The 2010 Karma - world's first true premium plug-in hybrid sports sedan – is beautiful; like a jet engine spooling up. The Karma features two operating modes - Stealth Mode and Sport Mode. In electric only Stealth Mode, users can drive emission free for up to 50 miles on a full electric charge. Once the 50 mile electric range has been exceeded, the car operates as a normal hybrid vehicle. This balance of electric and gas range makes it entirely possible that Karma drivers who charge their car overnight and commute less than 50 miles a day will achieve an average fuel economy of 100 mpg (2.4L/100km) per year. For distances of up to 300 miles, users can choose Sport Mode, which relies on a small gasoline engine to turn the generator that charges the lithium ion battery pack. Karmas are scheduled to ship late 2009.

Developed exclusively for Fisker Automotive by Quantum Technologies, the world’s first eco-chic cars created in equally eco-friendly facilities, the Karma’s dramatic proportions and sumptuous design offer smile-inducing performance. And the interior lets four people and luggage travel in comfort. No emissions. No compromise.
Environmentalism has never been more beautifully infused with elegance and style. Designer Henrik Fisker has taken the automotive hybrid to a new level of performance and style. With no compromise in either category.
