Fisker Officially Unveils New Audi A5 Rivaling Atlantic Plug-in Hybrid Sports Sedan [Pics & Video]
It's show time for the maker of the Karma hybrid, as Fisker officially presented its new Atlantic mid-size sports sedan at a special event on Tuesday night in advance of the car's world premiere at the New York Auto Show on Wednesday, April 4.
Revealed here as a design prototype, the Atlantic will be Fisker's first mainstream and mass produced vehicle. The company said the car is aimed at young families who want to drive "an impactful, high-end vehicle while making a positive statement about responsibilities".
The California-based automaker declined to get into specific details, but it is believed that the Atlantic will start from under $50,000, not including any federal green tax credits, which could reduce the price to a little over $40,000, or less than half the cost of the Karma.
Just like the Karma sedan, the Atlantic is a plug-in series hybrid that allows the driver to switch manually or automatically between electric and gasoline driving modes and sustain the charge of its lithium ion batteries on the move.

New Photos of Fisker's Atlantic Hybrid Sedan
Over the weekend, we brought the first official images of the new Fisker Atlantic, formerly known as the Project Nina, and now we can show you the mid-size sedan from a few new angles thanks to some fresh shots.
The new pictures give us a better view of the rear end design as well as our first look at the car's glass roof. As noted in our previous post, the Atlantic uses the same design language as the larger Karma on a smaller body with a fastback styling for the rear.

Fisker Atlantic Makes an Early Appearance Ahead of its New York Auto Show World Premiere
From the same people that brought us the first images of the BMW i8 Spyder on Friday, come these leaked pictures of the all-new Fisker Atlantic, a mid-size hybrid sedan that's destined to make its world debut at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday.
Recent spy pictures confirm the legitimacy of these two official photos that afford us our first unmasked view of the car.
Previously known under the project codename 'Nina', the Atlantic will sit under the $100,000+ Karma taking its place as Fisker's most affordable model.

Project Nina Named the Fisker Atlantic, uses a BMW Turbocharged Engine as a Range Extender
We just learned from a reliable source that the car we've come to know as the Project Nina and which will be revealed at next week's 2012 New York International Auto Show, will be named the Fisker Atlantic.
The Atlantic is a four-door plug-in hybrid that will sit under the Karma in Fisker's range with a price that will likely hover around the $50,000 (equal to €37,800) mark, or about half the cost of the larger Karma sedan.

Fisker Sketches New BMW-Powered Nina Sedan, Says More to Come at New York Auto Show
Despite the fact that Fisker received a huge blow after the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) froze the company's access to the federal loan it was awarded for engineering the Karma (US$169 million) and production of the midsize Project Nina sedan (US$359 million), the California based automaker continues to move on with its plans, or at least it claims to do so.
Today, Fisker sent out an invitation for the New York International Auto Show in which it included a sketchy teaser of what is assumed to be the new Project Nina sedan that will slot beneath the larger and far more expensive Karma.

Fisker Says Consumer Report's Karma Shut Down to Protect Itself
You most likely remember the much talked about incident with Consumer Report's Fisker Karma sedan that broke down only a few days after the magazine purchased a brand new example from a dealer for $107,850 (€82,500) during routine speedometer calibration runs on the company's test track.
Now, Fisker is trying to counter the bad publicity through a letter sent to customers by its newly appointed CEO and former executive at General Motors and Chrysler, Tom LaSorda.
Fisker's CEO stated in the letter that the Karma shut down during the drive to protect itself from further damage.

Fisker Whistleblower Claims Karma was Rushed into the Market to Meet DOE Loan Deadlines
It's a time-honored adage: "there's no such thing as bad publicity". However, Henrik Fisker may beg to differ as his company's Karma sedan has been making the headlines for a variety of problems ever since its delayed launch.
Now, a former Fisker employee claims to know the root of the company's issues with the Karma. The unnamed whistleblower told GiGaom that as the project was behind schedule, Fisker decided to roll out the hybrid before it was actually ready in order to meet the deadlines dictated by the Department of Energy-provided US$529 million loan.
