Kleiner Perkins Invests in Fisker Automotive

As previously stated, Fisker Automotive designs the most beautiful hybrids in the world. Hands down. Evidently the crew at Kleiner feels the same way and has handed over some cash as part of a multi-million dollar second round of funding for the automaker.

Fisker created a ton of press for itself at the recent Detroit Auto Show and plans to begin manufacturing by the end of 2009 and selling units by 2010. The $80,000 Karma has been compared to the Maserati Quattroporte, but unlike the Maserati, it can go up to 50 miles on battery power before switching to hybrid mode.
