FISKER GETTING REVIVED?
Fisker, makers of the top of the range petrol-electric sedan Karma, went dead until the Chinese owners who bought Karma Automotive recently revealed plans to revive the brand - with the Revero. Visually, it is quite similar to the Karma, albeit some cosmetic trickery including a new grille, revised headlamp components and redesigned alloys.
The interior will have a lavish assortment of 'feel good' materials and tech that will keep the repute of the predecessor. Like the Fisker Karma, the Revero will also be a four seater.
The Revero will also have a petrol-electric hybrid power train, Karma claiming a 50-mile range in electric mode alone with a full charge. However, we are intrigued about another detail - Karma might be introducing a true cordless electric car in the market. The Revero has a large roof mounted solar panel that is supposed to "generate enough energy to charge the car". However, many automakers including Toyota have tried it before, and it can only produce enough juice to power the air conditioner.
Interestingly, Karma is openly admitting that they are going head to head with Tesla. It will certainly gain an obvious advantage over Tesla if their claim of Revero being a true cordless electric car is proven right in the launching of the hyped hybrid next month.
