The Karma Fisker

Got hold of the latest Geek Mobile for a client. Looks really cool , just like Maserati Quattroporte.

That is until you get close to it , or inside. The body panels dont fit properly and the inside! A combination of Detroit (blegh!) materials and European quality...so , quality and crap all inside one car.

Permanent electric power , with a GM 4 cylinder powerplant producing 260BHP turning over a huge generator to juice up a LI-ION powerpack , whick in turns power the electric motor producing 400BHP to the axle. All made in good old USA. So of course reliability is shitty , the ride is sloppy , but at least it looks .

As for fuel economy...you dont get any

And for the $120 000 the client paid , Im sorry to say , its NOT a great buy. Get a Corvette if you want to go fast , for cheap.
