IRVINE, California – September 15, 2010:
Fisker Automotive, the California
manufacturer of elegantly designed,
premium plug-in hybrid electric
vehicles, will debut the first
factory-built Karma at the 2010 Paris
Motor Show. Fisker will also announce
details about the expansion of its
prestigious global importer network, as
well as the addition of unique images to
its game-changing international
marketing campaign.
The Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid
redefines the luxury category with
exhilarating performance, superior
comfort and unparalleled sustainability.
Designed by company co-founder, CEO and
executive design director Henrik Fisker,
the four-door, four-passenger Karma
offers luxury car buyers a truly
responsible alternative to
traditionally-powered vehicles by
combining exotic car styling with
advanced powertrain technology that
delivers better efficiency and lower
emissions than today’s best hybrids.
Mr. Fisker is responsible for designing
some of the most iconic and desirable
luxury sports cars of the modern era,
including the Aston Martin V8 Vantage,
Aston Martin DB9 and BMW Z8.
Fisker Automotive has led the auto
industry in the development of luxury
plug-in hybrids since introducing the
Karma as a concept in January 2008, just
months after the company was
established. With that introduction the
dynamic auto maker created a new market
segment and will be the first in the
world to have such a car to market.
“We had a chance to change the premium
vehicle segment with a new kind of
vehicle and a new brand that appeal to
consumers who are passionate about the
environment, and who wish to drive a
beautiful car that reflects their desire
to lead a lifestyle of responsible
luxury.” Fisker said. “We are very
excited to be introducing the first
factory-built Karma luxury plug-in
hybrid in Paris, a city known for
inspiring its own passions.”
The Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid
represents the future of the automobile.
Inspiration from nature’s harmonious
balance can be found in every element of
the car’s design for a pure, clean
styling that celebrates timeless beauty.
What’s more, the 300 kW (403 hp/408 PS)
Karma reaches 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds
and a top speed of 200 km/h, yet can
achieve an annual average economy of
2.4L/100 km (100 mpg) and emissions of
just 83g/km.
Such a stunning combination of style,
power, luxury and efficiency affirms
Fisker Automotive’s belief that fast,
beautiful cars can still be green. |
