The Fisker Karma Sunset PHEV hardtop convertible coupe was named 2009 Production Preview Concept of the Year, part of the North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards.
The Production Preview category is for vehicles based on a model that has already been announced or is planned for production. The Fisker Karma Sunset was unveiled to rave reviews in January at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Based on the same architecture and driven by the same Q-DRIVE hybrid electric powertrain as the Fisker Karma -- scheduled to be the world's first commercially available Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) -- the Sunset's hardtop convertible coupe configuration gives it the perfect blend of style, sportiness and efficiency. It will be available in 2011 through Fisker's global retail network.
