Emotion Electric Car With 'Butterfly' Doors, 400-Mile Range

                     Henrik Fisker poses with  Fisker Emotion 

Fisker has launched its Emotion electric luxury saloon at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas – and there’s a vegan option.

The long-awaited Tesla rival, with eye-catching looks and dramatic 'butterfly' doors, has a non-animal interior available for those who don’t want the premium leather interior of the show car.

And it's not just a pretty face. The Fisker offers cutting-edge EV technologies, most notably a 400-mile range and a top speed of 161mph – though both won't be achievable at the same time.

The Fisker Emotion is expected to be on sale in 2020 and cost $129,900, or about £96,000 at current exchange rates.

Size and performance-wise the four-wheel drive Emotion has plenty in common with Elon Musk’s four-door Tesla Model S, but the Fisker has a lot of carbon fibre and aluminium in its make-up so should be lighter than the popular American saloon that has become the benchmark for electric cars.
