Karma Automotive is gearing up to introduce the 2020
Revero later this month, but the company has just unveiled a limited edition of
the current model. Described as a pre-sold one-off, the Black Ocean Limited Edition is
based on one of the “very last original Karma Reveros.” It has more than 80
unique features including a custom paint job and unique interior appointments.
The company was coy on specifics, but we can see the
car has a matte black exterior with yellow accents on the air intakes and front
fender vents. The yellow theme is also echoed on the Brembo brake calipers
which hide behind black alloy wheels.
The decision to unveil the Revero Black Ocean today
wasn’t a coincidence as the company introduced the car during a renaming
ceremony for its Moreno Valley plant. Now known as the Karma Innovation and
Customization Center, the facility will build the 2020 Revero and provide the
“ultimate in customization, craftsmanship and technology integration.” Karma didn’t go into specifics,
but suggested future models will offer more personalization options than ever
before. The automaker also said the Revero Black Ocean hints at the kind of
customized vehicles that it is preparing to offer enthusiasts.
The plant is preparing to build the 2020 Revero
which will go on sale in the second half of this year. The model will debut at
the Shanghai Auto Show next week and feature an updated design as well as a new
powertrain. The latter has a more powerful lithium-ion battery pack, a new twin-motor
rear drive unit and a range-extending BMW TwinPower Turbo three-cylinder
engine. This setup will enable the car to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 4.5 seconds, which is nearly one second faster than its predecessor.
