The Fisker Karma is a plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan produced by Fisker Automotive and manufactured at Valmet Automotive in Finland.[5] The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rated the Karma's combined city/highway fuel economy at 52 mpg-US (4.5 L/100 km; 62 mpg-imp) equivalent (MPG-e) in all-electric mode, and at 20 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg-imp) in gasoline-only mode. EPA's official all-electric range is 32 mi (51 km).[3][6] Due to the very small cabin interior volume, the EPA rated the Fisker Karma as a subcompact.[7]
After missing its initial late 2009 launch, and after the launch was rescheduled several times, the first deliveries took place in the U.S. in late July 2011,[8][9][10] and deliveries to retail customers began in November 2011.[6] Since December 2011 pricing in the U.S. starts at US$102,000 for the basic model, and US$116,000 for the top model
The Karma is a pure series hybrid, driven by a pair of 120 kW (161 hp) electric motors that get their power from a 20 kWh lithium ion battery supplied by A123 Systems. The battery pack runs down the center of the car, between the pairs of left-hand and right-hand seats, preventing a rear bench and seating four rather than five passengers. Once the battery is depleted, or when the driver presses the "Sport" mode button, the front-mounted 260-hp, 2.0-liter Ecotec four-cylinder direct-injected and turbocharged gasoline engine switches on to power a generator that sends electricity directly to the drive motors. The engine is sourced from General Motors.[1][16] Unlike the Chevrolet Volt, the Karma's engine is mated with a generator to provide an electrical connection to the motors and also recharge the batteries, and as such the electric motors are the only mechanical driving force connected to the wheels.[1] However, in all-electric mode, the Karma is around half as efficient as the Volt.[16] The proprietary Q-Drive hybrid drive train is supplied by Quantum Technologies, which operates in a joint venture with Fisker Coachbuild known as Fisker Automotive.[17] The Karma's curb weight is 5,300 lb (2,400 kg).[1]
The Karma includes as standard[18] a solar paneled roof manufactured by Asola Advanced and Automotive Solar Systems GmbH, a Quantum Technologies affiliate,[19] not only to aid in the recharging of its lithium-ion batteries but also to aid the cabin climate control system. The solar roof is capable of generating a half kilowatt-hour a day[20] and is estimated to provide up to 4 to 5 miles (6.4--8.0 km) of additional range a week assuming continuously sunny days.[21] Additionally, the car will offer a set of solar panels for the garage/house which may charge the Karma without the benefit of conventional electrical sources (e.g. 'off the grid').
The Karma's two 201 brake horsepower (204 PS) motors produce 1,300 newton metres (960 lbf·ft) of torque.[22][23] The Karma features a 125 mph (201 km/h) top speed and is capable of reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) from a standstill in 6.3 seconds[24].
The base model features an 'eco-friendly interior', including salvaged/reclaimed lumber. Optional leather seating is available, but it will use much more of the cow hide than would customarily be found on luxury models; hides with scratches and other marks (which should not affect functionality) will be used.[25]

From the outside the Karma Fisker is one gorgeous looking car probably the best looking car on the planet but until they revamp this engine I can't consider getting this sweet looking ride.
David Jones the engine is a GM and is small but is only a generator. The car is propelled by two electric motors to the rear wheels. Maybe close to 400 HP and nearly 1000 ft-lb or torque. But it is heavy, over 5000 lbs.
This. CAr fits every city boys personality all bark no bite
This car is crying for an amg 6.0 v12
the saddest part about it... its got more torque than a bugatti veyron from the twin electric motors, its got a 5300 lb curb weight so about 1000 lbs more than a veyron... but... 1000 lbs difference shouldnt make it that much slower when its got almost 1000 lb ft torque. it should be a LOT faster than what it is, idk what the problem is but somehow power from the motors is being lost in translation to the wheels
alot of money for car that can keep up with a saturn
That white mustang jumped off the line hella early
Its about looks not power
True it is not fast but I think it is a pretty car. Better looking than a Prius though not as efficient and slower by far than a Tesla but it is over 5000lbs. But still more exclusive than the Tesla. They make em different because people want and like different stuff. Otherwise we would all drive the same thing.
how come it has almost 1000 ftlbs of torque but can not get off the line worth a shart
a) very heavy and b) it was a lie similar to what tesla initially did. They just counted the torque and hp of both electroc motors together. When in fact they sum is always much less than its parts added together. Each motor only had 191hp. and torque is meaningless anyway as it always refers to peak torque.
@@kingprone7846the other 200 hp is the generator motor which doesnt really add that hp to the acceleration
0:33 that mustand pulled off the line early,,, wtf
Charger stadium
San Diego
need a driver mod, 400hp and 960torque, didn't even tap into what was available
OMG I think I'll not buy a Karma anymore dayumn... that's hilarious and that for 150000 $ *OH HELL NO*
150k? Thats a 32k car. Fiskars are 25-55k cars.
Yeah that's sad lol looks more like a Sunday cruiser
They look really nice but I guess they’re pretty slow
Your guess would be wrong..I have one and there not slow at all..it’s a luxury sports car so it’s not 0-60 fast …it’s like a jet or plane when it takes off
o Karma é mto lento hehe
Poor execution of an electric car...taking into account the price...has the performance of $18K car......
richardriver true they rushed production and the new Karma is better but not perfect. But for around $30k used it would be kool to have. Kooler than some $18k car.
smh..I was gona buy 1 (in 5yrs) but now...nope!
sllllooooowwww!! yep cheaper Tesla model s ftw ..
150000€ hahahaha
This is COMPLETEY embarrassing. ESPECIALLY when the cheaper Telsa Model S (new electric car) is faster than a BMW M5. I knew the Fisker was all about looks. It doesnt deliver and it SHOULD being that it has instantaneous torque from its electric motor. Omg, I'm still embarrassed for that man. *logs off*
the fisker karma was never fast. 6s 0 to 60.
Not quite fisker karma just filed for bankruptcy
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now go charge your batteries..man that thing is a real turd...
it only had a small battery. it uses a huge generator powered by a 2L turbopetrol engine.
Not very fast it seems for the money
Just sad 🤦♂️🤦♂️
🤭 POS... that's why the price is around 30k but it should be 20k and swapped with a v8 or v10
Its possible to swap for what engine?
Man I can jog quicker than the fisker! Bro I can walk faster than that fisker ! Dude I can crawl faster than that expensive piece of trash 🗑 📄 💩
