Fisker Automotive has won a 2009 Spark Design and Architecture Award for its Karma plug-in hybrid electric car.
California-based Fisker Automotive developed the Karma on the belief that eco-friendly cars do not have to sacrifice power, style or performance.
The four-door Karma features exotic sports car looks, will go 0 to 60 mph in six seconds and has a top speed of 125 mph, but it can still achieve an annual average of 100 mpg.
"Being recognized by the prestigious judges at the Spark Award competition is really something to be proud of," said Henrik Fisker, Fisker Automotive CEO and design director.
"The entire Fisker Automotive team and I are honored."
"Fisker Automotive has brought excitement to the new, much-needed category of green vehicles," commented Peter Kuchnicki, executive director of Spark Awards.
"With a design like the Karma, the future of driving indeed looks bright."
