Karma Amaris Brings EV Power And GT Soul Together

Karma Automotive is stepping into new territory with the reveal of its first-ever two-door coupe—the striking new Amaris. Slated to go into production in late 2026, this sleek machine blends dramatic styling with a unique twist on electrification, thanks to Karma’s signature Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) powertrain.

While the Amaris shares its underpinnings with the upcoming Gyesera sedan, it has a personality all its own. Upward-swinging swan doors make a dramatic entrance every time, while Americana-style side exhausts nod to old-school muscle with a futuristic flair.

The Amaris' design achieves a harmonious blend of elegance and aggression. A long dash-to-axle ratio, wide fenders, and sculpted body lines hint at Aston Martin vibes, but with a sharper, more modern edge. Around back, a low-slung roofline flows into a bold tail section, capped by a unique rear bumper design exclusive to the Karma Amaris.

Adding to the flair are new 22-inch forged aluminum “Constellation” wheels, wrapped in meaty rubber for a planted stance. The body panels are crafted from lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum, keeping weight down while turning heads.

Under the hood, the Amaris maintains Karma's EREV setup, which is primarily electric and utilizes a turbocharged four-cylinder engine as a range-extending generator. It’s a step up from the old Revero’s smaller 1.5-liter three-cylinder, though Karma’s keeping full specs under wraps for now.

Performance won’t disappoint. Karma says the Amaris will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 165 mph—impressive figures for a luxury GT that also promises long-distance cruising without the usual EV range anxiety.

The coupe is built on Karma’s aluminum spaceframe chassis, the same architecture underpinning the next-gen Gyesera. That car, originally planned as a full EV, will now also go the EREV route when it launches in 2025—a move that shows Karma is recalibrating to meet shifting market demands. High-end consumers increasingly view EREVs as the ideal balance between EV performance and practicality.

Karma’s not stopping here. The all-electric Kaveya flagship coupe has been pushed to 2027, while the Ivara GT-UV crossover—which could come as either a pure EV or a plug-in hybrid—is also on the horizon for the same year.

Marques McCammon, the president of Karma Automotive, expressed his belief that the market truly needs the freedom to refuel with either gasoline or electricity. The Amaris coupe and Gyesera sedan are just the beginning—they’re delivering EV-level performance with none of the compromise.
