An Intoxicating Combination of Exclusivity,
Technology, and Exhilarating Driving Dynamics with Just 30 Examples
Available Worldwide
LAS
VEGAS, Nov. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Karma
Automotive, California's first and
only ultra-luxury automaker, today at the Concours at Wynn Las
Vegas unveiled the Karma Invictus, the first vehicle from the
exclusive Karma Collection. This performance-focused expression of
the groundbreaking Revero sedan turns-up the wick in every
dimension with unique carbon fiber bodywork, elevated interior
appointments and driver-focused performance upgrades underpinned by
Karma's proven and versatile hybrid Extended Range Electric (EREV)
powertrain. Just 30 examples of Karma Invictus will be available
worldwide, with pricing and delivery timeline to be announced.
Karma Automotive, California's first and only ultra-luxury
automaker, today unveiled the Karma Invictus.
Karma Invictus is positioned above its stablemate, the 3rd
Generation Karma Revero, which begins delivering to clients in
the United States and European
Union later this month.
"Karma Invictus takes an intense and visceral persona,
amplifying its performance with a sharpened chassis paired with
bespoke exterior and interior appointments to create a new identity
for this legendary four-door GT," says Marques McCammon, President, Karma Automotive. "As with the 3rd Generation
Karma Revero, which begins delivering to clients later this month,
Karma Invictus unleashes the potential of its space-frame by
marrying lightweight carbon fiber bodywork with our innovative
hybrid Extended Range Electric powertrain."
Karma Invictus commands a dramatic first impression with its
low-slung road presence and aggressive stance. Highly technical
paintwork amplifies this eYect, transitioning rearward down the
center of the car from Pacifico Grey to fully reveal its carbon
fiber hood, roof, and trunk. The front fenders of Karma Invictus
are also replaced with carbon fiber, and incorporate louvred vents
which improve airflow management by releasing air pressure from the
front wheel arches. Carbon fiber appointments extend to the rocker
panels and rear spoiler, accented by blacked-out logos and new
black, polished split 5-Spoke forged aluminum 21-inch wheels
shod with Michelin PS4S tires, now 10mm wider in the rear (295/35
R21) for greater grip.
Upgrades to the chassis include advanced Motorsports coil-overs
from Ohlins paired with Swift springs. Karma Invictus delivers more
direct and precise steering, and improved grip and predictability
at the cornering limit and over uneven road surfaces. The result is
a more driver-focused experience, with Karma Invictus accelerating
from 0-60 in an estimated 3.97 seconds, over half a second quicker
than the 3rd Generation Revero on which it is based.
The distillation of the experience continues through to the
interior of Karma Invictus, beginning with bold anodized aluminum
door sill plaques which are inscribed to the client's
specifications alongside the vehicle's sequence in the limited run
of just 30 examples. The seats, which are heated and ventilated for
front passengers, have been re- trimmed with an art deco pattern
reminiscent of New York's famed
Chrysler Building – a monument of timeless design, as is Karma
Invictus – while also paying homage to the spirit of American
design and ingenuity which inspires Karma Automotive. This motif is
carried through to the stitching of the center armrest and interior
door panels (front and rear); "Karma Invictus" is embroidered on
the front headrests and reiterated with a tone-on-tone logo
adorning the passenger side dashboard.
Karma Invictus shares its hybrid EREV powertrain with the 3rd
Generation Karma Revero. Its 28 kWh HV battery pack together with a
1.5-liter turbocharged powerplant is mated to an onboard generator
providing electricity to the 400 kW 2-motor propulsion system,
offering a compelling combination of drivability, performance, and
efficiency. This setup provides 536 horsepower and 550 lb/ft of
torque, with up to 80 miles of pure electric range and 360 miles of
total range, giving it the grace of an EV for daily driving, but
the freedom of an internal combustion vehicle for long-distance
driving.
Karma Invictus can be ordered with a multitude of options to
further tailor the vehicle to personal preferences. Each example
will be manufactured at Karma Automotive's KICC assembly facility
in Moreno Valley, California, and
hand-finished by master craftsmen at Karma's global headquarters in
nearby Irvine.
