There is a lot of buzz about the Volt, General Motors' $41,000 plug-in hybrid car. But do you know there is also another plug-in hybrid which is quietly making its way to the forefront?


Palm Beach Motor Cars is currently receiving deposits for the Fisker Karma hybrid, the newest luxury hybrid on the market. Ryan Moore, Fisker brand manager for Palm Beach Motor Cars in West Palm Beach, feels upbeat about this newest model and says many Karma customers may choose this brand new car and give up costly cars like BMW 7-Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Other dealers have also noticed a growing demand for Fisker Karma.

The Fisker Karma sports a sleek, sensuous style similar to Aston Martin and is actually a premium version of the Volt. Powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine comprising a pair of electric motors rated at 403 horsepower, the Karma is anticipated to deliver 50 miles on battery power alone before the gasoline-powered engine kicks in.

The Fisker Karma is the brainchild of Henrik Fisker, a Denmark native and former BMW top designer. He has also worked for Tesla, manufacturer of the pure-electric sports car and the Aston-Martin DB9 and Vantage.

Moore believes the green aspect appeals to customers and expects that they may plan to use the Karma as their daily means of transportation. The Karma plugs into your electrical outlet when you get home, giving the batteries more range than regular hybrids such as the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight.
