Henrik Fisker also designed the BMW Z8 and more or less the Aston DB9.(base model by Ian Callum)

Beautiful car, the Karma, but it weighs 2200kgs(4800lbs?) if I'm not mistaken(heavy batteries and stuff)

He also rebodied BMW 6ers and MB SL's under his own name. I liked the Karma four years ago, now it looks old and soft. That along with lousy mileage ratings and an interior built by 'shroomed up Smurfs make it totally forgettable. They just laid off a bunch of employees and I'd bet they've almost finished pg 231 and are about to turn the page to reveal Chapter 7! Goodbye again, Henrik.

The dealer prep facility for Bugatti, Fisker, RR, Bentley, Aston, Maserati, and McLaren is on the same road as my office and I've seen a few of these recently. Looks nice in the flesh.

Sharp vehicle. Very Maserati'ish. That being stated, I'd rather have the Maserati.

It's a good looking car, I sat in one at a dealer I stumbled upon, I could us a bit more head room, and the interior is very handmade (for better and worse), it reminds me of the Panamera, wide and low. I hope this car can be successful.

I've seen one driving around here in Irvine, which is where their corporate offices and manufacturing is (I believe). It has serious road presence. Low and wide. The lighting looks pretty amazing as well.

Saw one of these the other day driving down the road, nearly twisted my neck trying to figure out what the heck it was. Now I know!

You really mean Karma v Model S, the Roadster is super quick off the line, it would eat the Karma.
