Karma Ahead: Docs Preview Karma's Future
Remember Fisker, which eventually became Karma? Well, the company is still kickin’, and a document made its way to a forum run by our parent company that suggests the company has several vehicles planned for over the next few years. Including, possibly, a pickup truck.
VIN decoding shows that five product lines are planned: Revero GT, 1 Series, 6 Series, 8 Series, and High Performance.
Potential engines include a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a 1.5-liter three-cylinder, a new engine that’s listed as TBD, and a battery-electric powertrain. Drivetrain layouts of front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive are all possible, depending on application.
Several body types are listed: Sedan, coupe, convertible, multi-purpose vehicle (two different MPVs), wagon, and truck. The two different MPVs could be a crossover and an SUV.
Model years covered are from 2021 to 2027, so it’s unlikely all these models would launch in model-year 2021. Especially given Karma’s relatively small size.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Run - don't walk - away from this brand.
*Hypothetical* future.
More staying power than Elio, confirming the go big or go home approach works best in speculative ventures.
Their fires were caused by overheated engine exhaust plumbing, not the lithium batteries themselves. This doesn't inspire confidence in their engineering.
