History 

“The Fisker Karma was revealed at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.[16] It is the first car from Fisker Automotive, a new auto maker based in Anaheim, California, founded on 5 September 2007.[17]
Production began in July 2011,[5] and the first two deliveries took place in the United States on July 26, 2011.[8][18] In October 2011 the first Karma delivered in the UK was auctioned to benefit Pratham UK and raised a bid of GB£140,000 (around US$220,000).[19]

Fisker Karma has not built a car since July 2012.[87] The company is heading towards bankruptcy and they have fired 3/4 of their workers. Originally the base model was starting at $102,000 USD. Today you can go on ebay and find the car going for $40,000 USD to $80,000 USD. The problem is if you buy one of them and they break down is, you will not be able to find anyone to fix them. The cars are not very reliable and tend to need some work. 

Henrik Fisker decided to leave the company when the company was going down hill. When another company showed interest in buying Fisker Henrik is now back with the company.[89] He wants the company thats interested in buying Fisker help him settle a 171 million dollar debt.[88]
