Design & Inspiration

Philosophy
Our design philosophy emphasizes that unrivaled purity translates to every element of the Fisker.
Q-Drive Technology
The Karma is powered by Quantum Technologies' Q-Drive technology, an innovative petrol engine/ electric motor combination; Q-Drive is a series hybrid system meaning that the engine is mated with a generator to provide an electrical connection to the motors and also recharge the batteries and as such the electric motors are the only mechanical driving force connected to the wheels.
