Fisker to spread Karma across the pond
Hot on the heels of news that Tesla will sell its Roadster EV in Europe, Fisker has announced plans to ship its Karma plug-in hybrid there as well. The company anticipates a production volume of some 15,000 units a year, around half of which will go to Europe, starting late next year.
The "luxury sports sedan" boasts a hybrid power-train and a space-age roof with an integrated solar panel. Fisker claims performance figures of 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds and a top speed of around 125 mph.
Although the four-seater Karma will sell for $80,000 in the U.S., there is speculation that Danish-born CEO Henrik Fisker is planning on a higher price tag in Europe, perhaps as much as €90,000.
It seems that the weak dollar may continue to prove good news for U.S. car companies and bad news for many European consumers.
