If you\u2019re older than eight, you\u2019ll remember that, a few years ago, a little car company called Fisker tried to introduce the world to the idea of a svelte hybrid sports saloon. The car in question was the Karma, and while its intentions were noble, and it had its fans, it wasn\u2019t enough to save the company from going bust.<\/p>\n

However, with new investment, Fisker is back and reinvigorated. And it\u2019s just unveiled its first new car since the Karma. Welcome, everyone, to the all-electric Fisker EMotion (see what they did there?).<\/p>\n

The first thing you should know about the EMotion is that it\u2019s fast \u2013 really fast. Powered by \u201cmultiple\u201d electric motors at each wheel, it generates around 780 bhp, and will do 0-100 km\/h in \u201cless than three seconds\u201d. Yikes. The new Fisker isn\u2019t quite as quick at the top end, but it\u2019ll still apparently do 260 km\/h, which isn\u2019t bad at all.<\/p>\n

The second thing you\u2019ll no doubt have gathered about the EMotion is that it\u2019s incredibly good looking. Henrik Fisker, the man behind the company, originally penned the Aston Martin Vantage and the BMW Z8, so he knows the secret to designing a good-looking car. And we reckon the EMotion is up there with some of his best work. It has butterfly doors and everything.<\/p>\n

Inside, it\u2019s the same story. The old Karma\u2019s interior was made from largely sustainable materials, and while that was a nice quirk, it did mean that the luxury feel of the car was handicapped. However, it appears that the EMotion won\u2019t suffer from the same problem. Fisker hasn\u2019t said how much of the interior is made from sustainable materials (we\u2019re betting not much), but we\u2019re all for the supple leather and carbon-fibre accents around the EMotion\u2019s cabin.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also loads of tech, too. The carbon-fibre and aluminium body houses a massive collection of LiDAR sensors that will give the EMotion level-four autonomous driving capabilities. And, yes, those door handles sit flush on the body panels \u2013 only coming out when you unlock the car with your smartphone.<\/p>\n

In terms of range, Fisker reckons the EMotion will do 640 km on a single charge when it first launches. However, the company is also working on a new kind of battery technology that will give the car an 800 km range, as well as the ability to fully charge in under a minute. That tech won\u2019t be available on cars until 2020 at the earliest, but we may see it trialled in consumer smartphones later this year, so here\u2019s hoping that it works.<\/p>\n

Anyway, what do you think, Internet? This, or a Tesla?<\/p>\n
