2010 Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid sports car
Fisker Automotive, Inc., the new American manufacturer of premium green automobiles, unveiled its first production car — the 2010 Fisker Karma. With a starting price of $87900 ($80400 after US government tax credits), 1000 orders for the 100 mile-per-gallon luxury plug-in hybrid have been received since the prototype debuted at the 2008 NAIAS.
The interesting thing is I just read that he (Fisker) re-adjusted the estimated mpg to 67.2, which is also exactly the average world life expectancy of a human.
I like the solar panel roof concept. The cars coming out today, with eco technology is an exciting time to be around. I wonder how Mini Cooper is going to respond now? I wish they would start developing their efficiency designs now.
Awesome Car…When can I buy one???
@FutureStudy
Good.
Now kill yourself, stupid bitch.
I will pass fag with a pink profile and no class.
@FutureStudy
just kill yourself, stupid cunt.
this is coming from someone with a pink profile. lol. You have no education, and you have no class, so you would not know quality when it hits you in the face. Your idea of bling bling is a White Lambo like the rest of the dumb rappers.
get lost, idiot
that’s what your mom said about you when you came out, looks like crap!
Eventually this technology will become affordable to everyone but you have to start with luxury products as the batteries for EVs and series hybrids are very expensive due to low volume manufacturing volume.
Eventually in the near future we’ll see something the price of a Charger or Camaro.
But, we really NEED NOW electric cars to be available for all pockets, the planet cannot take it any longer.
Hopefully, a sensitive company (with this matter) will rise from the shadows to solve this need, this demand.
I wish our automotive companies would be more commited with the planet putting all these nice and green cars at everyone’s reach.
I think it a stuning car, totally green (it’s exactly what the planet needs now on these days), aerodinamic without losing interior space, great style, sporty, good gravity center, low weight, great technology.
In one word: AMAZING!!
And as always, there is a “BUT”:
THE PRICE!!
In my opinion it is still HIGH
It should be 50k at least.
But I guess this issue will be solve with time, as always.
New technologies cost more at the beggining, later they decrease in price.
Have they begun production on any of them yet?
Tesla Model S is designed to be a cross between a Jaguar XF and a Masarati Granturismo. simplistic, yet sophisticated.
@Janusha
What the hell has education anything to do with stupid cars? And why is it every moron tries to personalize fucking crap around?
Well that just makes you a really uneducated person that just dont know any better.
@Janusha
Aston Martin looks like crap. Don’t care about biased opinions of some stupid design awards.
Well… looking like an Aston isnt a bad thing. They do win design awards for every single car they make. However I dont think this looks too much like an Aston Martin.
@Janusha
Should I start ranting that this Karma is Aston Martin clone?
Tesla is better looking because its not designed by an american Its simply a slightly longer Lotus and they kept the Lotus design.
Tesla is a good looking car, but the problem I have with it is the rear is too conventional.
Fisker, too me, is more sophisticated and has more of a european sensibility in it’s design.
@f00kumofo123 …i dunno, i think tesla looks as good.
Tesla is still better looking… so there’s a tradeoff.
If i had $80,000 to buy a car this would be in my garage.
yes I like the car, but give credit when its due…the Tesla is zero gas, and that means a lot….zero versus hybrid ….gas one day will be history same as dinosaurs, whether we like it or not, so we’d better start advancing in the zero gas projects….and by the way, Tesla do 300 miles per charge, which is a lot, 0-60 miles in 4 second, that’s even faster than Ferrari…so what you talking about….both cars are cool, but I would side with tesla because of the zero gas
