Fisker Karma MPG

By  •  Published:  •  Last updated:


Fisker claims their stunning Hybrid sedan will average an amazing 67MPG!

We are talking about a car that produces over 400hp too!
Apparently, it will also allow you to drive about 50 miles with the electric motor alone.
This seems like the perfect luxury/sport sedan.
How come the “big guys” can’t come up with a car like that?

Sure, the Karma isn’t cheap, starting at $88 000.
But it is using GM’s own 2.0 Liter turbo. (Which I loved in the Solstice I drove last year).
So how come GM doesn’t come up with a true 21st Century hybrid Cadillac ?

It looks more and more like the true future of the US auto industry is in smaller companies like Fisker and Tesla.
They are the Henry Fords of the 21st Century.

  6. I modified my Hummer H1 to run on a Taco Bell fart…Can I get a huge pile of taxpayer money now?

    Save those Taco Bell receipts. Some restrictions may apply.

  9. If you just wait in a few more years, this design will pass on to Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Chyrsler and others. So if you can't afford it it'll pass on to the less expensive brands. The 2011 Kia Optima's c pillar almost looks like that just like the Grand Prix's. Just wait.

    Depends on its emission control system.

  16. Wow@ the hecklers of this car. If they get it built, this could be a huge hit.

    Lookswise, it's the Chrysler 300 concept of the early 90s and the Grand Prix of the late 90s…only sexier.

  17. Yeah only sexier. The headlights reminds me of the Chevy Corvette. If it was Korean that's what people would say.

  18. If the big guys made this their stock holders would demand it sell in large numbers. high volume means it would have to meet a whole world of US Government regulations that this one will never meet. Safety regulations alone would be enought to kill any volume production.
