Henrik Fisker Unveils Thunderbolt in Amelia Island
The car you’re looking at is called the “Thunderbolt” and it is what designer Henrik Fisker thinks the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Coupe should look like.
Fisker unveiled the Thunderbolt today during the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, a design study with a custom body design free of creases and crafted of carbon fiber. The Thunderbolt also gets unique headlamps that are reminiscent of other designs in Fisker’s past.
The interior features Panasonic’s new 11.6-inch “Curved Control Screen,” marking the first time the technology is being used in a car. Panasonic says the design will reduce glare while delivering an optimal viewing angle for the driver by offering an adjustable height position. The rest of the interior is bespoke with a design that does the Aston Martin justice while stepping away from the British luxury brand’s own design. For example, there is a champagne bottle holster built into the center arm rest.
Fisker said the Thunderbolt is in no way affiliated with Aston Martin and that there isn’t currently a plan to build copies of the car for private collections, but that a small production run might take place if there is enough customer demand.
