This year marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of Karмa Autoмotiʋe. The company then discontinued the Gyesera—a facelifted version of the GSe-6, an all-electric sedan due in 2021. The GSe-6 had a design reminiscent of the outgoing Reʋero plug-in hybrid. debuted in 2016, replacing the brief Fisker Karma introduced in 2011.
But Gyesera hopes to deliver more than just a remix. Karмa President Marques McCaммon told Autoмotiʋe News that almost all the dashboards are new compared to the Reʋero. Only part of the back panel is frosted. However, the design looks familiar. The mechanism is created from a combination of aluminum and carbon fiber on a space chassis made from aluminum.
The changes Haʋe En made cover about 85% of the car’s area, McCammon added. Karma Vice President, Global Design Michelle Christensen goes so far as to say that this is “the coolest GT on the road.” The new Gyesera is 199.9 inches long, 78.9 inches wide and 52.4 inches tall, with a wheel length of 124.4 inches. To put those numbers into perspective, it’s 3.9 inches longer and 1.6 inches wider than the Tesla Model S but 4.5 inches lower to the ground.
The rear-wheel-drive Karмa Gyesera aims to produce 590 horsepower and 693 pound-feet of torque to enable 0-60 mph in less than 4.2 seconds and a top speed of over 135 mph . The spec sheet shows a maximum weight capacity of 5,300 pounds. Please note, these are preliminary figures based on simulations and initial testing, so numbers may change until production begins. There’s a 120.0 kilowatt-hour battery pack with enough power for 250 miles, but range is just a projection.
Karмa Autoмotiʋe plans to start production before the end of this year but does not rule out the possibility of a market launch in early 2025. The electric sedan will be produced in limited numbers as only about 2,000 units will be produced in The production period lasts 4 or 5 years.
According to Autoмotiʋe News, it will cost between $175,000 and $225,000. That would make it a lot more expensive than the Tesla Model S (from $74,990), Porsche Taycan (from $99,400), Mercedes EQS (from $104,400) or Audi E-Tron GT (from $106,500).
Introduced this weekend at the Aмelia Island Concours, Gyesera is available for pre-order for $5,000 USD. The new sedan follows last year’s launch of the Kaʋeya electric coupe, which is expected to go on sale in the final quarter of 2025 as the brand’s flagship vehicle. Meanwhile, the updated Reʋero plug-in hybrid is expected to be assembled in the third quarter of 2024.
