One lap only: Fisker Karma takes on Laguna Seca in public driving debut [w/VIDEO]

The world driving debut of the Fisker Karma happened at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on Saturday. Our compadres at Autoblog were snapping photos of the glut of luxury cars all weekend long, but almost missed the Karma. How could you miss a car like this? Well, it drove around the corner so silent they didn't hear it coming and then is only made one lap. The original plan was to sent the Karma around twice. Still, quick shutter release fingers mean we have a few images of the drive to share with you. Check out the Karma on the track in the gallery below along with a shot of the car at Concorso Italiano over the weekend then hit the jump for the sights and sounds of a luxurious Laguna Seca lap from behind the wheel.

UPDATE: The Karma hit 100 mph and used no gas during the lap.
