Karma Eximius: The Pinnacle of Bespoke

Karma Automotive believes in the power of a singular vision. A vision that inspires us to push beyond expectations and build a vehicle that redefines everything you know about our brand. A vision that incentivizes rarity, performance, and personal expression.

At Concours at Wynn Las Vegas 2026, we revealed our Eximius bespoke vehicle program: a window to new possibilities beyond the extensive options for personalization offered through our Studio program. Eximius clients may modify the vehicle’s body, performance, and powertrain, collaborating with our design and engineering teams to build a One-of-One statement that will never be repeated.

To prove our intent to the world, we simultaneously unveiled the very first Eximius commission: Eximius 1, a menacing, track-only four-seater created in collaboration with an elite client who has yet to be revealed. Development of Eximius 1 is ongoing: in its next phase, Eximius 1 will be fitted with an extreme Plug-in Series Hybrid powertrain that, utilizing a 6.2-liter V8 ICE as a generator, is anticipated to deliver nearly 1,200 HP, a 0-60 time of 2.7 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 200 MPH (est.). As these parameters would demand, “Eximius 1” will be equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes, two-piece slotted brake rotors, and Öhlins semi-active suspension.

A masterclass of bespoke craftsmanship, Eximius 1 defies the notion that Plug-in Series Hybrid powertrains cannot deliver extreme performance and takes a whole new approach to a day at the track.

The Best of Both Worlds

Eximius 1 will bring together the character of a performance-tuned V8 with the instant response of electric propulsion. Its Plug-in Series Hybrid architecture will unite an axial-flux generator and a high-output battery to make up to nearly 1,200 HP of combined power available.

The result will be a distinctive approach to high performance: electrified power delivery, purposeful engineering, and a driving experience designed around the demands of the circuit.

Form Follows Force

Eximius 1 makes its intentions unmistakable. A wider stance, pronounced aerodynamic surfaces, and exposed carbon fiber give the vehicle a powerful visual presence, exhibiting the muscularity and eye-popping strength of a superhero.

Every panel, excluding the body surface outer, is constructed of pre-impregnated carbon fiber. The bodywork, expanded by 50 MM, is defined by exposed carbon fiber wheel arch extensions, sculpted rockers, and floating aerodynamic elements that emphasize the width and planted stance of the vehicle.

An extreme interpretation of Karma’s signature Comet Line, inspired by Halley’s Comet as it streaks across the evening sky, runs across the hood, drawing the eye through the vehicle’s central design axis. Gloss-finished exposed carbon fiber on the hood, roof, decklid, and rear wing adds depth and contrast, while a distinctive carbon fiber-to-Borealis Blue paint fade introduces a technical finish that rewards closer inspection.

At the front, an aggressive fascia and prominent side intakes establish a purposeful expression. The signature lighting graphic reinterprets Karma’s signature Target Acquisition Lighting, rotating it 45º to create an “><” motif that carries through to the rear, where “><”-shaped lamps integrate into the wing and lower rear fascia.

The rear is anchored by substantial air vent pods, a dominant diffuser, and a full-width GT wing designed to support high-speed stability and downforce.

Eximius 1’s 21″ Magnesium wheels, finished in satin black and accented by four white target spokes, complete the composition, reducing rotating and unsprung mass. Twin exhaust tips aft of the front wheels announce the fearsome new powertrain.

The bespoke white livery emphasizes the vehicle’s defining surfaces, including the Comet Line, exposed carbon fiber, and personalized number five graphic, the latter of which is of particular importance to the commissioning client.

A Cockpit with Intent

The interior of Eximius 1 is centered around the experience of driving. Exposed carbon fiber, purposeful ergonomics, and a distinctive blue material palette create an environment that feels technical, athletic, and unmistakably personal.

Carbon fiber Recaro bucket seats anchor the front cabin, with custom-trimmed seat pads that feature blue Alcantara and blue Italian leather with Moondust Alcantara upper sections. Oversized perforations reveal the contrasting material beneath, introducing depth and texture throughout the seating surfaces.

The carbon fiber treatment continues across the dashboard, center console, steering wheel, and doors, all four of which are manufactured in exposed carbon fiber for aesthetics and weight-savings. A blue-tinted carbon fiber fade adds another layer of visual intrigue, connecting the interior to the exterior’s technical finish.

Following a race-inspired design, the center console of Eximius 1 is simplified to include the essentials only: the PRND gear selector, window switches, key fob holder, and emergency kill switch. Individual armrests define separate spaces for driver and passenger, while the reimagined instrument panel incorporates billet aluminum HVAC vents.

A flat-bottom steering wheel, finished in carbon fiber and Alcantara, provides a purposeful point of contact. Billet machined aluminum pedals, including a dedicated dead pedal, further support the driver’s position under demanding braking.

At the rear, the redesigned seating environment echoes the front cabin. A dedicated rear-console mount secures a bespoke carbon fiber racing helmet, sized to its owner’s requirements.

Every material, surface, and control point contributes to a cohesive environment, where personal expression meets the functional demands of performance driving.
