Independent green luxury automobile manufacturer Fisker Automotive has revealed its first production car, the Karma plug-in hybrid. The production example, which was designed in-house by Fisker Coachbuild (the design arm of Fisker Automotive), will debut at the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) in January.
The production version is nearly identical to its concept precursor shown at the NAIAS in Detroit almost a year ago. Built from a combination of aluminum and composite panels, the exterior design features only minor revisions, most notable of which being the exhaust outlet for the hybrid's ICE unit, located just aft of the front wheels. Other graphic enhancements include a chrome strip around the DLO, an upper grille that is now slightly larger towards the outer corners, and an enlarged lower air intake. The vehicle's overall proportions, with a long hood, low-slung roof (with integrated glass solar panel) and short rear deck, have been retained. The Karma is 4987mm long, 1984mm wide and 1330mm high. It rides on a 3160m-long wheelbase. No details on the interior have yet been released.
"I'm proud to announce at this time that we are already sold out on the car until mid-2010," said Henrik Fisker, CEO of Fisker Automotive. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in November 2009.
We'll bring you the latest, up-to-the-minute details on this and other debuts at the 2009 NAIAS when we report live from Detroit from January 11.
