The
Fisker Karma sedan has been crowned ‘Luxury Car of the Year’ by BBC Top Gear magazine as well as ‘Car of the Year’ by Top Gear TV presenter, James May.
As a start-up American car company, this award is very significant for
Fisker Automotive. Top Gear is the world’s leading global automotive magazine and television show and, importantly, is based in Europe - the heart of the world’s top luxury automotive brands.
The Karma – Fisker’s first production car – is a 403 hp luxury sedan and the world’s first true electric vehicle with extended range (EVer). In addition to being a four-door four-passenger sedan with sport performance and striking sculptural design, the Karma is also one of the most efficient, low-emission vehicles available today.
The Karma combines the zeroemission efficiency of electric drive with the range and freedom of gasoline-powered cars, due to its cutting-edge EVer™ series hybrid powertrain technology, Charlie Turner, BBC Top Gear magazine editor, explained why the Karma was a worthy winner: “Cleverness abounds in the
Fisker and adds to the air of intelligent luxury. It works well, it looks good and it must be a genuinely exciting thing to own.
