that is a car I like... but will it really go into production??? or it will be another brand, like the 2 mil dollars, 1200 hp, DiMora Natalia SLS 2, always innovating something else (sixteen cylinder engine, paint that changes from black to white depending on exterior temperature, interior technologies a.s.o)... but never launching the final product...

I'm just curious what will happen to your electricity bill... And with that price tag, only well off people will be able to afford it and it's not like they need to save on gas money =/

for those people image is important and they like to show how much they care about the "envyorement".

It's very refreshing to see car manufacturers taking the initiative, and actually attempting to market 'environment freindly' vehicles, in such an attractive package. Well done Fisker Karma, I hope other car companies follow this trend.

The car's exterior lines are venomously beautiful. Probably the most striking of any sedan. And the interior is very classy as well. I do not want to say this, since I support hybrid cars, but I wish this car had a 600-hp M5-smoking V8. It'd be even sexier.

Love the car... beautiful...Serial Hybrid Concept... amazing fuel economy at 2.35L/100km.... But I dont understand onething... why use such a massive 2.0 litre Turbocharged Engine to charge the generators??? I seriously dont think you need that much of Torque just to get your generators running... You just need RPM to increase the effiency of the generators... which can be achieved with a much smaller Engine... I believe you can even reduce the fuel consumption figures from 2.35L/100km to lets say about 1.0 L/100km...(or even less..) You can even replace the expensive Li-Ion batteries with a few Supercapacitor and reduce the overall cost of the vehicle...
