The Fisker Karma

Talk about the right car at the right time. Legendary car designer Henrik Fisker has unveiled his hybrid sports car, the Karma. Not only will the Karma hit 60 mph in under 6 seconds, but when operated properly, it will consume only one tank of gas a year. And we're not talking about George Jetson stuff, this car will be available next year.

The first of its kind four-door plug-in hybrid premium sports sedan will have a starting price of $80,000. Initial deliveries of the Karma will commence in the 4th quarter of 2009 with annual production projected to reach 15,000 cars.


The Fisker Karma will offer partly self-contained climate control, as consumers will have the option to purchase a full length solar roof that will help charge the car and provide cooling for the interior cabin while the car is parked. Additionally, Fisker Automotive will offer consumers an option to purchase a set of solar panels for their roofs or garages where they can generate electricity during the day to charge the car overnight…again cost and emission free.
