I agree, I will never be into electric and hybrid cars. All these will be is more junkyard or garbage landfill space after the or within the 1st year buying this car. But at least the Fisker is one of my favorite modern designs and the interior is beautiful, but that is it. 😂😂
@@CB12345 ROFL! So very right my friend. Got here trying to find out if I can make my 2.5l Camry growl. Boy was I surprised! There some awesome exhausts out there...
this ain't the same as a pruis. a prius is propelled by the electric motor and the gas engine, but these fiskers use the engine strictly as a generater. its not connected to the wheels whatsoever. Kinda weird.
Seeing a Fisker Karma is quite the treat. Specially one that has obviously been driven a lot. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on fire yet. Also, the engine in these cars only kicks in when the battery is about to die to charge it. It does not power the car whatsoever. And it's just a small 4 cylinder.
I love the Fisker Karma. One of the best modern vehicle designs and the interior is beautiful. But this was a waste of money to spend on a hybrid. This is why getting hybrids and electric cars are a waste of an investment.
the engine is not actually connected to the wheels at all. the engine spins a generator which charges the batteries and the batteries power the electric motors and turn the wheels. so the engine is like a generator.
I own one of these. He should have put it in Sport mode and mashed the throttle. Would’ve been nice to hear how that Ecotec sounds without the muffler.
So u kno…. The inside of the muffler rattles when the motor kicks in. That’s y it was taken off because it can be taken off n replaced with straight pipe
To get the GAS side to kick in... U put ur foot on the brake.. THen give it some gas at the same time.... and it will turn on the gas engine. just dont take ur foot off the brake. got to do GAS and brake..and idle it up slowly.. til the engine kicks in.
He had to put it in sport mode via the left paddle and give it immediate gas i. D to get tbe engine to turn on. It will always be in electric only in reverse.
It’s wild the engine isn’t connected to the wheels all the engine does is generate electricity for the battery pack and the electric motor and the solar roof helps keep the 12v battery charged so u can use the ac and heat
It reminds me of the older 2010 jaguar XKR. What a beautiful car to drive and it’s great just to stare at sitting standing still. So many beautiful curves. ❤
Smart man. This car deserves more than being just another crappy and landfill electric or hybrid vehicle. The Fisker Karma has always interested me, but I never would buy one unless it is only petrol or diesel.
given it's got a GM sourced generator - it might work if you pop the hood - you'd at least hear it idle. otherwise put it in Sport mode and the ICE engine will turn on while driving.
I'm no hater but this thing is... disappointing. We're talking an MSRP of $100k for a base model (IN 2012 MIND YOU!) and you only get 403HP out of a glorified, soundless, hybrid Mustang? That's more than a top level Tesla in TODAYS market, with half the power and range. 240 mile range? With an at-least SIX hour battery charge time? But what do I even know, I'll probably never see $100k anyways lmfao.
The giveaway that the owner of this doesn’t have money like he probably pretends to have, is that bent ass left rear wheel with cheap tires. And the thing didn’t make any noise Becuase it’s all electric unless you get above a certain speed
A car that looks this good deserves a V10 or V12. Or hell, at least Koenigsegg's 600hp TFG 3-cyl to mate with the hybrid system...
Bob Lutz built the Destino. Same car powered by the LS9.
@@michaelscott7706 finally someone who likes this car
If everything new is going to have to be electric in ten years this is a glimpse into that abysmal future 😂

This car is from 2012.
This car literally left us on read no sounds at all 😢😂😂
Right. This car ghosted us all. 😂
Now that’s what you call a weird car
I agree, I just wish there was a full petrol or diesel version of these.
looks like a c7 corvette from the front
@CB They should have put it TTV6 and then have a separate hybrid model that way it's more appealing and it's easier to keep emissions in check
I saw one when I was visiting LA a couple years ago. Car looked nice on the road
Hold the gas pedal to the floor works on the Prius

Kinda weird.
Must say muffler deleting a range extender thats always at the same rpm is kinda stupid lol
Thanks for the sound of 78 decibels. Now I need to do a check-up to the ear doctor.
Lmao
Finally. Something very rare have came to the shop in Nashville, Tennessee.
YOU KNOW HIM?!
I'm just one of his subscribers for his own TH-cam channel.
@@Carspotter682 nice, did you found out this channel from me? Or just by yourself?
@@DA_TV71 On my own and it was several years ago. Possibly back in 2020.
@@Carspotter682 oh, ight
I always thought these cars would've been a nice looking Corvette sedan.
I can actually see that. Just wish there was a full petrol and diesel version of these.
@@CB12345 LS swamp EvEry Fisker left out there!
What a unique thing to see, gorgeous with the big wheels on it just a cool ride all around
I don't like big wheels but they really work with that car

Pretty cool. Saw 1 of these in person for the first time ever about a month ago
Still cool to see. Rare car. 😎👍

On the bright side, this is your funniest video by far
💯🎯
WAIT THIS IS THE CAR I HAVE AS A HOT WHEEL
This was the funniest car vids I’ve seen in years
I own one of these. He should have put it in Sport mode and mashed the throttle. Would’ve been nice to hear how that Ecotec sounds without the muffler.
Man why would you want to do that the car is mostly just electric. That’s just a waste of money.
There was a reason the muffler was replaced with straight pipe. But y is it ur concern? Was it ur money?
Sadly the engine functions as just a generator
yall had me thinking it was apirl fools again 💀
What the hell? What did he pay for? 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
So u kno…. The inside of the muffler rattles when the motor kicks in. That’s y it was taken off because it can be taken off n replaced with straight pipe
A kid at my school drives one every day 😂 still confused as to the designing of the car
I hope Rich Rebuilds gets his hands on one.
What was the point of the muffler delete?
Exactly, that was a waste of money. Hybrid and electric cars are a complete joke. 😂
´Cause...
_24" rims?_
0 iq owner...
To get the GAS side to kick in... U put ur foot on the brake.. THen give it some gas at the same time.... and it will turn on the gas engine. just dont take ur foot off the brake. got to do GAS and brake..and idle it up slowly.. til the engine kicks in.
It’s an audio exhaust that has to be changed for the sound to change. Crazy design
The Fisker Karma is actually a hybrid sedan.
He had to put it in sport mode via the left paddle and give it immediate gas i. D to get tbe engine to turn on. It will always be in electric only in reverse.
Goodness me! thats the loudest exhaust I think I've ever heard in my life. Speakers wont do is justice but how did you go about this without earmuffs?
It’s wild the engine isn’t connected to the wheels all the engine does is generate electricity for the battery pack and the electric motor and the solar roof helps keep the 12v battery charged so u can use the ac and heat
This is a pretty late April Fools joke

Hey I think I've seen that one at Lane Motor Museum in Nashville?
if it's quiet like this, then why it has a muffler ?? Muffler removed, still super quiet !!
Pretty sure there will be moments the engine will engage and make noise. Just needs the right scenarios. I assume highway driving is one way
They are beautiful, I would like to LS swap one. Get rid of all the electric stuff.
Smart man. This car deserves more than being just another crappy and landfill electric or hybrid vehicle. The Fisker Karma has always interested me, but I never would buy one unless it is only petrol or diesel.
This is probably the only video on the entirety of the internet of a muffler delete on a fisker karma
I smoked too much.....what's going on with this car c again?
That back left wheel is just a little jacked up lolol
I want same sound for my tesla
I can never see the front of this car and not think “Handlebar mustache”
I was really hoping to hear something 😢
I have one you put it in Sport mode and when the battery is less than 27miles.
Interesting so they run the exhaust like the SLR exiting after the front tires... but dumped rather than side pipes. Learn something new everyday.
😅The engine is only to charge the batteries. It's just a generator. If you want it to kick in, you have to deplete the batteries
given it's got a GM sourced generator - it might work if you pop the hood - you'd at least hear it idle. otherwise put it in Sport mode and the ICE engine will turn on while driving.
at least the v6 challenger did justice in the end 🤦♂️
Now that was a very different result right there
“Nothing” lmao 😂😂😂
handsome ass car, looks like it has a two piece mustache, deserves a w12, v8 or v10 atleast
Wow that LR wheel is so bent
Never heard of this car… hope it’s cool
Haha.. Hope he likes it.. I had a friend who did that to a prius and it sounded like a weed wacker...
I see this car driving around my home town never knew what it was tho intel seeing this.
Lmao I’m weak at the cryin faces man 😂😂
If I can't hear it, I don't need it!
Pimp rims with rubber bands, feel the coins, heads or tails?
Imagine paying $100 to hear nothing 😂🤣
Yeah that was a disappointment but cool car
I agree, this is why I would never buy this electric and hybrid crap.
@@CB12345 exactly!
Haha it's so clean, no raspy :D
Those rims!! I need sunglasses to see them
Wasted of money
I agree, the owner must not be that smart of a person in reality.
beautifull looking car but silent cars is not my idea of a good time! but looking great all the same!
who the hell put those wheels on😂
Also it sounds exactly like a Chevy cobalt
Nice big ol bend in those ugly ass wheels at 1:37 😂
I have two sets. Thank u
😂😂😂 a damn golf cart sound meaner
hmmm well that sucked.....😐
bro bought the wrong car 😂
Dam my ears hurt from that 😂
I think those use the eco tech turbo 4 frm gm for gas motor
too loud for my taste he should get corsa
basically a widebody tesla lmao
thats slower than a honda accord🤣🤣
I thought these were all electric?
Quietest episode ever😂
They actually pretty cars just.....
