The Coolest Car We’ve Ever Seen
Wow. We just finished watching the latest video blog from the Green Girls, a group of beautiful women working to inspire an eco-conscious lifestyle. They’re showcasing what is most definitely the coolest hybrid vehicle we have ever laid eyes on: the Fisker Karma.
Fisker Automotive is one of the few hybrid-only manufacturers working towards green auto sustainability. And thanks to the Green Girls, we were given an insider’s look at the company’s newest creation, the Karma luxury hybrid vehicle. Let’s just say it’s a true thing of beauty.
Here are the best specs:
- Plug-in hybrid technology.
- 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds, as opposed to the Ford Fusion’s 8.5-second and Toyota Hybrid’s 9.8-second test ratings.
- Cutting-edge hybrid system; run the car emission-free for 50 miles before engine kicks in.
- Optional full-length solar roof to power the car and provide cooling for the interior cabin while it’s parked – perfect for SoCal living.
- Regenerative brakes to recapture braking energy and power the car with it.
Fisker even sells solar arrays for your garage roof to keep your car charged overnight – totally cost- and emission-free.

I’m so proud to be a Dane
The designer of the Fisker auto is Danish and I agree that the design is extremely cool. I don’t think that Fisker is a cool sounding name for a car make though.

I completely agree. People are too caught up in namesakes and legacies that they don’t think about how unattractive a word like Fisker is. Whisker? Spinster? Gross. What would you have named it?
