    GO t’s a revolutionary moment, ” says Henrik Fisker, a youthful-looking 45-year-old, as he strolls through his spanking-new office-in-progress in an office park outside Irvine, California. Workers pound and walls rise, literally, as he speaks. “I think the Inext three to four years will be more revolutionary than GREEN we’ve ever seen, and unless the current car companies start making some radical changes, some of them will lose out. Customers will migrate to new brands.” There is every reason to believe that, in the not- too-distant future, the car in your driveway could be American-made but not a product of the Big Three. MEANS For the first time in more than a century, the auto industry offers gigantic opportunities to anyone who has the right ideas—and the engineering know- how—to reinvent the way we drive. The sort of person like Fisker, founder and president of perhaps the most exciting new car company in America. Much has been made of Tesla—Elon Musk’s all-electric car company, which delivered its 100th Roadster, after innumerable delays, in December—but it is this man’s company, Fisker Automotive (which didn’t even exist until September 2007) that stands most poised to make a huge splash. That’s not to say both can’t work. They can, and others will follow in their wake. Because whether or not Ford and GM can overhaul themselves, the door is wide open for entrepreneurs who are willing to take a shot at reimagining the way we drive.

  • Lauge Jensen
    ANDERS KIRK JOHANSEN INTRODUCES THE VIKING CONCEPT MOTORCYCLE DESIGNED BY HENRIK FISKER • Premium concept motorcycle unites two of Denmark’s most innovative industry names: Anders Kirk Johansen and Henrik Fisker • Viking Concept design study indicates possible future direction for bespoke Danish custom bike builder, Lauge Jensen • Viking Concept is the first motorcycle to be Euro IV compliant without compromising the character and soul of the V-twin engine • Signature Fisker design strengths applied to a motorcycle for the first time April 17, 2014 – Lauge Jensen motorcycles is today unveiling the Viking Concept at the Top Marques luxury brands show in Monaco. This premium motorcycle is a design study that blends the talents of two of Denmark’s most creative talents: Anders Kirk Johansen, an industrialist whose family invented LEGO™, and renowned vehicle designer Henrik Fisker. The Viking Concept points to a possible volume-production direction for Johansen’s Lauge Jensen brand, following his acquisition of the company in 2012. Johansen commissioned world-renowned automotive designer Henrik Fisker, previously a design chief at both BMW and Aston Martin and the designer of the Fisker Karma, to design the Viking Concept. The result is a bike that retains a classic cruiser look sculptured into a dynamic, flowing design. In particular the tank, seat and rear fender blend together to create a seamless effect. Fisker believes this to be unique in custom motorcycles. The Viking Concept is powered by a 45-degree V-twin producing 100hp, making the bike capable of more than 130mph. Yet it’s the first motorcycle of its type to comply with new, much more stringent Euro IV emissions regulations that come into effect in 2016.
