For the ocean, Magna's "FM29" platform will be adopted as a newly developed platform. Ocean will also outsource production to a Magna plant in Europe. Magna currently manufactures multiple vehicles on behalf of global brands on a contract basis. For the ocean, the single motor "Sports", the twin motors "Ultra" and "Extreme", and the release commemorative limited model "One" are set. Extreme European vehicles are expected to reach up to 390 miles in the WLTP cycle. For single-motor sports, the maximum output is 275hp. The 0-96km / h acceleration is 6.9 seconds. The twin motor AWD Ultra has a maximum output of 540hp and 0-96km / h acceleration in 3.9 seconds. Similarly, with a twin motor, AWD Extreme has a maximum output of 550hp and runs through 0-96km / h acceleration in 3.6 seconds. ◆ 17.1 inch rotary display A newly developed center screen and UI (user interface) are adopted. A 17.1-inch rotating display was placed in the center of the dashboard. "Portrait control mode" can be displayed during normal driving, and "Landscape Hollywood mode" can be displayed when stopped. The Landscape Hollywood mode, combined with premium audio options, will provide front and rear seat occupants with an immersive viewing experience. Oceans can improve their capabilities with wireless updates. Sports include "earth drive mode" and "fan drive mode". "Hyper mode" will be added to Ultra and Extreme. Extreme and One will have an "offload mode". A smart traction torque vectoring system is installed to enhance performance and safety. ◆ Recycled nylon made from discarded fishing nets is used. Recycled materials are used for the carpet in the interior. This carpet is made from recycled nylon made from discarded fishing nets. In addition, 100% polycarbonate polyurethane and 100% reinforced rayon backing are used for the interior material. Complies with strict chemical emission regulations for various VOCs (formaldehyde, etc.). Eco-suede was also used. Recycled materials such as polyester fibers such as T-shirts, PET bottles, and plastics are also used. Polyester recycling can reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by 80% compared to traditional gasoline-based polyester manufacturing processes. As eco-sustainability, pollutant emissions and levels of energy consumption are guaranteed throughout the Ocean production cycle. At Ocean, rubber waste is also reused. Fisker uses waste rubber generated during tire manufacturing without landfill. Recycling can save a lot of energy and ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fisker plans to begin production of Ocean at its Magna plant in November 2022. It aims to start selling in the US and some European markets by the end of the year. In Europe, it is expected to sell 60,000 units a year.
