At the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours, Karma showed off the Revero GT. It was first introduced at the Auto Shanghai in April 2019, and Karma brought it to North America to announce pricing and availability.
Karma released a Revero back in 2017, which was basically a re-do of the Fisker Karma from back in 2012. The Revero GT, however, is a significant upgrade to the 2017 Karma Revero.
The Revero GT uses the same turbo-charged 3 cylinder gas engine used by the BMW i8 to give it a total of 360 miles of range. On the 28 kWh battery pack alone, the Revero GT electric range is 80 miles.
Power comes from 2 electric motors, both of them on the rear axle, providing 536 horsepower and 427 lb-ft of torque. Even though the Revero GT weighs about 5000 lbs, it can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
Inside and outside are similar to the 2017 Revero, but revised, and appear to have a high quality of fit and finish. Dies for the body panels have been recreated to allow for tighter seems and slight recontouring without losing the iconic look of the original Karma. More importantly, the crash structures were also modernized.
The 2020 Revero GT will be available in the fourth quarter of 2019 with prices starting at $135,000.
The electric vehicle is build in Moreno Valley, California.
