fisker karma s concept

 The bad economic situation doesn't seem to be getting in the way of the plans Fisker Automotive, the boutique hybrid electric automaker. Fisker is taking advantage of its 2009 Detroit Show presence by announcing that it will roll out a concept vehicle called the Fisker Karma S alongside the $87,900 production version of its slick-looking Karma sedan.
An educated guess is that the S -- short for the Sunset on the fender -- is a convertible concept vision of the Karma.
Fisker says the Karma Concept S will generate 403 total horsepower from its two electric motors, slightly lower than the Karma's reported peak output 408 hp. We're also assuming the 2.0L turbocharged Ecotec four sourced from General Motors that produces 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque will also be on board as well. The engine doesn't send its power directly to the wheels. Instead, much like the E-REV system on GM's coming Volt, it merely serves to charge the lithium-ion battery pack of the Karma's electric drivetrain though a generator.
