Making its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week is a hybrid car with a near-supercar performance – the Fisker Karma hybrid.

Despite being powered by a 394bhp hybrid motor, it even beat the Toyota Prius’ emissions record of 89g/km of CO2 with its own 83g/km of CO2.

The Fisker Karma hybrid will soon invade the four-door sports car segment that is soon to be populated by the Aston Rapide and Porsche Panamera. One of the cleanest cars ever built, the Karma will hit 60mph in less than six seconds and has a top speed of 125mph. The car has a pure-electric range of around 50 miles and can return 100mpg and has a 620-mile range when used in hybrid mode.

It's a very desirable car, especially if the performance pans out. It's too bad about that smug-sounding model name.

None of these articles ever give a ballpark price. Why is that? It may be a little cleaner but if nobody can afford it, what good does it do?

$80,000? At that price, I'm sure this car will make all the difference to the world.
