Back at COTY in 2011, an identical-looking pre-production Fisker Karma arrived at the Hyundai Proving Ground with parts falling off or warping in the desert sun and doors that wouldn't stay shut under cornering. After 10 years, a bankruptcy, a Chinese purchase of Fisker Automotive's assets, and a major re-engineering effort, the Karma GS-6 returns for our consideration. Surely a decade in various ovens has fully baked this cake, right? Wrong. The many novice chefs attempting this Cordon Bleu recipe failed to nail this luxe/sport PHEV cake. Many ingredients are baked in: powerful rear motors to deliver Ken Block-worthy drifts, 45-kW DC fast charging for the battery, hand-stitched leather and carbon fiber galore, plus handling and design evocative of a four-door Corvette.
