The Fisker Karma was the brainchild of Henrik Fisker who was responsible for some iconic car designs such as the BMW Z8 and the Aston Martin DB9.

Fisker was incredibly ambitious and the Karma was his attempt to challenge conventional mobility solutions. Innovative ideas such as a solar power roof were integrated into the car to provide auxiliary power. An ICE was used to charge the batteries for extended range capabilities in an effort to overcome range anxiety. It all looked very promising…

Sadly though the story was cut short before they could get into their stride. Two product recalls for its batteries, its main supplier going out of business, a hurricane and the loss of 338 vehicles and a frozen credit line all in the space of a year ultimately expedited the downward trajectory to bankruptcy.

The Karma is no longer produced by Fisker but has been resurrected by Chinese company Wanxiang and renamed the Karma Revero.

Given the choice would you buy a Karma Revero or a Tesla Model S?
