2020 Karma Revero GT PHEV Revealed With 535 Horsepower

• https://insideevs.com, BY ADRIAN PADEANU

The updated Karma Revero has arrived at Auto Shanghai 2019 with a familiar design, a much-improved powertrain, and the "GT" suffix. Essentially an updated variant of the Fisker Karma, the Revero hit the market in 2016 and now it's ready for an update bringing BMW engineering into the mix to replace the 2.0-liter GM engine.

The sporty luxury sedan uses a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine of Bavarian origins to power the on-board electric generator. The total output from the "world-class electric drive system" with dual electric motors now stands at an impressive 535 horsepower (up from the previous 403 hp) and 550 pound-feet (746 Nm) of torque. It's enough electric punch for a sprint to 60 mph (96 kph) in only four and a half seconds or 0.9s quicker than before, en route to an electronically limited top speed of 125 mph (201 kph).
