BMW will supply 100,000 turbocharged four-pots per year, with the powerplants being used for Fisker's future Project Nina, a medium class range-extended hybrid vehicle that will enter production next year. Like we said, BMW will also supply other components, but no further details have been released up to this point.
Fisker was most impressed by the fuel efficiency of the German carmaker'engines, as this is also one of the main assets of its own products.
"The BMW engine was an obvious choice for us, as BMW is known for producing the best and most fuel efficient gasoline engines in the world. We are very pleased to have signed this agreement with BMW,” Henrik Fisker, the automotive producer's CEO said, explaining the decision to collaborate with the German automaker.
Project Nina is an important development, as it will be more affordable than the Fisker Karma, allowing the company to expand its operations - the vehicle is expected to have an US pricetag of around $50,000. However, the car will also be offered on other markets.
Fisker wants to make the most out of this development and thus customers will be able to choose between three body types, with the carmaker offering a sedan, a cabrio and a shooting-brake.
