Fisker Karma Performance Overview
Conceived as a range-extended performance sedan, the Fisker Karma’s production run lasted only 2012 to 2012, but it still produced a clear data trail across 5 verified tests (3 production, 2 modified). In factory form, every recorded result comes from 2012, when the plug-in hybrid paired a 403-hp system with the Ecotec 2.0L inline-four generator setup. The quickest verified launch was the 2012 EcoChic Sedan at 5.9 seconds to 60 mph, while another EcoChic Sedan ran 6.1 seconds, defining the model’s narrow production spread.
That consistency continued through the quarter-mile data. The fastest recorded pass was the 2012 EcoChic Sedan at 14.7 seconds at 94.2 mph, with the overall average settling at 14.83 seconds at 93.4 mph. Because the Karma’s entire production history fits within a single model year, there are no later gasoline, hybrid, or electric eras to chart beyond that initial plug-in-hybrid configuration. As it stands today, the Karma remains represented in this database by one short production chapter and one primary performance profile: a 2012-only plug-in hybrid sedan with a current best of 5.9 seconds to 60 mph.
