The Fisker Ronin is a £300,000 electric convertible
New American brand looks to rival Tesla’s long-awaited Roadster
The electric American car brand Fisker has announced new details around its upcoming flagship GT car, the Ronin.
Named after the 1998 film Ronin, which is known for its legendary car chase, this new Fisker was revealed for the first time last week, with the firm now confirming new details around its price, performance and production.
Pitched as a rival to the long-awaited Tesla Roadster, as well as the upcoming Polestar 6, due on sale in 2026, the Ronin will priced at $385,000 (£303,000), with reservations already open. It will be limited to just 999 examples too.
It will act as the brand’s halo model, above the Ocean SUV, which is set to arrive in the UK by the end of the year, and then the more affordable Pear crossover that is set to come to market i 2025.
Despite its sleek design, Fisker says the Ronin has been designed to ‘accommodate five people’ while offering ‘exceptional cargo capacity’. The firm puts this down to its versatile electric car platform.
It’s not lacking in performance either, with Fisker anticipating a 0-60mph time of just two seconds and a top speed of 170mph. The performance is said to be able to ‘match u[ with or surpass any supercar currently on the market’, too.
Fisker is targeting a 600-mile with the Ronin, which it says will be enough to drive from ‘Los Angeles to Napa Valley on a single charge’.
The Ronin is also being engineered in the UK, with Fisker establishing a ‘Magic Works’ facility here to develop its more special projects.
Henrik Fisker, chairman and chief executive, said: “he Fisker Rōnin is for people who love to drive, but who are also thrilled by automotive art and design and demand that their high-performance vehicles embrace a sustainable future.
“Our goal was to create a classic grand touring car, updated for the 21st century and engineered for customers who want to drive from Los Angeles to Napa Valley on a single charge or take on the autobahn at steady high speeds without concern for battery capacity.”
