Karma Automotive Shows Sleek Kaveya Coupe, Outlines Future Plans

  • Karma Automotive, birthed from the 2013 bankruptcy of Fisker Automotive, has revealed its future plans, which include the Kaveya coupe.
  • This sensuous two-door will make up to 1000 horsepower and travel at least 250 miles on a charge when it arrives in 2025, Karma claims.
  • The company is also planning a revised version of its Revero range-extender hybrid and a new electric sedan called Gyesera.

Henrik Fisker—the former BMW, Ford, and Aston Martin designer—returned with his second eponymous company this year, delivering the first examples of the electric Fisker Ocean SUV. But his original dream, the Karma sedan, lived on after Fisker Automotive went bankrupt in 2013. Dubbed the Karma Revero, the slinky sedan has been sold in minuscule numbers by California-based and Chinese-owned Karma Automotive since 2017, refreshed and renamed the GS-6 in 2021. Now Karma has revealed the eye-catching Kaveya coupe, which will lead the company's three-pronged plan for surviving through the 2020s.

Unveiled in Las Vegas over the weekend, the Kaveya is undoubtedly a stunning machine. Measuring 187.7 inches from bumper to bumper, it's a tad lengthier than an Aston Martin DB12, although its 107.0-inch wheelbase is about three inches shorter. Karma estimates a curb weight of 5300 pounds, with an aluminum space frame draped in carbon-fiber body panels. The bodywork is smooth and glossy, with thin headlights and taillights and subtle slashes that serve as cooling vents and aerodynamic channels.

Two versions of the Kaveya are planned: a rear-wheel-drive, 536-hp base model and an all-wheel-drive, 1000-hp variant. That version will have 1270 pound-feet of torque, with a target run to 60 mph in less than 3.0 seconds and a top speed over 180 mph. The 120.0-kWh battery will provide a claimed range of more than 250 miles and recharging from 10 to 80 percent will take 45 minutes. Karma didn't specify which version was shown in these images. The 536-hp model is due out in the fourth quarter of 2025, while Karma is aiming for the fourth quarter of 2026 for the more powerful Kaveya.

Karma also teased two other models on the horizon. The GS-6 will go back to being called the Revero, and the only
