That's Karma For Ya!

The 2009 Fisker-Karma Breaks Cover.
I Found this on CarBodyDesign.com

New information and images on the Fisker Karma, the premium plug-in hybrid sedan that will debut at the Detroit Motor Show and will go on sale in 2009. The production version has a design very close to the original concept.

Compared to the Karma Concept unveiled at the 2008 Detroit Motor Show, the production model has a slightly different upper grille and a larger lower air intake.



The exhaust tail pipe will be located just behind the front wheels.
The Karma will adopt General Motors' 2.0 liter four cylinder turbocharged unit, combined with a 23 KW electric motor. The car structure is an aluminum space frame developed in partnership with Horsk Hydro and combined with a mix of aluminum and composite panels. According to Fisker, The Karma sedan - which has a base price of $87,900 - has already been sold out until mid-2010. The production version of the Karma will make its debut at the 2009 Detroit Motor Show.


This is One Spectacular Looking Hybrid Electric Car!

"The exhaust tail pipe will be located just behind the front wheels"

I'm pretty sure this isn't allowed in the US, I don't care how clean the car is, but the website pictures at http://www.fiskerautomotive.com seem to indicate they solved this issue.

But yes, very pretty car.

The Mercedes SLR has the exhaust behind the front wheels.

The Karma is a great looking car. I'd bet it is a blast to drive!

It took me a while to chop these back together from their Explore Section on the web site. It had little Tabs to Click that I had to remove. But I think It Was Worth the Effort. Interesting fact I found on the website, The Karma is the Worlds Lowest Production 4 Door Sedan Ever Built. Also it has a Solar Panel Optional for the Roof Section that you can't see here but this is the one from the Concept.

If you are talking about the Pic's of the Blue Car, that was the Concept. The Silver one I posted at the beginning of this thread is the Production Model that Bows In Detroit. Next Month.
