About Company
Fisker Automotive is a green American premium sports car company with a
mission to create a range of beautiful environmentally friendly cars that make
environmental sense without compromise.
The concept was created between two independent companies who clearly wanted to
make a difference in not only the automotive industry, but to the environment as
well. Fisker Coachbuild, LLC and Quantum Technologies announced this joint
venture partnership in September 2007. Fisker Coachbuild will provide exclusive
design services for Fisker Automotive while Quantum Technologies (QTWW - a
publicly traded company) will provide the latest technological advancements.
Each car will feature cutting-edge plug-in hybrid penned as Q DRIVE exclusively
for all Fisker Automotive vehicles.
A new segment is being created within the auto industry where people can really
use their power of choice. They can choose to be environmentally friendly with
their car purchase without compromising on the style and luxury that they are
used to. We believe in less compromise and more efficiency.
Fisker Automotive strives to be a serious environmental alternative to other
premium performance luxury cars on the road today. Fisker Automotive will be the
first company in the world to have this type of a car on the road – a beautiful
fast car that makes environmental sense.
Initial production is anticipated to be 15,000 vehicles annually with pricing to
start around $80,000.
