New green car developed using Quantum Technologies

In 2008 many of the top motor shows were dominated by green cars and this year looks to be no different with Fisker Automotive planning to debut a new vehicle at the event.

The manufacturer, which bills itself as a ‘green American premium sports car company’ will be taking the wraps off the Fisker Karma S, which will be powered by a Q-DRIVE powertrain that has been developed in co-operation with Quantum Technologies.The Q-DRIVE technology will give the vehicle a 50 mile range on a single charge to its lithium-ion battery pack. However, there is no sacrifice of power as the vehicle is capable of up to 403 horsepower from two electric motors.

The company is based in Irvine, California, and has also opened up an engineering centre in Pontiac in an effort to streamline its production process.It promises to be an interesting few weeks for the manufacturer, which will announce details of the Karma S at a news conference in the Cobo Centre on January 12.
