Karma Automotive has shared details of its new 1,085bhp electric vehicle platform that could underpin high-performance cars of the future.
The American company’s newest E-Flex Platform uses a dual-motor set-up to provide four-wheel drive, with an astonishing claimed torque output of 14,000Nm.
That would contribute to a targeted sub-two-second 0-60mph time.

“The goal of all of Karma’s E-Flex platforms is to offer our partners a multitude of electric mobility solutions with different drive motor systems and battery pack variants; our High-Performance E-Flex platform is among the most premium of these configurations, offering unprecedented performance results.”
