How the designer decided to assemble his own car and went bankrupt - the story of Fisker Karma
There is an opinion that if you really want to do something well, do it yourself. The idea of ​​creating his own car for Henrik Fisker was born, most likely, at the moments of the rise of his design career. It was he who designed the exteriors of the Aston Martin DB-9 and V-8 "Ventach", BMW Z8. On the crest of fame, he founded a body shop, creating unique cars from serial Mercedes SL and BMW 6-series. At the same time, the converted cars lost their "mother" designations, receiving Fisker Tramonto and Fisker Latigo in return.


The fame of the manufacturer did not allow Henrik, apparently, to sleep peacefully, and in the end he decided to build his own hybrid car, aiming at the glory of the Toyota Prius, the most successful hybrid on the planet. Of course, he took out loans, taking on obligations in the amount of about $200 million. Although the salary of the best designer had a lot of zeros, it was still clearly not enough. Even more financial injections into the idea after the presentation of Fisker Karma were collected very quickly - Even Leonardo DiCaprio decently invested in this project. But life likes to make its own adjustments, and it is quite expected that something went wrong. What exactly, and how the story of the car created by the designer ended, you will learn from this video provided for viewing by the Alex Blare Cult Cars channel.
