05/10/2008   , Up until now, the Fisker Karma hasn’t really been much more than a pretty face to go along with a promise. That changes today, thanks to a spy photographer who was lucky enough to catch the upcoming plug-in hybrid sedan out testing in California. Lawsuits often seem to have a dampening effect on enthusiasm, so it’s good to see the Karma out and about. We can clearly see that the body is the same shape as what we all saw at its introduction earlier this year in Detroit. What we don’t know yet is what’s powering those shapely curves down the road. The first inclination from Autocar is that a Volkswagen 1.4-liter four-banger will provide power to the lithium ion batteries via a generator, but we really can’t be sure what’s being tested. Still, given the amount of electric know-how that Quantum Technologies, the electric powertrain supplier to Fisker, already has, we wouldn’t be too surprised if something close to final-spec components were being run through their paces.

UPDATE: For what it’s worth, these photos were not captured by a photographer hiding in the bushes. They were apparently actually put out by Fisker’s Beverly Hills PR agency Rogers & Cowan. We still don’t know anything about the mechanicals of the car in question, only that Fisker is trying to generate some buzz.
