Accepting orders even before the sedans are on the road... I hope they understand why Tesla's in the crapper.
Just as a reminder, the sedan weighs a massive 4650lbs and runs on a turbo Ecotec I4 mated to electric drivetrain producing up to 408hp and 959lb-ft of torque with 0-60 estimated somewhere around higher 5 second range.

Apparently, the Fisker Karma S Concept is no longer just a concept. We spoke with Fisker Automotive’s public relations chief Russell Datz, who confirmed that the company is indeed taking deposits for the Fisker Karma S with deliveries expected to begin at the end of 2011.
While those interested in the Fisker Karma four-door plug-in hybrid sedan will have to make a deposit of $5,000, buyers looking for some fun in the sun with the Fisker Karma S will have to make a deposit of $25,000. How much will the drop-top Karma go for?
“No pricing announced yet – but it will likely be significantly more than the Karma sedan,” Datz told eGMCarTech in an e-mail. He also said that the first 250 units will be “specially configured” and will be “designated as first-run vehicles and perhaps numbered.”
The Karma S hard-top convertible was designed and engineered by Quantum Technologies and features the Q-Drive powertrain system that allows for 50 miles of zero-emissions driving on a single charge of its lithium-ion battery pack. It produces up to 403-hp from two electric-motors.

Meanwhile, Fisker has aired its first Karma commercial on TV just last weekend.
It also confirms the use of solar panels as power source. |
