But the on-and-off whine of its electric powertrain is annoying. On every Karma’s roof rests the world’s largest solar panel on a car. The Karma’s steering is endowed with real road feel and linear turn-in response. - We now have a exotic 2012 Fisker Karma Ev Er EcoSport plug in hybrid car!
Unlike the Chevrolet Volt where the gasoline engine/generator has the ability to send power directly to the wheels, the Karma’s engine works as a generator only to create electricity.
The audio system in base models is a 100-watt, 6-speaker AM/FM system with USB and auxiliary inputs (no CD player). The propulsion system, the Brembo brakes, the 22-inch cast aluminum wheels, and the aluminum suspension components are supported by an aluminum space frame stitched together with 260 feet of welds and a thousand or so rivets. Moving up to the EcoSport gains multiple exterior color options and low-pigmentation interior leather in a variety of hues, while the EcoChic has environmentally friendly suede-like material. Due to a wide tunnel/armrest that houses the Karma’s battery pack, rear seating is limited to two. The Karma’s trunk can carry a couple of small golf bags, but not much more.The Fisker Karma is available in three trims: EcoStandard, EcoSport and EcoChic, each differentiated by interior styling and exterior color.
All Karmas include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front and rear seats, 6-way power front seats, navigation and a rearview camera. A 10.2-inch screen replaces the usual forest of tiny infotainment buttons with audible, visual, and tactile responses to touch commands. The Porsche Panamera Hybrid, for instance, attains up to 30 mpg and has a starting price of around $97,000. Up front there’s a 260-hp, GM-supplied four-cylinder engine spinning a mighty generator. In this setting the Karma can hit 60 mph in about six seconds and has a top speed of 125 mph. In EcoSport and EcoChic models, the audio system is 295 watts and has eight speakers. Even though the rear wheels carry 53 percent of the Karma’s mass, there’s understeer awaiting those who visit the borderlands of grip. Until the EPA weighs in on that subject, we can only guess that the Karma will land slightly below the Volt’s ratings of 93 equivalent mpg (MPGe) in electric driving and 35 mpg city and 40 highway with the engine running.As for sustainability, in the Karma it means consuming no petroleum for the first 50 miles and interior trim that bows to Mother Nature.
But the physics conspire against it keeping pace with other $100K sports sedans. On the heels of the low-volume, $100,000 Karma, there will be a more affordable car, the Nina, also built around earth-friendly technology.
Tug a steering-wheel-mounted paddle for Sport mode, and the gasoline engine/generator kicks on to provide additional power.
