Fisker Surf

Wed, 14 Sep 2011

Fisker has unveiled its new eco-friendly plug-in hybrid Surf vehicle at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show.

The Surf, which the company claims is the world's first electric luxury/sports automobile, follows up the Fisker Karma's electric vehicle with extended range, but has additional cargo capacity and load carrying capabilities. The Surf weighs in at only 66 pounds more than the Karma sedan, despite increased glass and bodywork.

This is Fisker's latest addition to its Karma platform, in which the manufacturer hopes to create a new market niche. The Surf is due to be released worldwide in time for the 2013 model year.
