History & DescriptionThe Fisker Karma is something unique and brand new.This car is incredibly exciting. It really is a breath of fresh air in an automotive industry that has gone stale. Just look at the lines of the Fisker Karma and check out its unique curves. Its aggressive nose, and the silhouette that have people swooning when and wherever they see this car. Does the nose remind you of an exotic 2 seater super car? It should! The designer of the Fisker Karma also designed the BMW Z8 featured in the James Bond movie,"The World is not enough"in 1999. Henrik Fisker is a Danish born designer and entrepreneur born in 1963. A few of his design accomplishments include, the BMW Z8, Aston Martin DB9 and the Vantage V8, BMW'S 1st SUV, the X5, The Karma-Fisker, the world's 1stpremium plug-in hybird and the Benetti-Fisker 50 meter SuperYacht.Fisker was awarded Time Magazine's 50 best inventions in 2011 and People's award in 2015 as "World's 1st Premium plug-in hybird.Electric power and gasoline powered drive trainTwin electric engines with 402 HP and 960 foot pounds of Torque drive the rear wheels. Under the hood is a GM built 2.0 Liter, 260HP gasoline that comes on automaticallyto run the generator that charges the electric battery.Further charging is supplied through the unique roof solar panels andfrom regenerative power supplied while braking the vehicle.Located on the steering wheel is a lever that will automaticallylightly apply the brakes as if you were going down a hill and when appliedyou will see on the large panel a sign indicating "Hill Mode"You can drive the car in either "Sport" mode or "Stealth" mode. TransmissionYou will never hear or feel this car shift as it is one seamless gear for both Drive and reverse. To really appreciate the beauty and function of this car you must seeit in person and drive this car. OWNER'S MANUALSIncluded are the owner's manuals and nice leather pouch they came in TIRESOn Friday, January 18th, 2019 we had a brand new set of Goodyear Eagle 1 tires installed & balanced. The tires on the car were the originals and we replaced them with the same original equipment tires. This is the future of the auto industry...and it's here today at aprice UNDER $40,000! It looks and drives as new. The Karma Fisker represents something more than a car, it is a way of life. Its unique hybrid drivetrain to the solar roof, this car was built on inspiration, it was built on ideas, and it was built far away from the tired and old concepts that have been pumped out by the auto industry time and time again. These cars are true modern works of "mechanical art". HANDLINGHandling is a subject we can address with confidence. The Karma’s steering is endowed with real road feel and linear turn-in response. The ride is supple, and there’s minimal body roll when you fling the wheel; the low-mounted, 600-pound battery pack makes for an effective keel. Even though the rear wheels carry 53 percent of the Karma’s mass, there’s understeer awaiting those who visit the borderlands of grip. The brakes are calibrated to convert excess momentum into the maximum amount of charging energy without inflicting pedal weirdness. INTERIOR Considering its low-slung and curvaceous flanks, the Karma provides surprisingly easy entry and cozy accommodations for four grown-ups. A 10.2-inch screen replaces the usual forest of tiny infotainment buttons with audible, visual, and tactile responses to touch commands. Trim is a cut or two above the $130,000 norm, thanks to fine detailing and lovely custom touches. TheSport edition is an animal-free showcase of high-end textiles, faux suede, and rescued California wildfire hardwood.The interior trim is made from real reclaimed wood giving each interior its own history and personality. Every car is the result of hours upon hours of precision craftsmanship and care. The Fisker Karma isn’t like any other car on the road. With the styling of an exotic, a drivetrain of the future, and four doors like a luxury sedan, the Fisker Karma is in a class all to itself. Between 2011 thru 2012 Fisker built almost 2000 cars....unfortunately nearly 400 cars were destroyed while sitting on the docksin Newark, N.J. by Hurricane Sandy. FINANCIAL WOES BUT WITH AN EVENTUAL HAPPY ENDING Facing serious financial problems, Henrik Fisker resigned as CEO in March of 2013 and the assets were sold toChina's largest supplier of automotive parts, Wanxiang for $149.2 million dollars. In September of 2015 the Company was renamedKarma Automotive and the Fisker-Karma was renamed the Karma-Revero in 2016.The manufacturing plant was moved to California where production resumed in 2018.Over a year ago Karma listed 17 dealerships in North America, 14 in the U.S. and 3 in Canada.Two of the franchise Karma dealers are here in South Florida, one in North Miami Beachand the other is in West Palm Beach. Many of the parts used on the Fisker-Karma and theKarma-Revero are interchangeable and any Karma dealer will be happy to service a Fisker-Karma.The U.S. department of energy reported that Fisker had spent $1.3 billion in taxpayer and venture capital money, or $660,000 for each car it sold. Starting and driving the Fisker-Karma can be described in two words-PURE JOY!Under the hood, the Fisker looks like a conventional car, with a GM-sourced 260-hp direct-injection turbo four tucked in. But this portion of the powertrain terminates at the generator, a place where you’d usually see a torque converter. Even the exhaust exits in front of the cabin.Inside, the dashboard cowl mimics the hood’s salacious curves, and faux suede or eco-conscious leather covers nearly every surface. A pyramid-shaped nodule in the center console serves as the push-button gear selector. A pedestrian-warning sound warbles, flying-saucer style, outside the car.At startup, the Fisker rolls in all-electric stealth mode. Pull the left steering-wheel paddle to engage sport mode, which fires up the engine to provide juice to the twin rear motors, providing a total of 402 horsepower. Zero to 60 comes in a fleet 5.9 seconds. quarter-mile in 14 seconds.The Fisker Karma weighs 5383 pounds, 442 more than a Porsche Cayenne S. The Fisker stops and turns like a sports sedan with a 170-foot 70-to-0-mph braking performance, 0.89 g of cornering grip, and a 43-mph trip through our slalom test—nearly as fast as a BMW M5.The batteries lower the center of gravity to 18.5 inches, aiding in the Karma’s flat cornering attitude. There’s a solidity to the chassis. You feel the road-hugging weight from the driver’s seat. The Fisker crests hills like it’s trying to drive through them, without any apparent float; road imperfections are only manifest through the steering wheel.In the front seats, the Karma provides comfort to outlast the 300-mile driving range. Its complexity and pure-EV capability make the Karma unique, and its EV-mode efficiency has no equal among luxury cars, The Fisker has keyless ignitionOnly 1 out of 3 buyers wants to use the Ebay process which is very safe but themajority of car collectors don't want anyone else to know what they paid for a car.
