Finally a success for the Fisker electric car!

And to think, all they had to do was dump the electric powertrain and drop a V8 from a Corvette into it!

So...Fisker has gone fossil-fueled?

Are fart-sniffing eco-tards keeling over in horror?!   ::praying::   ::whoohoo::

Fisker itself,  no.   Its off to bankruptcy and likely liquidation.    Its another company picking up leftover Karma's to convert into real sports sedans.    The car does look like its fast,  now you can get one that actually is! 

 They hope to be able to get other parts intended for Karma's.    The are also willing to convert existing Karma's as well (BYOK).   Fisker itself hasn't actually built a car for a number of years now,  go figure............ 

The Karma's are actually beautiful cars.   They are only handicapped by the electric powertrain and the lame name.     Fisker,  had they been smarter,  should have offered this option all along.   It could have bought them more time by appealing to a wider market.  They did have a nice car body design to begin with, unlike most "alternative" vehicles which universally seem to be ugly as sin. 

The will likely sell out faster.......
