"Karma has experienced its share of highs and lows during the past 10 years. I'm intent on fulfilling Karma's true potential," says Karma President Marques McCammon, who joined the automaker in March. "I was tasked with remaking the company, and today is only the first step toward establishing Karma as a high image marque – America's ultra-luxury vehicle.

"We're going to travel a path unlike other car companies. We are reintroducing the Karma brand and a vehicle lineup that is designed to age gracefully. We're also investing in technologies that will separate our vehicles from the masses, creating new and bespoke experiences that put the driver first and the technology in its rightful place as a supporting character.


"Undoubtedly, our plan is aggressive. After rolling out our initial new vehicles beginning in Q3 2024, we will debut new products and concepts every six months."

The Karma design team is led by Vice President Global Design Michelle Christensen, a 20-year industry veteran who previously directed the 2017 remodel of the award-winning Acura NSX supercar.

"At Acura, the brand heritage was already established," says Christensen. "One of the most exciting challenges at Karma has been rebranding the company and giving it new life.


"Karma has such amazing potential, which Marques is intent on pursuing at hyper-speed. Designing vehicles – especially high-end exotic vehicles – historically takes years. But thanks to high-tech collaboration tools, a newfound team alignment on all levels of the company, and Marques's introduction of low volume production-techniques, it's taken eight months to conceptualize three gorgeous low, long, fast representations of our new Karma identity, which are futuristic, yet beautifully timeless."
