Customer LoginsLooking for a premium electric vehicle?
Interested in a premium vehicle? How about a premium vehicle
capable of getting 100 miles per U.S. gallon? Oh, I need to point
out the MSRP of $95,900 USD. Still with me? If so, I want you to
know about the Fisker Karma, which meets all of the above
criteria.
Debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show, the
Karma launched the premium green car segment that most major OEMs
are now pursuing. Capable of delivering a range of over 300 miles
and a top speed of 125 mph, the Karma had been delayed due to
funding issues. However, those funding challenges are now behind
Fisker Automotive and the vehicle is currently in production. In
fact, the first vehicles have just been delivered.
Which brings me to the reason for this blog. How do you determine
who receives the first vehicle off the assembly line? It appears
the Chairman of Fisker Automotive and one of its investors - Ray
Lane, Managing Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers,
shared the honor with...Leonardo di Caprio who is also a Fisker
investor and a long-time electric vehicle supporter. Here's a look
at Ray receiving the keys to a Karma - no video of Leo yet. I'll
keep watching and let you know when that becomes available.
