Fisker Releases Further Details on its Ronin Super GT
Fisker, the California-based brand, has revealed further details on the Ronin Super GT convertible after being showcased at the company’s first ever Product Vision Day on August 3rd. It is seemingly stacked with speed, power and range, but doesn’t come cheaply as its price tag of $385,000 confirms.
However, before we get to all of that. Why the name Ronin, I hear you ask? It is based on the famous car chase heavy John Frankenheimer film of the same name and while I haven’t yet seen it, if the film is as action packed as the car then I’ll give it a watch. Reservations are now open for customers, providing they pay a $2,000 deposit fee for the first reservation followed by a fully refundable $1,000 for the second. Production is limited to just 999 vehicles and deliveries are being targeted for the second half of 2025.
So what do you get for your $385,000 spend? Fisker says its objective with Rōnin is to “bring exceptional utility to the high end of the market”. Noticing the trend in big-name manufacturers developing SUVs, Fisker has produced a GT car to seat five people whilst providing adequate space for kit, having utilised the EV layout to its advantage with additional luggage space in the front. That’s not to say that Fisker has neglected the SUV market entirely having recently produced the Ocean. Other neat features like butterfly doors, electrically operated front doors and the ability to transform into a convertible, with its removable carbon fibre hardtop retracting into the boot.
In terms of performance, a projected 0-60mph time of approximately two seconds and 170mph top speed is lightning quick. However, to show its true GT credentials, a targeted 600 mile range thanks to a unique aluminium space frame with integrated battery cells should see you cover plenty of countries on a cross Europe trip.
Fisker is adamant that the vehicles it produces have a high level of sustainability, and the interior in Rōnin uses innovative recycled materials. Other features of the car include 23-inch wheels and a 17.1-inch high resolution screen in the front
“The Fisker Rōnin is for people who love to drive, but who are also thrilled by automotive art and design and demand that their high-performance vehicles embrace a sustainable future,” Chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker said. “Our goal was to create a classic grand touring car, updated for the 21st century and engineered for customers who want to drive from Los Angeles to Napa Valley on a single charge or take on the autobahn at steady high speeds without concern for battery capacity.”
