CARMEL VALLEY, Calif. , Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, Karma Automotive celebrates two Global Premieres: the Karma Ivara "GT-UV" Design Study, and the Karma Kaveya super coupe with production-ready interior.
Together these vehicles telegraph the brilliant future of California's first and only ultra-luxury automaker. Further, Karma Automotive has announced that the Karma Kaveya will be the first vehicle to be produced resulting from its bilateral collaboration with Intel Automotive. Due in 2026 with butterfly-doors and up to 1,000HP of pure electric power, Kaveya is expected to be the globe's first production vehicle built upon Software-Defined Vehicle Architecture (SDVA), co-developed with Intel Automotive, which will underpin all Karma vehicles from the Kaveya onward.
In addition to deploying SDVA throughout its upcoming model range, together with Intel Automotive, Karma Automotive will benchmark, demonstrate and validate critical concepts for the advancement of open standards for SDVA that can be shared openly and commercially to support the transformation of the broader automotive industry. " Auburn , Duesenberg, and Packard are Karma Automotive's inspiration because they harken back to an era we aim to repeat, an era when American ultra-luxury set the benchmark for the world, and when the steep prices they commanded were justified not only by the beauty and speed of their cars, but also their brains and engineering prowess found.
