Karma Automotive introduced its new two-door coupe, the Amaris, which features a more powerful, next-generation extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain combined with an aluminum architecture.
“Karma Automotive remains at the forefront of EREV powertrains, and believes now more than ever that the freedom of refueling either with gasoline or electricity is ideally suited to the marketplace,” said Marques McCammon, president of Karma Automotive. “With our gorgeous Amaris 2-door coupe and soon-to-be-revealed Gyesera 4-door, we’re building a range of vehicles that will deliver exceptional EV torque and performance paired with worry-free cruising range, a combination that only EREV can deliver.”
Both the Amaris and Gyesera both will feature versions of the company’s all-aluminum spaceframe architecture, which was originated by the groundbreaking Karma Revero. In addition, the Amaris presents an elegant carbon fiber and aluminum body, representing the latest evolution of Karma Automotive’s Comet Line design language. The design begins with “the sculpted cowl aft of the nose, continuing rearward in an arc across the hood, descending rearward to amplify the wide, aggressive rear track.” In addition, the design includes 22 inch Constellation wheels comprised of forged aluminum, which supports the purposeful, fluid stance of the Amaris.
The Amaris also features a more powerful evolution of the EREV powertrain, which includes a larger, turbocharged four-cylinder ICE generator. This enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 mph is estimated at less than 3.5 seconds, culminating with an estimated top speed of 165 mph.
The Amaris is expected to begin production by the end of 2026.
