Karma unveils Eximius 1, a one-off plug-in hybrid track car with nearly 1,200 hp

Story So Far

Karma Automotive introduced Eximius, a bespoke-vehicle program, and unveiled its first creation, Eximius 1, at the 2026 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas on October 31. The four-seat, track-focused car is a client commission based on the Revero and remains in development for an unnamed owner. Karma says delivery is planned for 2027.

The planned plug-in series-hybrid powertrain combines a 6.2-litre V8 generator rated at 550 hp with a battery rated at 645 hp, for nearly 1,200 hp in total. Karma claims a 0–60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and estimates a top speed above 200 mph. The company says the car will use carbon-ceramic brakes, two-piece slotted rotors and Öhlins semi-active suspension.

Karma describes extensive pre-impregnated carbon-fibre construction, wheel-arch extensions that make the car 50mm wider, and 21-inch magnesium centre-lock wheels. The exterior also carries a full-width rear GT wing and a large diffuser. Inside are carbon-fibre Recaro bucket seats, blue Alcantara and Italian leather, billet-aluminium pedals and a simplified centre console.

Eximius is a personalization program, not a standard retail model announced for general sale. Karma says clients can work with its design and engineering teams to change bodywork, powertrain and performance; the company plans a maximum of nine bespoke vehicles based on each series-production model. It has not announced a price or public order availability for Eximius 1.
