A few weeks ago, Karma Automotive unveiled its new dedicated design studio at its global headquarters in Irvine, California. It's part of a bigger investment of more than $10 million, which includes a new dynamometer test facility and conference center.

It's another sign that Karma is quickly expanding on many fronts - its presence in North America and globally, as well as in terms of new models and tech.

According to Karma, the company will offer design services also to OEMs and startups:

"The 12,000-square-foot design studio represents a multimillion-dollar investment and underscores Karma’s efforts to enhance and grow its design services. The new studio strengthens the company’s design capabilities as it readies itself for both future Karma design projects and those on behalf of other OEMs and startups. The new business unit is also tasked with offering luxury-lifestyle design services beyond automotive and developing and guarding the unique Karma’s design language."

"The new studio is designed to offer Karma’s signature luxury offerings to others and features a customization room for clients to tailor jewels, colors and materials to their unique specifications, in addition to a trim shop. A floor-to-ceiling power wall provides designers the opportunity to show full-scale concepts digitally, while clay modeling is completed on a new surface plate and state-of-the-art measuring towers."
