The Fisker bloodline refused to die, and it just came back swinging. Karma Automotive, the brand that rose from the ashes of Henrik Fisker’s original company, has pulled the covers off the 2027 Gyesera Grand Coupe at Monterey Car Week. It starts at $139,995, which is roughly ₹1.2 crore in a straight conversion, though it is not headed to India. For that money you get 566 horsepower, a body that looks like a Porsche Taycan went to finishing school, and one clever trick that kills range anxiety dead.
Here is why you should care even if you will never buy one: the Gyesera is not a pure EV, and it is not a normal hybrid either. It is an EREV, and that powertrain is the most interesting idea in the car world right now.
What EREV actually means
EREV stands for Extended-Range Electric Vehicle. In plain English: electric motors alone spin the wheels, so it drives like an EV, silent and instantly punchy. But there is also a small petrol engine on board that never touches the wheels. Its only job is to act as a generator, quietly topping up the battery when it runs low. So you get the smoothness of an electric car without ever hunting for a charging station on a long drive. Plug it in at home if you want, or just fill the tank. No charger, no panic.
Karma quotes 566 hp and 546 lb-ft of torque. Torque is the twisting force that shoves you back in your seat off the line, and there is plenty of it here. That is enough for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in under 3.7 seconds. Karma has not published the electric-only range or the total range yet, which is the one big blank on the spec sheet for now.
The numbers that matter

The comeback nobody expected
The Gyesera replaces the Karma Revero, and here is the kicker: it undercuts that outgoing car by a full $35,000. A cheaper, more powerful flagship is not how struggling boutique brands usually behave, and it signals Karma is genuinely swinging for the fences. The Grand Coupe is the first of a whole new family, with the Amaris GT slated for 2028 and the Kaveya Super Coupe for 2029.
Under the skin it is proper exotic-car stuff: a high-strength aluminium space frame wrapped in carbon-fibre-reinforced panels, the same lightweight recipe used by cars costing several times as much. Inside, it seats four in a low-slung cabin with a wraparound dash. Orders are already open through Karma’s online configurator, and the first cars reach dealers in December 2026.
The verdict: the Gyesera probably will not sell in huge numbers, but its EREV heart is the real headline. This is exactly the kind of no-compromise electric driving that could work brilliantly in markets like India, where charging infrastructure is still catching up.
No, it is not coming here. But the idea behind it, an electric car that carries its own backup power plant, is one every enthusiast should keep an eye on. The Fisker story looked finished. Turns out it was just idling.
