FISKER AUTOMOTIVE - KARMA S



You may not have heard of Fisker Automotive unless your a car freak like myself. Fisker Automotive is a green American premium sports car company with a mission to create a range of beautiful environmentally friendly cars that make environmental sense without compromise. The concept was created between two independent companies who clearly wanted to make a difference in not only the automotive industry, but to the environment as well. Fisker will be the first company in the world to have this type of a car on the road; a beautiful fast car that makes environmental sense. Initial production is anticipated to be 15,000 vehicles annually with pricing to start at $87,900.

Here's a look at the Fisker Karma. The S model ostensibly stands for sunset, as its power-operated convertible hardtop promises to give the sun’s rays an even more prominent role than just producing ancillary power (The hard-top model generates Solar Power). Despite its airy new attitude, the rest of the car remains an emblem of environmentalism. The Karma S features the same electric-hybrid Q-Drive system as the four-door Karma, in which a lithium-ion battery pack powers a pair of 201-hp electric motors. The range is 50 miles on electric power alone, at which point a 2-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine generates juice for the batteries.
