of both the Top Gear show and magazine - it’s great to see motoring entertainment that is loved by millions. The fact that Fisker cars appeal to the Top Gear audience inspires us to continue producing cutting-edge luxury vehicles with extended range, including our upcoming new mid-sized sedan that will be built in Delaware, USA.”
It’s the latest in a run of high-profile recent awards for the Karma sedan that Fisker Automotive has been very proud to win, including Automobile’s Design of the Year and a Global Green Design Award. In winning the Top Gear ‘Luxury Car of the Year’ award, the Karma joins an exclusive group of prestigious previous winners, such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe, Jaguar XJ and Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe.
