Fisker to debut Karma S 'Sunset' Concept at Detroit

Fisker's Karma plug-in hybrid sedan may be one of the most attractive designs to take electricity to four wheels, and it's soon to get a stablemate. The company released information today that they will be debuting a new concept that bears the name Karma S at the Detroit Auto Show, with the S standing for Sunset.

Nothing else about the car is yet known, however. The photo reveals very little, showing only a front fender and door line that appears to resemble the Karma very closely. A lack of B-pillar and a generally bright look to the interior hints that this might be a convertible, which works well with the Sunset theme.

A flashy new door insert that looks as if it could also double as some sort of engine bay vent extends a swooping flare down the side of the car as well. The split-spoke alloy wheels are also of a different type than those of the Karma, though they do share a sort of familial look.

The show ain’t over until Honda says it’s over: Honda NSX concept coming to Detroit?

It was recently reported by AutoExpress that Honda has shelved plans to build the Acura/Honda NSX supercar. Honda made no comment on the report that said Honda pulled the plug on the 600-hp supercar due to the economic slowdown.

Well, Autotelegraaf is now saying that Honda will bring the final NSX concept to the 2009 Detroit Auto Show next month. The report says that the concept will be very close to the final production version which will make its debut at the end of 2009 in Tokyo and 2010 in Europe.

The news comes a couple days after Toyota announced that it will still bring the Lexus LF-A to the market by 2011 despite the current economic situation.
