Henrik Fisker To Create Police Cruiser EV For Manhattan Beach?

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — When your car company chooses Manhattan Beach to be one of its base cities globally, you might as well have a talk with the city police captain about supplying his force with several of your company's soon-to-come, all-electric SUVs by turning them into police cruisers. And, you may as well create a rendering of that vehicle and let the Twitter world know all about it.

That's precisely how Henrik Fisker took to the Twitterverse — with a sleek, modern and appealing version of a Manhattan Beach Police Department police cruiser, all-electric, of course.

Fisker, who said he'd met with Manhattan Beach Police Captain Tim Hageman earlier in the week, is famous for designing luxury vehicles, among his best known vehicles are the BMW Z8, Aston Martin DB9, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Fisker Karma, Galpin-Fisker Mustang Rocket, VLF Force 1 V10, VLF Destino V8, Fisker EMotion, Fisker Ocean, and Fisker Orbit. He also designed the Viking motorcycle and Benetti Fisker 50 superyacht.

Fisker's upcoming Ocean SUV, positioned as an affordable and sustainable SUV, has a declared MSRP of $37,499. Fisker Inc. was launched in 2016. The company announced the mass-market all-electric SUV Ocean in 2018 and moved into Manhattan Beach in 2020.

Correction: Fisker kindly let Manhattan Beach Patch know that the meeting was between Henrik Fisker and Manhattan Beach Police Captain Tim Hageman.
