"Designed to get you hot, not the planet"
Hey, it's only $95K (base model), $109K loaded, 50EV miles, and then it gets 20MPG on the gasoline range extender.... Theyll be selling like hotcakes (not)
It does have more torque than a Bugatti Veyron, which costs 18 times as much, and is not availble unless you have a net worth of at least 300 million.

"The Karma's two 201 brake horsepower (204 PS) motors produce 1,300 newton metres (960 ft·lbf) of torque, more than the Bugatti Veyron at 1,250 N·m (920 ft·lbf).[22][23] The Karma features a 125 mph (201 km/h) top speed and is capable of reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) from a standstill in 5.8 seconds.[24]"
