“Harrods is one of the most prestigious retail sites in the world,
which is perfect for our car,” said Henrik Fisker, co-founder and
CEO of Fisker Automotive. “The landmark store attracts hundreds of
thousands of customers from all over the world during January, and
we look forward to introducing them to the Fisker Karma.”
Harrods Media Sales Director, Guy
Cheston, commented: “We are delighted to have partnered with Fisker
Automotive to become the first UK retailer to exhibit the Fisker
Karma. This exciting new luxury electric vehicle will take pride of
place in our iconic windows and is certain to attract a great deal
of interest from our customers.” |
The Karma is the world’s first
true luxury electric vehicle
with extended range allowing it
to offer Uncompromised
Responsible Luxury. It combines
the efficiency of electric drive
with the range and freedom of
petrol-powered cars, while
offering the comfort and
performance expected of a
high-end sedan.
Despite its size, performance,
and visual appeal, the Karma is one of the most efficient,
low-emission vehicles available today. It can travel from 0-60
mph in 6.2 seconds yet was recently given an astonishing
emissions rating of just 51 g/km CO2 by the TUV and a 112 mpg
equivalency rating.
Prospective customers visiting
Harrods will be able to take a tour of the vehicle, offered the
chance to virtually configure their own model and put in touch
with their nearest dealership to arrange a test drive.
The Fisker Karma is the first
American-designed and engineered luxury vehicle specifically
developed to appeal to global markets. It is the only luxury
sedan in the world that meets future fuel consumption and
emission requirements, making it suitable for any international
city with its ability to travel 50 miles on electric only with
zero emissions.
The 2012 Fisker Karma is
already on sale in the United States, priced from $102,000, and
will be available at dealerships internationally in the coming
weeks. Harrods owner Qatar Holding is also a shareholder in
Fisker Automotive Inc.
