Fisker Automotive took the wraps of the Karma S Concept today at the Detroit Auto Show. The four-seat, plug-in hybrid hardtop convertible is powered by two electric motors that generate a total of 403 hp.

Featuring the proprietary Q-Drive powertrain, the Fisker Karma S Concept will have an all-electric range of 50 miles (80km). After 50 miles, the gasoline engine turns a generator to charge the lithium ion battery.

Fisker Karma will go on sale end of November with a base price of $87,900 (USD).

Currently there is no information will the Karma S Concept ever make it into production, but if Fisker can sell the Karma then it is very likely that we will see the Karma S on the roads in the next few years. We wish Mr. Fisker good luck as this is another fantastic looking car that offers excellent performance (0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds) with a very low fuel consumption*.

* Fisker Automotive estimates that most Karma drivers who charge the Karma overnight and commute less than 50 miles per day will be able to achieve an average fuel economy of 100 mpg (2.4L/100km) per year.
