What do Toyota Supra, BMW Z4 and Fisker Ocean have in common? Same producer.
Last Friday, Reuters reported that Magna Steyr, a subsidiary of Canada Magna International, had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Fisker to build the next electric SUV until the end of 2022. Magna Steyr did not reject our request for confirmation of the talks and Fisker did not respond to Roadshow’s request to comment on the matter.

Magna Steyr is, of course, the home of Supra and Z4, two unlikely platform partners. The company, founded in Graz, Austria, is also building the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. So, yes, Magna Steyr would be a pretty amazing company to handle the final production.
It has then become transparent that Fisker continues to provide more data about his EV return, which Fisker is unlikely to build it. The company can’t even use its own platform. Instead, Fisker has shown in the past that he continues to talk about using Volkswagen’s MEB electric car platform for the vehicle. However, there is no forged agreement with VW at this time.
According to Reuters, Fisker hopes to have a final agreement with Magna in the coming months for the safe production of the vehicle. When the ocean starts to come off the production line, it will be the company’s first electric vehicle missing in the past. THE first control of CEO Henrik Fisker in a vehicle company produced Karma. Today, the vehicle still exists a little after China’s Wanxiang bought the generation and created the Karma logo, which sells the Revero.
However, it is not entirely transparent if Magna will produce the ocean for the country. The original report cites Fisker’s comments suggesting that production for the United States and China could land elsewhere.
