The company, founded and led by automotive designer Henrik Fisker, says the Ronin will function as a sports sedan when the folding hardtop is raised, making it a sort of 2-in-1 vehicle, similar to what the discontinued internal combustion Mercedes-Benz S-Class convertible, but with a carbon fiber roof instead of a cloth one and two extra doors.
The folding roof is smartphone-activated and retracts into the trunk, leaving "some luggage space." There's also a front trunk that provides additional cargo space.
All doors can be opened remotely via smartphone, and a single door handle will be mounted on each side, with the front doors opening electrically by swiping the handle or using the smartphone app. The handle then extends when the rear butterfly doors are ready to open.
Fisker says the projected 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time is about 2 seconds, while the top speed will be 170 mph (274 km/h), helped in part by the "over 1,000 horsepower" drivetrain and the use of lightweight materials throughout, such as the aluminum space frame and 23-inch carbon fiber wheels.
Inside, the Ronin will use innovative recycled and sustainable materials with the goal of making the electric Super GT convertible "the world's most sustainable supercar. A high-resolution 17.1-inch screen and instrument cluster in front of the driver will adorn the dashboard, with one of the photos showing a screen on the steering wheel itself.
"The Fisker Ronin 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,” Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker said.
Only 999 units will be hand-built, each priced at $385,000, putting the all-electric flagship in the same range as the Bentley Continental GTC Mulliner W12, which starts at around $378,000. Reservations for the Fisker Ronin are open on the company's website, with a $2,000 deposit for the first pre-order and a fully refundable $1,000 deposit for the second.
