Fisker $385K Rōnin to feature integrated battery pack, 600-mile range

Fisker released additional details on its Fisker Rōnin Super GT (earlier post), an all-electric convertible that was showcased at the company’s first-ever Product Vision Day on 3 August 2023.

Fisker opened reservations for Rōnin—an homage to the famous John Frankenheimer film of the same name, which features epic car chase scenes—on 3 August; early customers could place a deposit of $2,000 for the first reservation and a fully refundable $1,000 for the second. The vehicle will be priced at $385,000, with deliveries targeted to start in the second half of 2025. Fisker will produce just 999 vehicles.

Fisker says that its objective with Rōnin is to bring exceptional utility to the high end of the market, where numerous big-name performance manufacturers have introduced SUVs. Responding to this trend, Fisker has designed Rōnin to accommodate five people while taking advantage of an electric vehicle’s layout to provide exceptional cargo capacity, a true rarity in the supercar world.

With a projected 0-60 mph time of approximately two seconds and a 170 mph (275 km/h) top speed, Rōnin should be able to match up with or surpass any supercar currently on the market while also delivering tremendous range. Focus will be on driver enjoyment rather than autonomous technologies, although they will be available as needed, the company said.

Rear butterfly doors will offer easy rear-seat access. Only a single door handle will be required, as the front doors open electrically by swiping the handle or by using a smartphone; the handle then extends when the rear doors are ready to be opened. All doors can be opened remotely by a smartphone, and the foldable, carbon-fiber hardtop will also be smartphone activated and automatically retract into the trunk, leaving some luggage space; additional luggage space will be available in the frunk.

The Fisker Rōnin will feature an aluminum space frame with integrated battery cells to achieve its targeted 600-mile range. (The targeted range and other specifications are based upon Fisker internal simulations and are subject to change.)

Lightweight materials will also feature in the carbon-fiber 23-inch wheels. The interior will use innovative recycled and sustainable materials, with the goal of making Rōnin the world’s most sustainable supercar. The Fisker Rōnin will also have a 17.1-inch high-resolution screen and an instrument cluster positioned in front of the driver.
