Karma To Get You With The GS-6
Auto News

Karma Automotive, the back from the dead maker of luxury hybrids, is peddling its latest offering, the Karma GS-6 hybrid. Originally founded in 2008 by Henrik Fisker, with a generous loan of $500 million of federal loans, Fisker Automotive was an early prospector in the hybrid-electric luxury motoring segment. They went on to create the Karma and managed to ship 2,000 cars but they were plagued with issues and by 2014 the company declared bankruptcy. The remnants were purchased by Chinese auto-parts supplier Wanxiang Group. Now known as Karma Automotive the re-born company has been busy of late and this is their latest effort, the Karma GS-6 hybrid. The external design is unchanged from the Fisker Karma which launched in 2011. This is good because the design hasn’t aged at all.
