Atlantic (United States of America, 2013)

The Atlantic was unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show and it is Fisker's new mid-size sedan prototype.

Styling for the Atlantic is like a smaller Karma. However, the Atlantic has a glass-paneled roof with a criss-cross of beams that offer structural support. Fisker claims that this layout gives the car sufficient rear headroom and safety in case of a roll-over, while still looking stylish and attractive. To further carry the coupe-sedan hybrid, the handles for the rear doors are integrated into the C-pillars. Despite looking like a single piece, the tail lights are actually two strips of LEDs that separate when the truck is opened.

When it is released, the Atlantic will use a range-extended hybrid layout similar to the Chevrolet Volt that uses a four-cylinder engine as a generator to charge the batteries. Buyers will be able to plug in the Atlantic to charge its lithium-ion batteries as well. The engine is the BMW 2.0l, turbocharged engine used in the current 3-series.

“We are exceptionally proud of the Atlantic design prototype, and believe we have created another groundbreaking car that looks and will drive like nothing else on the road in this class,” said Henrik Fisker, Executive Chairman and Design Director of Fisker Automotive.
