According to mister Fisker himself the tour is scheduled to leave the company’s headquarters in Irvine, California on the 27th of April.

This tour is purposed in giving the customers that have already placed a deposit on the Karma a chance to see it live before the first quarter of 2011 when deliveries are scheduled. The tour is supposed to cover all 1600 people that have placed their $5000 deposit upfront for this incredibly good looking sedan.

The Fisker Karma is powered by a Q-Drive system that features a couple of 201 horsepower electric engines that sap power from a lithium-ion battery pack. The estimated range on battery alone is 50 miles but if your trip is longer than that a 2 liter turbocharged direct injection Ecotec engine that’s developed by GM will boost the range to an estimated 300 miles. As far as performance is concerned, you get more than enough in this car: 0-60 takes 5.8 seconds and the top speed is 125 mph.
