Karma Automotive has shown off three brand new cars at this year"s Shanghai motor show. One"s a mad, scissor-doored roofless electric hypercar while two are electric GT cars. Both of those, you will note, are rather attractive. Let"s deal with the real one first. In red, it"s called the Revero GT, and is a substantially re-engineered version of the old Revero, itself a reworked version of the old Fisker Karma. So it"s electric, but gets an on-board generator powered by BMW"s three-cylinder 1.5-litre petrol engine. BMW also uses this same engine in the i8, so it"s got form powering a bit of class, only in this Karma application, it actually just charges up the batteries on the go.
