Our hopes of taking the Fisker Atlantic for a spin next year just got dampened considerably: a big document leak has revealed that the more reasonably-priced alternative to the Karma won’t be rolling off the production lines en masse until mid-2014, a year later than we’d expected. Thanks in part to a factory overhaul, the only Atlantics rolling on their hybrid-powered wheels in mid-2013 will be prototypes. On the upside, we’ve learned more about the car itself, including a fairly brisk 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds courtesy of a 300HP-equivalent motor. Green drivers who thought that the promised lower price would put it into entry-level luxury will nonetheless get a reality check with that $ 50,000 to $ 60,000 target, even if it’s still a big savings over the six-digit Karma. There’s still a huge amount of leeway for things to change, but with our compatriots at Autoblog having confirmed that the documents were real and “highly confidential,” they may be a sign that the Tesla Model S will have free rein in the green luxury sedan world for a good year or more.
