The Karma won’t be available until mid-2009, at which time 15,000 cars are expected to be produced per year. If you’ve got money to burn and aren’t on Tesla’s long waiting list, it might be worth the wait. Henrik Fisker is a highly regarded designer whose previous work includes the BMW Z8 and the Aston Martin DB9 & V8 Vantage: call him James Bond’s personal car designer. With the Karma he’s achieved a sort of hard-topped cross between the Z8 and his Aston Martins that will certainly stand out on the road for its grace: a car in which a modern, green 007 would look smashing.
