Fisker was incredibly ambitious and the Karma was his attempt to challenge conventional mobility solutions. Innovative ideas such as a solar power roof were integrated into the car to provide auxiliary power. An ICE was used to charge the batteries for extended range capabilities in an effort to overcome range anxiety. It all looked very promising…
Sadly though the story was cut short before they could get into their stride. Two product recalls for its batteries, its main supplier going out of business, a hurricane and the loss of 338 vehicles and a frozen credit line all in the space of a year ultimately expedited the downward trajectory to bankruptcy.
The Karma is no longer produced by Fisker but has been resurrected by Chinese company Wanxiang and renamed the Karma Revero.
Given the choice would you buy a Karma Revero or a Tesla Model S?

I wish Fisker had taken off. I really like the styling. Unlike Tesla, I find those so boring.

Saw a few of these in person ans they are nice looking. Wish they had the opportunity to the market share. This particular one wasn't taken care of much.

Pity that for various reasons Fisker was strangled at birth - it would have been interesting to see what would happened had the survived to compete.........

This is an odd looking car in person, small cabin of a Chevy Volt but with a Flying Spur wheelbase. Rusty exhaust 2:00 to show you how little either the person selling it gives a fuck or the Collecting cars team give . Is this the best Fisker Karma or just a car they need to flog

Car has the most stupid lay out of interior I've seen for 90k car .... rear seats are a joke , the glass light bulb center console is as childish as the rest of the interior layout . Car isn't fast , does ride good , but for the $$ there are 100's of better cars cheaper or even in the same price range . The exact reason they went out of business . But IF you really want one there is another company that makes this car the bought the designs and the machinery to do it .... but this same car now costs 140k lol .... those rear bumper silver Things are not speakers lol , there is one speaker in the center of the bumper . This car is so cheaply made it's sad .
