The Karma from Fisker Automotive in Southern California has been much anticipated. Half family sedan, half sports car, this extended range hybrid has been one of our favorites here at Zoomilife for a long time.

Here’s video of the Karma flying around the track. Listen for the quiet growl of the motors as the controllers ramp up the juice to pour on the muscle.
