The Chinese Karma Revero is the revamped, revised, updated, and new production descendant of the Finnish Fisker Karma. It is manufactured by Karma Automotive. The first of the new production, for model year 2017, was released in September 2016.[1]
Background
The Revero predecessor was first introduced by Fisker Automotive as the Karma, in 2012. It was the only model produced by Fisker before it went out of business, in 2013. The tooling for the Fisker Karma was bought by Wanxiang in 2014. The tooling was moved from the factory in Finland to a new factory in Moreno Valley, California, USA. About 1000 Fisker Karmas were built before production was stopped.[1][2]
History
The Fisker Karma was redesigned by Karma Automotive and reintroduced as the Revero. The 2017 Revero was launched on 8 September 2016 at Laguna Beach. The exterior of the Karma Revero closely resembles that of the Fisker Karma, keeping the design produced by Henrik Fisker.[3]
