The Fisker Karma recently made its first big debut at the North American International Auto Show. The Karma is a hybrid. It produces 403 hp from a 2.2 liter gas engine and two electric motors that that get their power from a 22 kWh lithium-ion battery or the gas engine that also acts as a generator. The power from the electric motors and gas engine gets to the wheels by a Q-Drive hybrid transmission which is supplied by Quantum Technologies. The Karma can do a surprising 0-60 mph time in 6.3 seconds and a limited top speed of 124 mph. It does that all with a weight of 5300 lbs and being able to carry four people. The electric range is 50 miles with a total range of 300 miles. When comparing it to the Tesla Model S, the Model S can go 300 miles on one charge and is purely electric. One more thing is the base price on the Karma is $95,900, the Model S base price is $49,900.
