ALL AUTOCARS

Besides the production version of the Karma plug-in hybrid sports saloon, Fisker pulled the wraps off a new concept model called Karma S, where "S" stands for Sunset. The car was teased by the company last week via an enigmatic photo which revealed little but stirred the imagination. Showing only a front fender and door line that appeared to resemble the Karma very closely, the lack of a B-pillar and a generally bright look to the interior hinted that the Karma S might be a convertible, and that postulation has proved true.

Featuring a folding hardtop, the Karma S is envisioned by Fisker as a logical extension of the Karma platform, offering buyers of the sport/luxury hybrid a form factor that has long been popular with enthusiasts of more conventional vehicles.

The four-seater convertible is equipped with the same clean Q-DRIVE powertrain with the Karma sedan, providing 50 emission-free miles on a single charge to its lithium-ion battery pack, and up to 403hp from two electric motors.
