VL had obtained 20 Karma "gliders" from Fisker Automotive, and reported 100 orders by May 2013.
[4] Sales of the Destino were originally scheduled to commence in the second half of 2013, but the start was pushed back to 2014,[5] due to the ongoing restructuring of Fisker.
[6] The Destino retained the Karma interior[7] and most exterior panels, but removed the Karma's electric motor and battery system, and installed a General Motors LS9 6.2-litre V-8 gasoline engine producing 638 hp (476 kW; 647 PS) and 604 lbf·ft (819 N·m) of torque fitted with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The 6.2-litre (6162 cc) V8 supercharged LS9 engine was front mid-mounted and powered the rear wheels.
Producing 638 hp at 6,500 rpm and torque of 604 lb-ft (819 Nm) at 3,800 rpm, the Destino was claimed to accelerate 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 200 mph.
