Karma Automotive Reveals the Stunning Plug-in Hybrid Amaris Coupe
Despite its rocky past, luxury EV manufacturer Karma Automotive continues to lead the way in innovation. The Amaris, a sleek two-door extended-range electric coupe featuring the company’s most recent Comet Line design, was just introduced. Even though they only produce a few hundred cars annually, Karma continues to produce some of the most striking cars in the luxury market.
Launch Date
With a range-extender arrangement and redesigned look, the Gyesera, which was first unveiled in early 2024, will now appear by the end of 2025 instead of the end of last year with a fully electric drivetrain.
Features and Design
The Amaris’s carbon fiber and aluminum body is an advancement of the Revero’s all-aluminum space frame design. The Amaris has a production-intent design, with 22-inch forged aluminum wheels, a clamshell bonnet, and a pass-through rear spoiler. Although it is equipped with a four-cylinder range extender for battery recharging, it also features side-exit tailpipes for extra style.
The sleek two-door body has many design elements with Karma’s current model, the Revero (formerly GS-6), and the electric Gyesera sedan that was unveiled in March of last year.
Battery Power
The Amaris’s range-extender system is reportedly a “more powerful, next-generation” version of the device featured in its existing models. The current range-extending PHEV configuration has a 1.5-liter three-cylinder BMW turbocharged engine that powers two electric motors with a combined output of 536 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. The engine is fed by a battery.
Engine Power
The Amaris will be equipped with a gas generator and a powerful drivetrain. In keeping with its sleek, athletic look, the car’s manufacturer claims it can reach a high speed of 165 miles per hour and reach 60 miles per hour from a stop in less than 3.5 seconds.
The Gyesera, which was first unveiled last year, will now be available as a range-extended EV rather than a fully battery-electric car, the automaker also disclosed. Because of shifts in the short-term demand for electric vehicles, Karma made the decision to convert it to a hybrid. Similar adjustments are being made by numerous other automakers in response to consumer demand after they recently reassessed their EV plans.
