Fisker Karma shifts towards reality

New engineering center in Michigan opened

The $87,000 Fisker Karma plug-in is on schedule to launch in late 2010, and a new engineering center has been opened in Michigan for the effort.

"We're excited to start something up," stated Henrik Fisker, CEO of Fisker Automotive according to AutoWeek. "We're getting a lot of good people in--so that's obviously a big advantage for us."

The 34,000 square foot building will be used for vehicle integration purposes and will employ 200 people to help develop the plug-in hybrid that will be capable of achieving 50 miles of pure electricity, while going from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds - cake eaters are drooling everywhere.
