Simply over per week after publicly showcasing its upcoming Ronin tremendous GT for the primary time, Fisker has adopted up with some extra pertinent particulars, together with a restricted manufacturing run and a beginning value which will require the sale of a few of your organs. That is perhaps value it to some to personal what Fisker describes because the “world’s most sustainable supercar.”

The story of the Ronin dates again to 1998 when the function movie starring Robert De Niro debuted, inspiring Fisker Inc. chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker to call the corporate’s tremendous GT convertible after it over twenty years later.

From an EV standpoint, we first realized about “Challenge Ronin” in Might 2022, when it was introduced as Fisker’s third mannequin within the pipeline alongside a promise to ship essentially the most vary of any manufacturing EV available on the market, with none trace on the value.

Most of Fisker’s press had pertained to its flagship Ocean SUV and upcoming PEAR EV throughout that point, at the least till this previous July when Fisker gave us an awesome look on the Ronin tremendous GT alongside information that its estimated vary will probably be an unheard-of 600 miles on a single cost.

Throughout its inaugural Product Imaginative and prescient Day, held in its native California final week, Fisker supplied a close-up take a look at all of its upcoming EVs, together with the price-friendly PEAR, the brand new Alaska pickup, and the primary prototype model of the Ronin tremendous GT.

Along with the 600-mile vary, Fisker shared that Ronin will have the ability to seat 5, supply 1,000 horsepower, and speed up 0-60 mph in about two seconds. One enormous issue lacking was the worth of the Ronin, which was revealed this morning alongside some particulars of Fisker’s manufacturing plans.

Fisker Ronin to see restricted manufacturing and a value to match

Simply over per week after opening reservations for the Ronin, we now have a value – $385,000. It kind of slaps you within the face at first look, however it makes (just a little) extra sense when you think about that that is purported to be a supercar promising 80 miles extra vary than the longest-driving EV available on the market at this time.

Ronin’s exclusivity can even play a job in its value, as Fisker additionally shared that it solely intends to construct 999 of them. Different options famous embody a high velocity of 175 mph (275 km/h), a 17.1-inch high-resolution display screen (seen above), and 23-inch carbon fiber wheels. The automaker’s chairman and CEO spoke in regards to the tremendous GT prototype, particularly its huge vary:

The Fisker Ronin is for individuals who like to drive, however who’re additionally thrilled by automotive artwork and design and demand that their high-performance automobiles embrace a sustainable future. Our purpose was to create a basic grand touring automobile, up to date for the 21^st century and engineered for patrons who wish to drive from Los Angeles to Napa Valley on a single cost or tackle the autobahn at regular excessive speeds with out concern for battery capability.

To get on the listing for one of many 999 Ronins deliberate, Fisker says prospects can put down an preliminary deposit of $2,000, with the choice to pay one other $1,000 that’s totally refundable for a second reservation. You already know, simply in case you’ve gotten $770,000 burning a gap in your pocket. Fisker is focusing on the primary Ronin deliveries within the second half of 2025.

Electrek’s take

$385,000 is some huge cash for an EV that goes 0-60 mph in 2 seconds, particularly when you think about that EVs from Tesla and Lucid Motors (clear rivals to the Ronin) are already available on the market and hitting 0-60 instances below 1.9 seconds.

1 / 4 of a second means all of the world whenever you’re spending near $400k on a automobile. Or possibly it doesn’t? I can’t say who Fisker’s target market is with the Ronin, however at solely 999 items promised, I’d think about loads of individuals will shrug off the worth tag only for the bragging rights of proudly owning one.

That’s if it ever will get made. Rather a lot must go proper for Fisker between at this time and mid-2025, and based mostly on the automaker’s present manufacturing woes, I can’t think about a limited-run tremendous GT is the best precedence. That stated, promoting all of them will surely herald some money.

Our fast focus is on the PEAR, which is far additional alongside than the Ronin prototype.
