The new GS-6 is essentially a twin of the Revero GT. Though priced more affordably, it is an extremely rare sight in Canada. The powertrain consists of a turbocharged 1.5-litre engine, two rear electric motors and a 28-kWh high-voltage battery. Total system output amounts to 536 horsepower, while EV range is officially rated at 98 kilometres. Karma plans to add a fully electric variant called GSe-6 travelling up to about 480 kilometres.
