Like a Chevy Volt Coupe with 403 hp / 960 lb-ft, half the efficiency, and a tenth of the practicality. This and the Aston Martin Rapide are the only “true” four-door coupes out there, everything else is just a sedan. This is the car that had Stealth Mode before any Mustang, 32 miles of electric range, and is a great conversation starter.
Also note that the Karma does have a 2.0L turbo ecotec engine which means that the range extender is actually usuable on its own unlike the BMW i3.
I think !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is a good deal with 38,693 miles listing at $35,990.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with 60,047 miles (which is like 100,000-120,000 miles on a regular car), was just listed at $32,980. You could walk out spending $28,500 without much hassle.
However, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with an astounding 74,000 miles is listed at $29,777. This is when you start getting into the questionable car purchase range of an eccentric’s dreams.
For those that don’t know, Fiskers don’t make a noise when they start up...err, wait, that’s a line from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Fiskers have a very unique sound to make sure pedestrians hear them coming.

They are pretty cool in person. If I was rich I would swap in a Maserati GT engine, sounds lovely. Then gut all the electric crap saving weight. Maybe keep a battery for the roof to recharge the AC? Just for fun.

IMO these cars are aging very poorly, and to add to that they weren’t known for their build quality to begin with.

They really are a strikingly beautiful car.

Given that the gas mechanicals are all GM that part should be easy to find someone to work on.
If it was possible to find someone to maintain the proprietary bits I would truly consider one assuming the prices keep coming down.

I absolutely love this car. Its appeal hasn’t faded for me in the least over the years.
sm70- why not Duesenberg?

If I had a more reliable gas car also in my garage I’d be tempted to take the plunge.

I always have liked these. I prefer the ways they look the the boring teslas.

I want one...so I can LFX or LS swap it. I’m feeling LS3 E-Rod for this one.

Y’all know why these look so good?
Factory 22" wheels on a car the same height as my MR2.
Fisker refused to cheap out on wheels (even on base models), and was able to nail the wheel-to-body ratio on this car.

That is the worst electric car noise I have ever heard. A while ago Nissan did a thing where it sounded like singing and it was actually quite cool, but hearing this on a dark road at night would make me jump into a bush.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles
