Karma is launching its high-performance
2020 Revero GTS model at this year’s LA Auto Show, featuring a 0-96
km/h acceleration time of less than 3.9 seconds, and an electronically-limited
top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h). The GTS is now available for pre-orders
through Karma’s North American retail partners, with production scheduled to
begin in the first quarter of 2020. As for pricing, the 2020 Revero GTS retails
for US$ 149,950.
For the exterior, the GTS version gains
carbon fiber trim, while the interior features the automaker’s new in-house
Soloscape audio technology and haptic tactile steering wheel switches – also
available on the SC2 electric hypercar concept.
Like the regular GT, the GTS also boasts
dual electric motors and a TwinPower Turbo three-cylinder in-line engine, to go
with the on-board electric generator. Its driving range is 580 km,
with 80 emissions-free miles (128 km) courtesy of a 28 kWh NMC lithium-ion
battery.
On the move, drivers can select from three
different modes (Stealth, Sustain and Sport). If performance is what you’re
after, you’ll be happy to know that there’s a Launch Control feature too, which
can be selected through the Sport mode, before applying the brake and accelerator
pedals. As the on-board generator starts the range extender for maximum
electrical power, the car’s digital instrument panel will start a countdown for
launch. After releasing the brake, the car takes off and your speedometer turns
into a stopwatch to show the elapsed time.
The Revero GTS also comes with ventilated
seats, touch-sensitive steering wheel controls, oak and elm interior inlays,
high-quality leather, active noise cancellation and more. Customers can even
choose one-off paints, interiors, seats, stitching and jewels to make their
vehicle unique, thanks to Karma’s in-house customization options.
