AMELIA ISLAND, Fla., February 29, 2024 – Two major global automotive debuts will take place at The Amelia on Saturday, March 2, 2024. Partners Chrysler and Karma Automotive will bookend a morning of presentations featuring more than eight automotive partners.

The Chrysler Halcyon exemplifies innovative mobility solutions that embrace technology and offer value to customers while fostering sustainability and delivering “Harmony in Motion.” The Chrysler Halcyon Concept leans into a fully electric tomorrow through innovative technology suites from Stellantis that integrate with simple and pure aerodynamic design and a seamless, connected and immersive cockpit experience.

The Karma Automotive Gyesera (10:00 a.m.ET)

The Karma Gyesera, the first American-built, ultra-luxury fully electric sedan, will make its world debut at The Amelia.  Karma, based in Irvine, Calif., with a dealer network that includes North America, Europe, South Africa and the Middle East, selected The Amelia to introduce the company’s first all-electric vehicle to an East Coast audience.

The Gyesera has a 250-mile range, goes 0-60 in under four seconds and the interior features an 11.6 center console infotainment screen. The Gyesera debut follows the November 2023 introduction of the Karma Kaveya, a super coupe GT with an all-wheel drive version that tops 180 mph.
