The Fisker karma, is the first electric-powered luxury sedan with sports character on the way. The integrated gasoline engine serves as ranges can. We asked the Stromer to the first test drive.
Matured under the California Sun, is now the first serial hybrid in the premium segment may in full bloom. After only 37-monatiger development, the Fisker Karma buzzing officially to the dealers. Six chosen will be it in Germany, which purchase the very sexy drawn four starting at 101.800 euro. This is the flat sport sedan in the price to get in close contact with the established automotive nobility.
"Porsche Panamera also BMW were or benchmark in the development for us 7", outlines company and designer Henrik Fisker proud the alignment of the four-door sedan. A noble goal that only slightly missed the Fisker karma in the space. His technically well-made interior is somewhat close, sporting, but not too short cut. He is also well out, and with all convenience, he calms even the ecological conscience. The wood for the cockpit-inlaid were fished from the Lake Michigan, well contoured seats with soy-based organic fibres from expansion.
The easy-to-read Central display of Fisker Karma remains faithful to the high tech, has a plausible menu structure. Touch it surfing is from radio air conditioning and navigation system up to to the schema representation of the flow of power.
The source for this is in 275 kilograms heavy lithium-ion battery, which lies in the Fisker karma under the long, circular Center tunnel. 20 kWh are ready, that supply the two 150 kW strong electric motors and which, via mechanical limited slip differential combines, press a maximum torque of 1,330 nm to the rear wheels. The Karma not tear up so the asphalt.
Despite the aluminium structure is no lightweight with its specified 2,200 kilograms. But athletic talented, show what the 7.9 seconds for the Sprint to 100 km/h and 153 km/h top. Mind you in stealth-mode, in which the Fisker Karma electric far surrt, only by the soft Brummeln of four external speakers accompanied acoustic unmasked the Karma for pedestrians. Finally, it can ever be that the Hecktriebler very quickly comes around the corner. He has the technical knowledge for this.
His balanced weight balance, the deep focus, and the direct, release high steering actually help the Fisker karma to a convincing agility with much potential for driving fun. While the Hecktriebler bought the driving dynamics is not by a knochentrockenes chassis. Despite the huge wheels (22 inches), he convinced with good comfort. The practical value of the lets Stromer also cannot. His more manageable trunk dragging at least the mandatory two golf bags with aims.
But what if the 18 hole outside the E range of 80 kilometers? Then karma in the game brings, such as in the strong by steering wheel paddle of dial-up sports mode, the 260 HP four cylinder turbo engine of Fisker. With the rest, it is now over, because the GM engine something grobschlachtig aufheult. But he fulfilled its purpose as a range extender, stretches the range to for 403 kilometres by juice and power he gives the electric motors via generator (175 kW). Meaning in the combination, that is the Fisker karma, at least as regards the standard measurement, with 2.4 liter on 100 km and 83 grams CO2/km to be satisfied.
It offers ecologically and sports so fun Spring feelings produced by Valmet in Finland Fisker karma. And their warranty even four years or 100,000 km long blooming.
