Fisker Karma

Mighty hybrid Aston Martin Rapide rival could cost as little as £40,000

American maker Fisker is hoping its new supercar will appeal to both the head and the heart – called the Karma, the Aston Martin Rapide rival uses a rear-wheel-drive, plug-in hybrid system that’s capable of travelling 50 miles on its battery packs alone. On longer trips, a small-capacity petrol engine fires up, producing power for the electric motors. This extends the range to 620 miles. Fisker claims the Karma can return around 100mpg, yet sprint from 0-60mph in less than six seconds and hit a 125mph top speed. To give the best possible balance and handling, the battery is located low and in the middle of the car.
Even though the four-door coupé is no taller than a Porsche 911, it can carry four adults in comfort. The Karma will cost from around £40,000. Sales will start next year.
