" The wait for the Fisker Atlantic plug-in hybrid is going be longer than anticipated, at least according to purportedly investor-related documents leaked by automotive website InsideEVs. The documents reveal a sale date of 2014, and new details regarding the Atlantic&amp;#039;s engine output and emissions target. While Fisker didn&amp;#039;t mention any timetables regarding Atlantic sales during the car&amp;#039;s official debut \u2013 held the night before the New York Auto Show media preview \u2013 the long wait set off alarm bells. After all, Fisker&amp;#039;s only current model, the Karma sedan, was plagued with several production delays before finally coming to market in mid-2011.  Perhaps Fisker is taking extra time to ensure the Atlantic meets, or exceeds, all expectations? The Karma has been widely praised for its sleek design and hybrid powertrain, though overall fit and finish have occasionally not lived up to its $103,000 starting price. The Atlantic will cost roughly half that amount, with a range of $50,000 to $60,000 (excluding federal and state tax credits). That price is on par with entry-level versions of the Tesla Model S sedan. The Atlantic&amp;#039;s turbocharged and BMW-sourced 4-cylinder engine, working in conjunction with two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack, should be good for an even 300 horsepower.  As we noted during the New York Auto Show, the Atlantic will have an electric-only driving range of approximately 30 miles. After that point, the gasoline engine fires up to power an onboard generator, which is used to create additional electric energy. According to these recently leaked documents, the Atlantic should be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds, and emit an extremely low 50 grams of CO2 emissions per kilometer \u2013 that&amp;#039;s about half the CO2 emissions levels of the U.S.-spec Smart Fortwo.
