Maybe more so as the sun sparkles and flickers off the Karma's Diamond Dust paint out here on the infield of this deserted racetrack. This bodes well for the certain appearance of the open-topped and equally gorgeous Fisker Sunset next year - and possibly a shooting brake version à la Ferrari FF not long after that.

Looking around - and under - the cars (these are early production validation models flown in from the factory in Finland where they are made alongside Porsche Boxsters and Caymans), it's immediately clear why the team looks so confident. The exterior fit and finish is excellent - all narrow gaps, perfectly matched lines and super-lustrous paint. Not a ripple or piece of loose trim in sight. The underside of the car looks equally tidy, the entire surface from the rear of the front wheel arches back to the back of the car being completely flat and smooth. This all helps the Karma achieve a Cd of 0.31, which isn't stellar but definitely in the ballpark.

To give you some sense of the Karma's scale, it's the same length as a Mercedes-Benz CLS with the wheelbase of an S-Class. Yet it's only the height of a Porsche 911 and is 5cm wider than a Panamera. So it's low, wide - very wide - with a long wheelbase for its overall size. If those numbers add up to a GT rather than a four-door luxury saloon, that's no mistake. Because that's just how the aluminium space-framed and bodied Karma looks when you get up close to it. It's like the solar-roofed concept for the next Aston Martin Rapide or Maserati Quattroporte that you can buy today.
