Fisker Karma hybrid supercar crosses the Atlantic to Harrods UK


Harrods, one of the oldest and most prestigious retail store in the world has wrapped up quite a few luxury cars under its wing before – Lexus CT and Aston Martin Cygnet being a couple of them. It is now set to play host to a new hybrid vehicle- Fisker Karma at its Knightsbridge store. Harrods will be the first store to have the car on display and prospective customers will be able to take a tour of the vehicle and also virtually configure their own model. The American-developed hybrid sportscar is a venture by Valmet Automotive in Sweden also responsible for introducing the Porsche Boxster. The car’s 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is petrol cum electric powered and provides a 260hp direct injection, with 201.5hp electric motors dishing out a total output of 403hp and 98lb of torque.
