Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

These are two videos we took during my test drive. The first one starts at the beginning of the test drive and goes for about 6 minutes when my camera shut down for some unknown reason. You can clearly hear "The Noise" in this video as I accelerate onto the US 101S. The traffic was on the heavy side so I could not do a very long drag race, but you can get a sense for the acceleration of the car. The Fisker rep claimed to be a former indy driver and gave some useful commentary along the way. I switched from Stealth to Sport mode several times during this clip and the only indication is a chime and change in the display.

The second clip is a lot shorter and comes from near the end of the test drive and is taken with an iphone. We are in Stealth mode for the full duration of this clip.

Hope this is helpful.

Fabulist,

The links don't work even when I cut them and paste them. I look forward to seeing the videos, and thanks for the review.

I didn't really near any ICE noise at all when you were in Sport mode. Just once I kinda heard something. Mostly just heard the noisy zoom on that camera Wink

That was very informative. I appreciate your sharing that with us. It seemed like you had more info than the rep.

That first video is particularly useful, thanks.

I'd recommend you edit the title on youtube to include "Karma" (not just "Fisker") so that it shows up on youtube searches for "fisker karma"...

Thanks for the clips! I recognized the engine noise when you went on 101.

Btw it would be great if the display switched from white background to black at night! Since ts just software, hopefully they'll give s the option!

Thanks, Fab - awesome videos. The engine noise was fairly loud at its peak, but the car seems very quiet in stealth... 2 questions:
1. How fast did it feel in stealth? Since most of the driving is in town, o-60 seems less relevant, it is the 0-30 that matters most of the time. In a way just like the high performance diesel (BMW 335d) - slower to 60 than the 335xi, but feels quicker (I have a 335xi, drove the diesel and was amaized).
2. I wonder what happens when your battery is low at highway speeds - will it be the background sort of annoying but tolerable engine noise or will it be the high pitched full-power on? I guess we have to wait on that one...
