Karma Automotive recently announced the completion of the final production Revero, marking the end of an era for the vehicle that began as the Fisker Karma over a decade ago. After Fisker’s bankruptcy in 2013, the company was acquired, and the Karma was revamped into the Revero, which started production in 2016. The final Revero, celebrated with a stunning green exterior and tan interior, is an extended-range electric vehicle boasting 536 horsepower, 550 pound-feet of torque, and a range of up to 360 miles. Despite its discontinuation, the Revero’s legacy will continue with the upcoming Gyesera, which will utilize its spaceframe and battery.
The Gyesera is set to replace the Revero, featuring a new cabin and design updates while producing slightly less power. It will maintain a similar range and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds. Additionally, Karma is preparing to launch the Amaris GT Coupe, a two-seater with a turbocharged four-cylinder generator and a 41.5-kWh battery, delivering 708 horsepower and 676 pound-feet of torque. This model is expected to achieve 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, showcasing Karma’s commitment to innovation and performance in the electric vehicle market.
Karma Automotive’s resilience over nearly a decade of production is notable, especially given the initial skepticism surrounding extended-range electric vehicles when Fisker first launched. Today, the landscape has shifted, with other manufacturers like Scout, Ford, and Nissan developing their own extended-range EVs and hybrids. While interest in fully electric vehicles fluctuates, there is growing consumer interest in hybrids and EREVs, which may bode well for Karma’s future as it continues to evolve and adapt to the changing automotive industry.
