GXP's LNF 2.0 Turbo going into Fisker Karma!



Guess what Folks! Fisker Karma is going into production and guess what engine they will be using as their ICE? That’s right the LNF!

With Tesla dieing a slow death, Fiskar is picking up form where Tesla left off with a very pretty four door coupe. The car is an electric car with an ICE range extender much like the Volt.

I wonder how long Fisker will be in business before they start circling the bowl too.

Hate it - looks like someone tried to build bling for the sake of bling with a big price tag. Nice choice for an engine though.

Probably needs the mustache grill to cool the batteries?

Just keep seeing the image of Kimi Raikkonen jumping out of the hot seat in his electric power boosted Ferrari F1 ...cars' batteries got so hot that the cockpit filled up with smoke. Good thing he had his fire suit on.

A Buick Regal concept car at the Detroit also has a 2.0 turbo motor with 230hp mentioned. Hey, let's use the fine lnf motor wherever if that is the motor! The mileage ratings are better with the smaller motor compared to larger displacements.
