Fisker Karma is finally making shipping its first production models next month, three years after debuting at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. The Karma is powered by a 20kW lithium-ion battery, which sends power to two electric motors that produce 402 hp, which pushes it from 0-62 mph in 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 124 mph. It can go around 50 miles on electricity alone. When the battery is depleted, a turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol engine acts as a generator to recharge it. Thanks to this setup, the car has an overall range of 300 miles, an average fuel consumption of 98 mpg. In the U.S. pricing starts at $95,900 but the Karma is eligible for a $7,500 tax credit, so it’s really $88,400.
