Introducing 2012 Fisker Karma Hybrid Luxury Sport Car
This is a very unique car, with a most unique engine sound. We recorded in Gas Mode first, onboard only, “highway traveling to recording location” This part has the sound of the smooth gas engine, with accelerates, constant driving, and stops on signs.
