Fisker Karma high speed cars

Fisker Karma Plug-In Hybrid EV

The Fisker people say that they want to make “a range of beautiful environmentally friendly cars that make environmental sense without compromise.”
I believe no one with a green interest have missed out that the poster boy of Plug-In Hybrids Fisker Karma has , just 19 months after being presented as a concept, now been tested on a racetrack in California.

Fisker Karma Test Drive

Is it any good then? Well it seems like the Fisker People has been doing just the opposite of Toyota people with long term research and technology maturity and taken what is available today with a hell of a lot of Cell-phone batteries, a petrol driven electricity backup generator, 2 high torque 201 hp Electrical engines at the front wheels and a well paid car designer.
Add to that the most brilliant marketing team making people like me having to write about it for free…

Result: Unless the people at Fisker are superheroes there must be a lot that is far from ready in this car but it is there on the racetrack, it makes > 100 mph and it looks like the pieces are sticking together
