Top 20 green cars we wish we could buy today, Number 2: Fisker Karma

It's a bit ironic that the Tesla WhiteStar sedan and the Fisker Karma grace our list back-to-back as the number two and three most exciting green cars we wish we could buy today. As you're probably aware, news has surfaced that Henrik Fisker was tasked with the design of a Tesla product before being dismissed from the project. Depending on which side you believe, Fisker then either stole Tesla know-how or salvaged his work by introducing his own electric sedan, the Karma. Either way, we think the design of the Karma is amazing and hope that it does in fact see the light of day.

Fisker Karma now appearing in dark blue

Someone over at Fisker Automotive has been having fun with Photoshop. In the company's gallery of images for the Karma we see the sleek and "sexy" hybrid in a dark blue on some sort of rocky seashore. Very nice. There are also some actual close-up photos of the Karma taken by photographer Robert Kerian. The images are, I think, to accompany the Karma's debut in the April 2008 edition of the Robb Report Collection (pr after the break). The Robb Report is that glossy fantasy magazine that lusts after luxury items, so I guess this makes the Karma now officially drool-worthy. There's no new information about this 100 mpge PHEV, but at least we have something new to drool on look at. Check things out over at the Fisker Automotive website or in the gallery below.

Detroit 2008 Preview: Fisker hybrid revealed!

Porsche will have a hybrid version of their new Panamera coming some time later in 2009 or 2010 but so far from the spy photos most people aren't too excited about the styling. For those in the market for big buck, curvy hybrid, Henrick Fisker is coming to the rescue. We recently saw a sketch of the new Fisker hybrid and now a proper photo has turned up and it looks very promising. Fisker is teaming up with Quantum Technologies to build this car with a new plug-in hybrid drivetrain. We'll be seeing this car in the flesh at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Finally: take a look at Fisker's hybrid

We've been bringing you news about Fisker's upcoming plug-in hybrid car since all we had to go on was the teaser site. We expected the car to be attractive, and the first photo does not disappoint. We still face a distinct lack of details on the vehicle's specifications, but we can see in the picture the outline of a slinky sedan shell with overtly sporty dimensions. Notice the long hood and short deck design as well as the flaring wheel arches. Looks great to our eyes.

Expect the Fisker to make its debut in January in Detroit. Green car consumers should some day soon have their choice between this larger sedan and the smaller, sportier Tesla Roadster. It's a good time to have a hundred grand burning a hold in your pocket...

More details on Fisker's upcoming hybrid

Posted Sep 29th 2007 at 4:52PM by Jeremy Korzeniewski

If you are in the market for a plug-in hybrid sedan, and you've got at least 80 grand to spend on it... have we got good news for you! As we shared with our readers a while back, coachbuilder Fisker is planning to show off a new unique hybrid model at the next Detroit Auto Show this January. While we unfortunately still don't have any photos to show you, we are expecting the car to be quite a looker, based on other vehicles that Fisker has rolled out. Too bad the low-volumes that we expect this car will sell at are not likely to make a big dent in the cost of the technology. Oh well, we are all excited to hear about the Volt's likely production status, and the Fisker should be on the radar for those who like the technology but would never be caught dead driving a Chevy.
