This sexy ‘green’ sports sedan is the first product of Fisker Automotive. Folks were first wowed by the vehicle’s darn good looks as a concept at the 2008 Auto Show. Now in its production form, it uses a small four-cylinder gas engine that charges a lithium-ion battery pack when needed and regenerative braking to recover some of the energy lost in annoying stop and go traffic. The vehicle needs charging daily and then you’ll be able to drive up to 50 miles on a battery charge. On the flip side, the Karma can reach 60mph in 6 seconds or less, hit a top speed of 125mph but has been known to peak at 148 mpg for brief periods, and give you 620 miles on a tank of gas. Pricing will start upwards of $80,000.
