While the Los Angeles Auto Show ended several days ago, we now have video of the Fisker press conference presented by Henrik Fisker.
Fisker confirms a third variant of the Karma will be shown in 2011 and discusses the current status on first delivery dates of customer Fisker Karma vehicles.
Recently featured in the Los Angeles Times was this insightful interview with Henrik Fisker.
Not long ago, Henrik Fisker was dashing up Interstate 5 to San Francisco when a highway patrolman clocked his Aston Martin roadster — a car that Fisker himself designed — going 97 mph.
He protested. (“It was 90 at the most.”) He got a ticket and set the cruise control at 70. For the next four hours, “I was overtaken by every grandmother,” he said. Running late, he pressed down the pedal.
This time, the radar gun caught him going 88 mph.
“How long since your last ticket?” the officer asked. Fisker paused, but decided to fess up. “Well, actually, not that long ago,” he replied.
Fisker plans to spend nearly $200 million to acquire and renovate the former GM plant in Wilmington, Delaware used to make the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and Opel GT. Fisker’s Project Nina will be assembled there.
