A curiously-named supercar developed by notorious car designer Henrik Fisker has been teased in a sketch ahead of the [2016 Detroit Auto Show](<https://naias.com/>). Fisker, who calls the car the ['The Force 1](<https://www.worldcarfans.com/1151211101918/henrik-fisker-to-introduce-a-new-supercar-in-detroit>)', began development earlier this year with input from an unidentified "acclaimed race car driver."

Based on the illustrations, The Force 1 will feature classic lines similar to those that made [Henrik Fisker](<https://www.automobilemag.com/auto_shows/detroit/2016/henrik-fisker-teases-the-force-1-supercar-ahead-of-detroit-show/>) a household name (he is responsible for designing the BMW Z8, Aston Martin DB9, and Aston Martin V8 Vantage). A long hood, strong wheel arches, prominent character lines, long wheelbase, and short rear deck all seem to tear a page from the Aston Martin design playbook. Further design details include elements on the hood, which has a pair of centered NACA ducts flanked by two vents. The GT coupe is reportedly fitted out with a set of 21-inch wheels with Pirelli P Zero tires.

Details on [The Force 1](<https://www.motortrend.com/news/henrik-fisker-design-teases-new-supercar-ahead-of-detroit/>) are few, but Fisker promises that the powerplant will be one of the most powerful naturally-aspirated engines in the world. Customers will have a choice between a six-speed manual or an automatic gearbox that will send power to the rear wheels.

“I believe there is room in the market for a daily driver that embodies all the attributes of the best track racing car, and the comfort of a luxurious sports car,” Fisker said. He expects The Force 1 to begin production at its Michigan factory by April of next year. The Force 1 will be limited to just 50 units and carry a price tag of approximately $300,000. Chump change.
