That Fisker is very interesting to me and my needs, and at that price point. New brand quality worries me, however, Does being built in Austria mean Magna-Styr? That would give me a bit more confidence.

Think it is but hope you like wide cars though as its 82" - makes it wider than the current RR and x7 (im not a fan of wide cars but guess you get used to it)

Not sure how accurate this image is in terms of the arches being wider than the mirrors, but the pdf on the website has it as 78.5" -

Ha, that's nothing.
I was completely sold on the idea of an Aptera.

Apologies, the pic is from Fiskers own website so i shall wind my neck in but im sure i saw somewhere that its 82" wide on their website. But ah well, still looks like a great package though im not sure how many free miles youd get from the solar panel in the uk.

There's one at the FoS. It does look quite chunky.

The "concept" for the Polestar 5 is also there: 870 BHP....!

As for the accuracy of the pic from the website, the frontal elevation shows the arches considerably wider than the mirrors, and the plan view is the opposite.
