The Fisker Karma is a plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan that was produced by Fisker Automotive in 2011–2012. The cars were manufactured at Valmet Automotive in FinlandThe United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rated the Karma's combined city/highway fuel economy at 52 mpg-US (4.5 L/100 km; 62 mpg-imp) equivalent (MPG-e) in all-electric mode, and at 20 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg-imp) in gasoline-only mode. EPA's official all-electric range is 32 mi (51 km).Due to the very small cabin interior volume, the EPA rated the Fisker Karma as a subcompact.

After missing its initial late 2009 launch, and after the launch was rescheduled several times, the first deliveries took place in the U.S. in late July 2011,[8][9][10] and deliveries to retail customers began in November 2011. Since December 2011 pricing in the U.S. starts at US$102,000 for the basic model, and US$116,000 for the top model. Around 1,800 units were delivered in North America and Europe through December 2012.

Production was suspended in November 2012 due to financial difficulties,with about 2,450 Karmas built since 2011. After furloughing its US workers in late March 2013,Fisker has hired a law firm to prepare for a possible bankruptcy.
