The 2011 Fisker Karma

The ever famous Aston Martin designer Henrik Fisker was the man behind the new Karma model 2011; this will have a great dual electronic motor powered plug in hybrid system.  There also comes with the Q Drive system which actually gets the rear wheels moving.

It is a really luxury car even though this is an environmental type of car; the man behind all of the Karma really wanted to bring a lower priced car.

With the Karma is will have a great lithium Ion battery that the car can work on with its electric powered engine however once the battery loses life, the turbocharged four cylinder 2.0 liter engine can repower the batter and almost take over from it.

The design however really does have the configuration of the Chevy Volt which can cover almost three hundred miles but it uses very little fuel which is good and even the emissions are very low.  That is great in fact and something which not a lot of car manufacturers can say will happen.

This new Karma is going to have the option over the sport mode which has a massive four hundred and three horsepower that comes with the Q Drive system.  This means that the car can go from zero right through to sixty mph within six seconds.  The batter can even be charged up within a few hour period also.

The car looks like a sedan though it will also have transmission of a single speed reduction gearbox with the model of a convertible coupe and a sedan.  It will also have the engine of a dual electric rear motor; it will be a turbocharged I-4 2.0 liter combination.

Everything single thing from this new Karma 2011 model will actually be completely new; the car is going to have a complete new feel and style to the car.  The car is going to be completed redesigned by the Valmet Automotive company.

The exterior of the car is going to be a lot longer but lower and sleeker looking; it looks like a sedan but also has a few coupe styles to the car.  This will have the Cheshire cat grille which is quite appealing as this doesn’t make the car look stupid in any way.  There will be big wheels to deal with however but still they are nice.

The interior of the Karma has got a great feel to the car but there are not as many controls as there is with a lot of other cars out there which means that it is simple to work the car perfectly.

There is now the simple to use the entertainment system as well as the in dash navigation system also.  There will be a great feel of luxury with the leather seating though not everything has been listed as yet.

The Fisker Karma has a great amount of horsepower with the Q Drive power train of almost four hundred and three and if the Sport mode has been added to this car then it is going to be that it can reach almost sixty miles per hour in less than six seconds.

The battery can also charge up within six hours or even less though the time might vary however depending on the connection being used. There is also the Stealth mode, which is the energy saving mode on the default setting but the performance is not as great when it comes to the efficiency.
The power is going to be coming from a good lithium Ion battery which means that there can be a massive one hundred and eighty Kilo watts of peak electric power for this car.  With the amount of horsepower that comes with the car will be almost two hundred and sixty horsepower with the turbocharged four cylinder 2.0 liter engine.  The engine actually acts something like an electric generator once the battery that is being used depletes after fifty or so miles.

With the safety features of this car, then the specifications are not exactly known as yet which is not as good because no-one really knows a lot about this.  The Karma however should have the basics with this car such as the front airbags and the electronic stability control for the passenger and the driver.  There is not a lot else known about this car however so it is a little disappointing.
When it comes to the fuel economy then it doesn’t have anything really reported for this which is not as great because no-one can actually know about this part.  However the numbers should be in soon enough.
