Karma Automotive unveiled a new electric car on Nov. 11 at the Wynn Concours in Las Vegas.
The 1,180-horsepower Karma Kaveya, a name inspired by a Hindi term meaning “poetry in motion,” will come in two variants projected to reach 60 miles per hour in less than three seconds. Pricing was not announced but will be comparable to vehicles from Aston Martin and McLaren, says Marques McCammon, president of Karma Automotive. The two-seat Kaveya has a projected driving range of more than 250 miles and a 45-minute charge time to 80% full on a 400-volt charger.
