Background
The Revero predecessor was first introduced by Fisker Automotive as the Karma in 2012. It was the only model produced by Fisker before it went out of business in 2013. The tooling for the Fisker Karma was bought by Wanxiang in 2014. The tooling was moved from the factory in Finland to a new factory in Moreno Valley, California, USA. A total of 2,667 Fisker Karma were built before production was stopped. Karma's current headquarters reside in Irvine, California.History
The Fisker Karma was redesigned by Karma Automotive and reintroduced as the Karma Revero. The 2017 Revero was launched on September 8, 2016, at Laguna Beach. The exterior of the Karma Revero closely resembles the Fisker Karma, keeping the design produced by Henrik Fisker. The Karma Revero car also won 2018's Green Luxury Car of the Year award from ''Green Car Journal''. In 2018, Karma announced a limited production high-end package, the Karma Revero Aliso, named after the California beach, that adds $15,000 to the price of the car, resulting with a $145,000 starting price car, with a limited run of 15 units. In 2019, an updated version, the Karma Revero GT, was revealed, using a three-cylinder 1.5 liter BMW engine as a range extender instead of the older model's drive motor GM engine. The new engine configuration launched in 2020, and it used to use the same B38 engine found in the BMW i8. Included in the changes is a larger battery.Karma GS-6
