Always liked these cars. The design is very cool and sharp. I know these don’t hold a candle to a Tesla but can’t deny its a striking car. For 50k I'm not sure who would be in the market for this car.

Still think its amazing and would buy over a Tesla for sure at that price.

Too bad I’m looking for manual convertibles …. and not spending that much money.

I see two in SF pretty regularly, I still think they need a Maserati GT motor :P They look better in person, very wide and flat, interesting presence.

That would be cool but I’d settle for this:

Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be getting them.

I’d never thought twice about these until I followed one home from work one day. Absolutely beautiful.

I remember hearing about this. Didnt someone buy the remaining Fisker bodies or something?

Yep - Bob Lutz’ Destino project. Drops in an LS9 crate motor and reworks Henrick Fisker’s mustache grill.

How does one handle getting parts for that car? I like them, but worry that they would be become expensive lawn ornaments very fast.

It sounds like the company who bought fisker planned on making replacement parts available but I'm not sure if that ever happened. I would just be extremely wary about purchasing a car with little to no support.

Particularly a car that was basically a production prototype with an exotic power train.
