Fisker have only revealed the Nina design to investors. The Surf is essentially the same vehicle as the Karma, with some minor changes to the rear end; but the Nina is quite different, with a BMW engine, one rather than two electric motors, and a transmission. It's likely to have a shorter wheelbase and not be as wide (and hence weigh less and get better e- and gas-mileage).

I wonder whether the transmission idea will work. Tesla could not get theirs to work; the electric motor was too powerful, and kept breaking the transmissions.
