Both the Karma Invictus and the Karma Revero are based on the design of the Fisker Karma, which debuted nearly 14 years ago. In this new limited edition sedan, Karma has gone all out with carbon fiber, using it for the hood, roof, trunk and front fenders. They've even added functional vents to those fenders. The grille, side skirts, rear spoiler, and diffuser are all carbon fiber too.
To complete the look, the Invictus sports black badging, 21-inch aluminum wheels, and wider Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Inside, you'll find heated and ventilated front seats with a pattern that nods to New York's Chrysler Building. This art deco theme carries over to the door panels and center console.
Under the hood, the Invictus keeps the Revero's range-extended electric powertrain. It pairs a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine with a 28 kWh battery pack and two electric motors. The result? A combined output of 536 hp and 550 lb-ft (745 Nm) of torque. Karma claims the Invictus can go 80 miles (129 km) on electric power alone.
The Invictus shaves half a second off the Revero's 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time, clocking in at 3.97 seconds. This improvement likely comes from weight savings and better traction.
Karma's also upgraded the chassis with Ohlins coil-overs and Swift springs. They say these changes make the steering more direct and precise, improve grip, and help the car handle uneven roads better.
Karma hasn't spilled the beans on pricing or when the Invictus will hit the streets. The company's been pretty quiet lately, so it'll be interesting to see how the Invictus performs in the real world.
