+Fisker Automotive just finished up their reveal of the Atlantic, the second model line they plan to produce. The design is clearly an evolution of the Karma design language, although smaller and potentially a bit roomier.

Aside from the fact that they will use a BMW four cylinder engine as the range extender (something that was announced two years ago), Henrik Fisker and CEO Tom LaSorda didn't announce any other hardware details. Following last week's recall on defective batteries I'll be curious to see if they continue with A123 or switch to a different supplier.

Of course all that may be moot if the company can't generate enough cash to fund development of the Atlantic tool up the Wilmington Delaware plant where it is supposed to be built.

I'm not sure how it is that these leaks always seem to surface through one of the numerous obscure eastern European sites, but here is the Fisker Atlantic (formerly known as Project Nina). Assuming that +Fisker Automotive manages to survive it's current monetary squeeze (something that is far from guaranteed) the Atlantic is intended to come in at about half the price or less of the $100K+ Karma.

It retains the same basic front engine/rear motor extended range EV layout of the Karma but with a BMW four cylinder sitting under the hood and presumably a lower motor output.

While the Karma has dubious build quality and reliability so far, it's hard to argue with Henrik Fisker's sense of style and that carries over to this new model. It retains many of the cues of its big brother but on a more reasonable scale and hopefully it tips the scales a bit lower than the Karma's 5,300 lbs as well.

The full story on the Atlantic should be revealed on Tuesday.
