History

The GTE is based on the Karma Revero GT model (a derivative of the Fisker Karma).[2] Similarly to it, it adopted the characteristic proportions of the oblong bonnet, massive wheel arches and a short rear overhang. The front apron has a large imitation of the air intake in the shape of a rounded hexagon, while the headlights took the form of aggressively stylized.[3] The GTE was released in 2020 in a limited series of 25 copies. The price per unit is approximately US$1.2 million.[4]
