Now this is what I want! Instead of wasting a beautiful design on green technology and all that other stuff that will just catch fire, it has a proper engine!
The changes to the exterior are a huge improvement to an already great looking car .
I love how this looks but I prefer the older front facia; this looks too much like the gumpert concept and doesn't seem to fit right.
I would seriously take this over the C7. I love sports sedans and the Karma looks sexy as hell
@ Kyle...monopoly? What about all the German sport sedans, and the Lexus IS-F? Unless you just mean the American side, then you're right. Hopefully the Chevy SS will give us another choice, even if its still GM.
I didnt like the original front, this ones alot better, when did they start again cause last i read they were slightly dead because they had no batteries and couldnt find a new suplier
If you look back at most of the comment on the Fisker karma, lots of people wish it has a regular gas engine because the car itself is well designed. Clearly there is a demand and people will pay for this car to drive something that looks different.
Fisker is still building and promoting their ev/hybrids but Lutz clearly saw a market in making a beautiful ev hybrid car into a powerful 4dr sedan. I think he made the look of the car a bit subdued but looks amazing. Wish I could buy one.
Fisker isnt building anything at the moment, production is at a stand still, this one guy shoving a v8 in one, dosnt mean fisker had anything to do with the car
Our tax dollars went towards research and production of an electric vehicle. Where is that EV? Now Fisker is essentially a production facility for car bodies and one-offs like this.
Okay William since you had to call me out on it. Editing of original comment. "what did Fisker do with the $193 million dollars of government funding? They wasted it on a failed car, and instead of building an EV car, they're building bodies for
This wasnt.built by fisker, if u actually took the time to read the article instead of jumping straight to comments u would know this
So what did Fisker do with the $193 million of government funding? Oh yeah that's right, they wasted it and just stuck in a Corvette engine.
Wow someone actually listened when we asked for a karma with a powerful engine. Love the hybrid minus its teething issues but it will be nice to see this thing tear up the streets. I feel this will be one of the best looking sport sedans out there
Description: There aren't many exact details available just yet, but we do know it has the ZR1's 638 horsepower LS9 V8 instead of a small four-pot and an electric motor. It'll also supposedly be off...

They probably only offer the 4speed auto to deter people from buying it, this man clearly understands the need for manual transmissions
I think Matt Farah said the Fisker would be awesome with an LS. If not him then someone else because I know someone voiced this thought on the interwebs. It's pretty amazing that its coming to fruition,
Really a corvette engine couldnt they do better? This will be like the 10th car with that engine underneath it
The commodore and the corvette have more in common than a fisker and a corvette. At least they both have GM parts. The only thing this thing and a corvette have in common is the motor.
Really? Only a 4 speed auto trans?? That's makes no sense. ZF makes a 6 speed that will handle that power level.
@nick the only thing the commodore and corvette share is the motor.
Description: Without the Karma's battery pack and electric motor, the car's weight is reduced by 1,322 lbs. Still in its prototype phase, it'll be built in Auburn Hills, Michigan and will hopefully ...

Hopefully the price means there's a few more upgrades that haven't been released yet
Great idea. However the Karma price is around $95k, minus the extremely expensive electronics then ad affordable American muscle, how does the price jump to $180k?
That weight loss should make a huge difference to the driving dynamics and performance of this car and the V8 is the perfect choice .
I'd buy it. Metallic Black, manual transmission and the original Karma wheels back on and I'm sold.
I think best looking four door just ahead of the Aston now. That's just me tho.
Doesn't the steering wheel remind you of the dashboard of the voltron force?!?
@Noah look at the small cluster of buttons. If you look closely youll see D, N, R there. Push the button and theres your gear
where on the center console? because all i see is window locks, hazards, and door lock
There's a D, N, R on center console. Also looks like paddle shifters
Good idea, a car that looks that good shouldn't be beaten by a Volkswagen.
How it ought to be.
Great idea put a tried and true motor in a car that is an electrical nightmare . Sure hope they change all the wiring and electronic before selling a single one of these .
@Dan hes just using the karmas body with changes to the rest of the car and he will be selling them under a different name
I love you, Maximum Bob.
i dont understand. is this going to be a new fisker model or is this guy selling this under a different name and just using the karmas body with some changes???
Fisker sucks
Ah good for Fisker. They gave up when times were difficult and sold themselves out. Became the exact opposite thing. Who woulda thunk it? Oh well, hope these don't catch fire.
Better than those stupid batteries
