Who knew? Going green was gonna be this sexy this fast!
With a top speed of 125 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 5.8 seconds, the Karma is the world's first true premium plug-in hybrid sports sedan. The Fisker Karma and Karma S (Convertible) get their considerable power from a lithium ion battery and two electric motors that generate 400+ horsepower and deliver 100 MPG in fuel in fuel efficiency.
The Fisker won't be the first nor the only plug in-hybrid on thee road. The Chevy Volt is also a plug in hybrid vehicle that gets extended range from an onboard motor. The similarities stop there. The Volt will be squarely aimed at mass market early adopters while the Fisker Karma is aimed at early adopters looking for a unique luxury driving experience. While the Karma's $87,000.00 price tag is about twice as much as the Volt, it is suprisingly competitive for a car that will deliver performance and 100 MPG!
And the Karma's low center of gravity and performance oriented, suspension system deliver a
world class driving experience. Tall, wide tires deliver immense lateral grip while electrohydaulic disc brakes provide effortless stopping power. Karma's exterior design features the continual flow of sculpture and dramatic proportion that is signature Fisker style. A low, wide stance and raised front fenders offer the driver a unique view of the car's design.
If you are not a car enthusiast you probably havn't heard of Fisker. The fledgling company was started in 2006 by Henrik Fisker a leading autombile designer whose design credits include the Aston Martin DB9, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the BMW Z8.
