• Karma has introduced the new Invictus, a limited-edition model based on the Revero sedan.
  • It features a carbon fiber bodywork as well as an upgraded interior with special upholstery.
  • Powered by a range-extended setup, it delivers 536 hp and up to 80 miles of electric range.

Karma Automotive has largely been flying under the radar, but the company has now introduced the new Invictus. It’s being billed as a “performance-focused expression of the groundbreaking Revero sedan.”

While the model closely resembles the Fisker Karma, which was introduced nearly a decade and a half ago, the Invictus has been given an aggressive carbon fiber makeover. As you can see, the sedan has been equipped with a carbon fiber hood, roof, and trunk. They’re joined by new carbon fiber front fenders, which have functional vents above the wheels.

The carbon fiber fest doesn’t end there as the lightweight material can also be found on the grille, side skirts, rear spoiler, and diffuser. They’re accompanied by black badging and 21-inch aluminum wheels wearing slightly wider Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

Interior changes are more modest, but there are heated and ventilated front seats with an “art deco pattern reminiscent of New York’s famed Chrysler Building.” This pattern is also echoed on the door panels and center console. Elsewhere, there are embroidered headrests and anodized aluminum door sill plates.

 Karma Invictus Is A Lightweight, Carbon-Clad Revero

Since the Invictus is based on the third-generation Revero, the model has a range-extended electric powertrain that consists of a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, a 28 kWh battery pack, and two motors. This gives the sedan a combined output of 536 hp (400 kW / 543 PS) and 550 lb-ft (745 Nm) of torque as well as an electric-only range of up to 80 miles (129 km).

While the powertrain appears to carryover untouched, the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time has dropped from 4.5 seconds to 3.97 seconds. This is presumably due to weight savings and added traction.

The performance upgrades continue with a revised suspension that includes Ohlins coil-overs and Swift springs. The company went on to say the model “delivers more direct and precise steering, and improved grip and predictability at the cornering limit and over uneven road surfaces.” It sounds promising on paper, though we’ll have to see if it translates to a more engaging drive.

Production will be limited to 30 units, although Karma hasn’t revealed pricing or delivery timelines.
