Those heading to California for the 2019 Monterey
Car Week will get to see a large selection of premieres, one of which is going
to be the Karma GT. Designed by Pininfarina as part of a partnership between the two
companies that was announced in January, the stunning coupe joins the Revero GT
and SC1 Vision Concept and previewing Karma’s aspirations for the future, in
the short and long run.
The Karma GT is inspired by the Revero GT, albeit
with two less doors and custom body panels beautifully crafted by the Italian
design house. The interior of the concept is also different and
features plush materials such as white leather and some tech, like the
infotainment system, incorporated into the dashboard, plus a digital instrument
cluster.
“Presenting to Pebble Beach our strategic
relationship with a Southern California-based brand is perfectly aligned to
Pininfarina’s growth strategy in the North American market”, said Pininfarina’s
Sales and Marketing Director, Giuseppe Bonollo. “We bring to the U.S. our
expertise in design, in the creation of customized luxury vehicles and in
premium brand lifestyle. We are sure that the stunning electric GT we designed
for Karma will be very much appreciated by Pebble Beach collectors.”
The Karma GT’s future is still undetermined, as
depending on the feedback it gets, it could make it into production. Even if it
gets greenlit, the vehicle will be offered in a very limited number, which
should keep the interest of collectors high. Should it hit assembly, it will be
put together in Italy by Pininfarina.
