The Karma Revero Is Dead, But Its Fisker DNA Refuses To Die

  • Karma just ended Revero production after eight years on sale.
  • Gyesera keeps the same aluminum spaceframe and EREV setup.
  • Company is taking $5,000 deposits with no firm delivery date.

The Fisker Karma made its debut all the way back in 2011 as a strikingly unconventional sports sedan, combining exotic design with an electrified powertrain long before it was common. Fourteen years later, the last version of its successor, the Karma Revero, has quietly rolled off the production line.

Even so, the design isn’t fading away just yet. That familiar low-slung shape will return, reshaped and repackaged under a new name.

Just days ago, Karma Automotive shared images of the final Revero on its official social media channels. The 5,065 mm (199.4-inch) long sedan was shown inside the company’s facility, finished in green with a beige and black cabin. It’s unclear whether this specific car is destined for a private buyer or will remain in Karma’s own collection.

The Revero was first introduced in 2016 as a reworked version of the short-lived Fisker Karma, which was sold between 2011 and 2012. After Fisker’s bankruptcy, not to be confused with his more recent one (yes, Henrik Fisker had a few), the company’s assets were picked up by China’s Wanxiang Group, which brought the car back under the Karma Automotive name. The updates were modest, but enough to mark a new chapter.

Over the years the brand revealed new versions of the model, including the Revero GT in 2019 with a BMW-sourced turbo 1.5-liter range-extender engine, the more affordable GS-6 in 2021, and the carbon-clad Invictus in 2024.

Karma has been clear that it sees the Revero’s legacy as ongoing, not concluded. “Legacy does not end. It endures,” the company stated, and the upcoming Gyesera is the embodiment of that idea. Positioned as a direct successor, the Gyesera carries the same DNA with several key updates.

In its final form, the Revero delivered a combined 536 hp (400 kW / 544 PS) and 550 lb-ft (746 Nm) of torque through its extended-range electric powertrain. The 28 kWh battery provided up to 80 miles (129 km) of pure electric driving, contributing to a total range of 360 miles (579 km) when combined with gasoline refueling.

From Karma to Gyesera

The Karma Revero Is Dead, But Its Fisker DNA Refuses To Die

The Gyesera continues to use the aluminum spaceframe that dates back to the original Fisker Karma, though it now wears revised bodywork made from carbon fiber and aluminum.

Despite early claims of enhanced performance, official figures suggest that range and battery capacity remain unchanged from the Revero. Where there is a difference, it’s in the power. The Gyesera’s setup is rated at 558 hp (416 kW / 566 PS), a slight increase, while torque drops marginally to 546 lb-ft (740 Nm).

Karma is currently accepting $5,000 deposits for the Gyesera. Production was originally scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, though with the year almost over and no updates provided, that timeline now seems uncertain.

Beyond the Gyesera, the company’s future lineup includes the Amaris, a related model with a two-door body. Karma has also announced production versions of the Kaveya super coupe and the Ivara crossover, both of which were unveiled in concept form in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

This German 911 Looks Straight Out Of 1973 But It’s Hiding A Big Secret

Image
Ruehle’s F97 puts a modern 997 twist on the backdated 911 formula. The 2005-based F97 looks like a ’73 RSR but runs a water-cooled heart. All-steel US-legal builds start at $400K, undercutting Singer’s prices. Sometimes it feels like you’ve seen so many G-series 911 and 964 restomods that there must only be about three standard cars left in the world, which is why the backdated 911 you see here really caught our attention. Because this one isn’t based on a 1980s or ’90s Porsche at all. It starts with a newer model that’s quietly slipped from the spotlight, despite being one of the most balanced 911s ever made.

Only 69 Of These 10.4-Liter V8 Camaros Exist And They’re Just As Naughty As That Sounds

Image
The 2023 COPO Camaro delivers 1,004 hp from a 10.4-liter V8. This beast can sprint down the quarter-mile in under 8 seconds. When it was new, these cars set back owners around $130,000. When you think of modern performance cars with truly colossal engines, your mind probably drifts toward the Dodge Viper with its 8.4-liter V10 or the Bugatti Chiron and its 8.0-liter W16. Yet not long ago, Chevrolet quietly built a limited run of Camaros whose engines made even those giants look restrained. More: This Forgotten 1,000-Mile Oldsmobile V8 Sedan Took On Lexus And Lost The car in question is the 2023 COPO Camaro , of which just 69 examples were produced. These models were available with a choice of three V8s: a 427 cubic-inch (6.9-liter) V8, a supercharged 350 cubic-inch (5.7-liter), and a monstrous 632 cubic-inch V8, which translates to 10.4 liters. In January, Mecum Auctions will be selling one of the COPO models equipped with this flagship engine. How Big Is Too Big...

Stellantis Wants To Rebrand Chinese EVs For Europe

Image
Opel may rebadge the Leapmotor B10 for Europe by 2026. Production could begin at Stellantis’ Zaragoza plant in Spain. Local output could help avoid steep EU tariffs on Chinese EVs. Stellantis could soon find itself stepping into unfamiliar territory, as it is reportedly exploring the idea of adding Chinese-built models to its European lineup under familiar badges. According to insider sources, Opel is eyeing the electric Leapmotor B10 as its first possible contender. German outlet Automobilwoche reports that the Chinese SUV might wear Opel badges as early as next year. Leapmotor, a Chinese EV manufacturer partly owned by Stellantis, has been steadily expanding its footprint both at home and abroad.
