Fisker has promised that the production version of its Karma would be unveiled at the International Auto Show to be held in Detroit early next year. From the first prototype, the production version has put on minor design changes, larger grille side-vent exhaust for the combustion engine and a flush-mounted B-pillar to enable it with better safety features. Fisker’s Karma is powered by a hybrid 2-liter, 4 cylinder engine along with 22.6 kWh Li-Ion battery which gives it enough power to race from 0-60 in 5.8 seconds. Karma tops off at 125 mph and has a range of about 50 miles. The car that will be showcased in Detroit is priced at $87,900 and will be delivered starting November 2009!
