Fisker Karma

Adam Gunderson — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 22:34:39 +0000

The extraordinary designs of Henrik Fisker are no stranger to iWishihadthis.com. Luckily for us yet another awesome car from Fisker was shown at NAIAS. Available late 2009 the Fisker Karma ($80,000) is powered by Q-Drive which utilizes a 4-cylinder engine that powers a generator, resulting in a premium hybrid sports sedan that can run from zero to sixty in 5.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 125 mph.

The car has 2 driving modes. The first “Stealth Mode” is a pure electric mode which should allow the Karma to run off the lithium ion battery pack for 50 miles before the engine kicks in. The second, a sports mode, uses the four-banger at peak performance and, according to Fisker, makes the Karma sound like a combination of a jet fighter and an F1 car. Also the batteries compartments are located in the middle of the car, which lowers the center of gravity, giving it nearly perfect balance. Of course this sedan is goign to feature the latest in-car luxuries like navigation system and DVD player with headrest-mounted displays. My favorite part of the car is the self-contained climate control, it is a full-length solar roof to help charge the car and provide cooling for the interior cabin while the car is parked.
