Let’s just say that for a minute, everyone in this world can afford to whip out their check books and purchase a top of the line sports car. What would your requirements be? Does it have to be affordable? Imbued with cutting edge innovations? Comes with custom body kit and a special color named after your favorite cat? Or will it have environmentally friendly features that will not compromise the luxury that comes with owning a super sportscar?
If you have answered yes to the last question, then welcome to the real world. Fisker Karma, made by the environmentally sensitive team at Fisker Automotive, have decided to build just that – a car that is environmentally friendly, and one that boasts of less concession with better efficiency.
The Fisker Karma comes with revolutionary plug-in hybrid technology, cutely named “Q Drive”, and what it does, is let its small gasoline engine power the generator, which in turn charges the lithium ion battery pack, making the car run smooth as silk. This translates to the ability of allowing Fisker Karma owners to drive this car for up to 50 miles without ANY emission whatsoever! How’s that for eco-friendly? With a mere cost of only $80000, owning a truly “green” sports car will soon be a reality come 2009!
The catch? You just gotta charge this sports sedan upon returning home every evening!
