  • Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! RUclips's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we'll take an up close and personal, in depth look at the all new 2012 Fisker Karma Ecochic.
    MSRP pricing for the Karma starts at:
    $95,900 for the ecostandard
    $103,900 for the ecosport
    and $108,900 for the ecochic
    ***Prices may vary depending on options
    During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
    FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of RUclips!

    A BIG thanks to Flow Fisker of Winston Salem, NC for allowing me to come by and film this video! For more info about this car as well as others visit www.flowfisker.com

    Fisker needs to send Gambino a nice little bonus check, 90% of the comments are about him. I had heard of Tesla, not Fisker. He did them a huge favor.

    If there is no direct drive between the engine and wheels what's the point in the turbo charger? Is it so it can spin the generator faster more quickly? I don't really understand why the engine would need the turbo if the engine was just to power a generator. I'm a mechanic of 14 years and I'm very new to hybrids.

  • @Trades46
    @Trades46 10 лет назад +13

    You have to admit Elon Musk was correct about Henrik Fisker; Mr. Fisker was a talented designer at heart, not an engineer. The Karma kind of epitomizes this fact with it's outlandish exterior & funky interior design. However, the use of space for something that's 5400lbs is frankly a joke, as is the ergonomics.
    On the other hand, Musk is a very talented engineer. He makes rockets for a living before creating Tesla, and the simplicity & flawless working of the Model S reflects this nature: The looks are nowhere near Karma's supermodel design, but it's functional, use of space is excellent & does handle well for a 4700lb car.
    I don't think I need to say who was more successful in this field to drive my point home, do I?

    • @brickstunram9391
      @brickstunram9391 7 лет назад +1

      Trades46 that's why tesla is running out of ways to finance their business, thus using reimbursable deposits from future owners to pay off loans since it's incredibly expensive to produce their cars. It's simply just a very difficult project to mass produce.

    I love the sound it makes when it drives under 25 miles per hour.

    That interior just sucks, if it gets dirty you'll have to sell the car. Lol

      Why would you need to sell a car for being dirty?

      yeah, you don't need to sell a car if it's dirt. just clean it you dumb shits

      The Walrus i don't know if you've seen a Fisher karma before dude. but, if you see how it looks once it's dirty you will change your opinion. there was no need for them to do the interior like that. worse idea ever.
