The Karma Fisker, the first vehicle from the Karma brand. the Fisker was founded by Henrik Fisker and Bernhard Koehler. With over 51 years of combined experience in the automotive world. In 2007 the Fisker Automotive was born. The introduction of the world's first premium hybrid electric vehicle, the Karma Fisker.



The design was inspired by the muscular grace of a cheetah and the teams inspiration were also led by the understanding of the principles of order, and the harmony op opposing structures, textures and elements.



The powerplant of this machine is incredible, this beast produces 956 lb/ft instantly at 0 rpm.....The Karma EVer power management system utilizes the lithium-ion battery system in conjunction with the 2.0 liter 260 hp 4 cylinder direction injection motor, producing 0-60 in 6.3 seconds and top speed of 125 mph



This vehicle was introduced to the stable last week, it was given a few funny looks by the man of the garage the Aventador but soon enough he found his spot.



I invited Eric down to help a hand on the latest toy. We was supposed to be working on it in the morning but the mirrors decided they didnt want to open so, it was either, they picked it up and fixed it and be brought back by the end of the day, or it went in the lake :lol or traded........obviously they came running straight away, we finally started work around 10pm.



The vehicle was pretty clean when it arrived, so quick inspection soon brought out the flaws

After the wheels were taken care of a pre-rinse to knock off any debris, I promise im not using a flame thrower for the pre-rinse :chuckle:

There was some evil eyes when the Fisker first poked its head in, but soon enough it was welcomed

I really have to ask...with that nice of a garage/car collection and house/castle...what does the owner of the place do for a living? I am pretty sure I am working in the wrong industry. lol
 
Wow, that one was really beat up compared to the one I just did. Nice job on the correction. :)



Looks like that one had the eco/Peta friendly interior, alcantera seats and recycled wood. The one I did was the meat lovers interior, tons of supple dead cow! :lol



Agree about the flake in the paint, its absolutely stunning in the sun!
