Fisker Automotive's long awaited plug-in hybrid Karma sedan has only ever been seen in its complete production-ready form in photographs and at motor shows, but for the first time onlookers will get to see the luxury hybrid stretch its legs when it embarks on its public driving debut at this year's Monterey Historic Automobile Races, scheduled for next month’s Pebble Beach Concours D’ Elegance in California.
The mid-August date that has been set gives the Fisker Karma an amazingly quick design and construction period, with the company taking just 19 months to take the car from concept to reality. For the many auto enthusiasts looking forward to the car's debut, Fisker will also be sweetening the deal by showing off its new hardtop convertible concept, the Karma Sunset, which recently won a SEAMO award for Concept Car of the Year.
The public drive debut will see the Fisker Karma taking to the legendary 11-turn Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca course, where onlookers will see the capabilities of the two 201hp electric motors that power the car as it maneuvers around the track.
For those interested in paying the $87,500 fee for the attractive Fisker Karma, the waiting list is expected to be lengthy, with Fisker's Henrik Fisker CEO claiming that the entire production run has been sold out until mid-2010. For full details on the car's production, drivetrain and availability, check out our previous story by clicking here.
