" Alongside the debut of the production Karma sedan, Fisker Automotive took the wraps off a 2-door version, the Karma S or Sunset, which features a 3-piece retractable hardtop. The 4-seat Karma S concept employs the same aluminum space-frame architecture as the sedan along with the Q-Drive hybrid powertrain.   Q-Drive, developed with Quantum Technologies, combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter 260-bhp 4-cylinder engine supplied by GM with a lithium-ion battery pack. With two electric motors, the new hybrid drivetrain can produce 403 bhp, and the car has a 50-mile pure electric range before the engine is needed.   The Karma S has a nose similar to the sedan&amp;#039;s, although the distinctive front opening is cleaner without the 4-door&amp;#039;s busy grille work. The body has a Coke bottle shape that flows through a tight waist and flares out to muscular rear haunches. When viewed from the rear with the power top in place, the Karma S bears a striking resemblance to the Mercedes SL, thanks to the steeply raked C-pillars.   Henrik Fisker, the firm&amp;#039;s founder and CEO, says the concept&amp;#039;s purpose is to demonstrate that there are other models coming in the range and that &amp;quot;our objective is to create a singular design language and heritage around our state-of-the-art Q-Drive powertrain.&amp;quot; While the sedan is slated to go on sale in November as a 2010 model, no firm date has been given for the launch of the Karma S retractable hardtop.
