US-based electric automaker Fisker has published the first official images of the EMotion, its upcoming carbon fiber and aluminum all-electric luxury sedan. Designer Henrik Fisker shared renders of a prototype last October but these are the first images of a true-to-life model.

As you can see, the latest photos highlight a design that’s a bit more refined. The front grill is smaller, the hood “vents” have been redesigned and relocated to the upper portion of the hood and there’s now a charging access port on the front left fender.

Fisker revealed that the front grill features integrated LIDAR technology and thanks to built-in cameras in the side mirrors, drivers will get a 360-degree panoramic view of the car. Carbon fiber and aluminum wheels, developed in partnership with Dymag, are said to reduce rotational mass by 40 percent and contribute to its impressive range.

The company previously boasted that the EMotion will afford a 400-mile electric range and a top speed of 161 mph. These facts were reiterated in the latest press release with Fisker noting that its proprietary UltraCharge technology can supply more than 100 miles of range in just nine minutes.

Fisker said it will be revealing additional details this month ahead of pre-orders opening on June 30 via its website. Pricing will start at $129,900 for a model with the “ultra large” battery pack which suggests Fisker will offer different battery capacity configurations, a common practice among the competition.

Can't wait for a company to make a regular electric car that isn't ugly. Their either like this one, Exotic, or retarded looking.

90% of people that can afford a $130K vehicle don't give a crap about the environment.

90% of people don't give a crap about the environment, money got nothing to do with it.

Hmmmmmm ..... you can get the same "look" with a Corvette for a lot less and the new Chevy engine beats that speed at 30 mpg ..... I'm not a Corvette fan, but you can buy one heck of a lot of fuel for the price difference .....

Honest thought experiment: where is the price cross over? How many miles (and how fast) can you drive the corvette before it becomes cheaper to have bought the Fisker and paid the electric bill?

Good point, but a better one might be .... which will be the better chic magnet!

I will venture a guess that most Corvette buyers are not particularly concerned with which car is less expensive in the long run.

Depends on the chick I suppose. If she is a hippy or nerd, the Fisker probably wins. Corvette in all other cases.

Same for Fisker buyers, so I would say the argument remains equally relevant for both - as in irrelevant in any practical sense.
