Fisker Karma
A Fisker Karma went to the highest bidder at the charity auction in Camden’s renowned Round House performing arts venue for the price of £140,000 or €159,770 (US$220,680). This is the first Fisker Karma to be sold in the United Kingdom. The Karma, an electric car with expanded range (EVer), was the star lot at the 2011 Pratham UK Gala, selling for an amazing £140,000, more than twice its market value. The proceeds from the sale will go towards financing various programs run by the charitable organization.
The successful bidder’s vehicle will have a special plaque signed by Henrik Fisker, Fisker Automotive's CEO and co-founder. Pratham UK is an offshore chapter of the children’s charity established in Mumbai by UNICEF in 1994. Its objective is to make sure that every child in India gets the chance to go to school and get an education. Since its creation, the organization has assisted more than 36 million Indian children with its literacy crusade.
The auction produced more than £870,000 or €991,800 (US$1,371,120), which will help finance Pratham programs like "Read India", a program that seeks to boost the reading and fundamental arithmetic skills of children in rural areas. Intended to echo Fisker’s paradigm of Uncompromised Responsible Luxury™, the Fisker Karma is the first American-designed and engineered high-class automobile particularly designed to appeal to international markets. It is the only upscale sedan on earth that satisfies future fuel consumption and emission specifications, making it well suited for any worldwide city.
