Danish Prince Is First to Sample Fisker Karma Hybrid

Danish Prince Is First to Sample Fisker Karma Hybrid

Want to be the first non-employee to take a crack at Fisker’s new Karma hybrid? You’d better be the crown prince of Denmark. Seriously.

Given that the United Nations chose to hold its climate change conference in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, Fisker Automobiles decided it could gain some exposure by loaning a Karma to Denmark’s royal family. As a result, Prince Frederik used the slinky four-door hybrid to roll into today’s conference proceedings.

We’ve yet to have a crack at the Karma ourselves, but the sedan can purportedly travel 50 miles on electricity alone, before a small gasoline engine (which, at one time, was GM’s 2.0-liter turbocharged Ecotec I-4) comes on line to add an extra 250 miles of travel. Production will reportedly begin at a production line in Finland later in 2010.
