Re: Fisker Karma shows the world what they can do at Laguna Seca

Seems loud to me in the video. There also seems to be some tire noise. I may be wrong but I hope Volt does not sound like what I heard in the video. I must say however that Fisker has done an extraordinary job with this very sexy looking car.

Is it just me or does it look like a sweet car wearing a Guy Fawkes mask?

Re: Fisker Karma shows the world what they can do at Laguna Seca

Hmm, that looks alot like GM wiper stalk and power mirror switches. I would feel kind of proud to have GM components in such a nice vehicle. After all, if the Turbo Ecotec is good enough for a ground-breaking $89,000 semi-exotic...

I like a V8 too, but will take the electric wine over the coffee can fart burners any day.

Re: Fisker Karma shows the world what they can do at Laguna Seca

Currently I'm just wondering how practical is it - there doesn't seem to be much rear seat room or trunk space.

Re: Fisker Karma shows the world what they can do at Laguna Seca

The front looks clumsy to me. The rest of it looks goods and I think the interior is appropriate for the style of vehicle.

Re: Fisker Karma shows the world what they can do at Laguna Seca

Cool video! Thanks and the car sounded like a jet accelerating around the road course.

I like this new Fisker better than the porsche sedan.

Half the price of the turbo porsche sedan and sexier looking too..

If I were spending 90 grand on a luxuiry sedan.. I'd have to consider the fisker if its an extended range electric like the volt..

Alas...I am not spending 90 grand on a sports sedan.. but ..I can admire the effort..

Very well done..IMO
