Karma Automotive has just revealed that the first Karma Revero plug-in hybrids have come off the production line. The Revero is a reborn Fisker Karma. Fisker Automotive declared bankruptcy in 2013, shortly after releasing its first model, the luxury plug-in hybrid Karma. The new Karma Automotive is relaunching that model, albeit with a few small tweaks. The innfotainment center has been given a significant upgrade and the powetrain has been upgraded.
On electricity alone the Karma Revero can run for 50 miles, and with its gas engine acting as a generator it has a max range of 300 miles. That's not bad for a car that can do 0-60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. The Karma Revero has a starting price tag of $130,000. There was no word on how many models rolled off the line. There are 10 dealerships across the U.S. that will sell the Karma Revero, so production will be limited.
