Fisker Hybrid

Pebble Beach 06'

The Karma

For those of you who don't know what a Fisker is, It is a car manufacturer that in the past has used two frames; one from the BMW (650) and one from the Mercedes (sl65). From that platform or power plant you can then design the interior to your specification. I first saw one of these cars at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours` de Elegance. It was certainly well appointed, but that was all I really remembered from it. Now, Fisker is introducing this new hybrid. 2 Modes of driving that allow the driver to choose between fuel economy and performance. Interesting concept. We will see how they sell. Pretty cool alternative to the Maserati Quatroport. If our friends in La Jolla get one of them I will be sure to revisit this vehicle with a road test.

Stay as un-hamster as possible gents.
