Karma Automotive has started a new bespoke programme with a single, very loud car. The Karma Eximius 1, shown at the 2026 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas on 31 October, is a one-off four-seat Revero with a 6.2-litre V8 plug-in series hybrid and a claimed 1,195 hp. Karma quotes 0–60 mph in 2.7 seconds, has not disclosed the price, and will deliver the car to its unnamed owner in 2027 (Motor1, The EV Report).

What Is the Karma Eximius 1?
Eximius is Karma’s new top-level bespoke programme, one step above its Studio personalisation service. Clients can change a car’s body, performance and powertrain. The Eximius 1 is the first result, built on the Revero plug-in series-hybrid sedan for one client whom Karma has not named (The EV Report).
“The Eximius program effectively deletes the word ‘no’ from conversations about what’s possible,” said Karma president and CEO Marques McCammon (Motor1).
Karma Eximius 1 Specs
The standard Revero uses a small petrol engine as a generator for its electric drive. In the Eximius 1, a 6.2-litre V8 takes its place in the same plug-in series-hybrid architecture. Karma quotes 1,195 hp in total, with 550 hp from the engine and 645 hp from the battery pack, and calls it “the most powerful Plug-in Series Hybrid powertrain and vehicle ever developed”. Some outlets report around 1,212 hp, so the final figure may still change (Motor1).

Karma has not published torque, battery capacity, electric range or weight. The car is still in development, so the performance figures are claims, not test results.
Design: Wider, Carbon and Track-Ready
Wheel-arch extensions make the body nearly two inches wider than a standard Revero. Every panel except the outer skin is pre-impregnated carbon fibre, and the car sits on 21-inch satin-black magnesium centre-lock wheels. Carbon-ceramic brakes with two-piece slotted discs and Öhlins semi-active dampers complete a set-up that Karma says is built for track use as well as the road (The EV Report).
Price and Delivery
Karma has not disclosed what the client paid. There is only one Eximius 1, and Karma says it will be delivered in 2027. The programme itself is open to other clients. Separately, Karma’s Gyesera Grand Coupe, another four-seat plug-in series hybrid, reaches US dealers in December 2026 (The EV Report).
Batman Garage Verdict
A V8 in a series hybrid is an unusual idea, because the engine mainly makes electricity rather than driving the wheels directly. If Karma delivers the claimed 1,195 hp in a four-seat car, the Eximius 1 will be one of the most powerful sedans ever built. Until then, the numbers are promises from a car still in development.
