Fisker Tramonto and Latigo CS

Fisker Tramonto and Latigo

At the Frankfurt Motor Show Fisker Coachbuild unveiled two coachbuild designs, the Tramonto and the Latigo CS sportcars. For both the models production will start in April 2006.

Fisker Tramonto

The Fisker Tramonto is a two-seat, convertible sports car based on the architecture of the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG. All of the Mercedes-Benz technological innovations, from the power-retractable hardtop to Active Body Control (ABC), remain untouched – as do safety systems, including crumple zones and airbags.

At the same time, the Tramonto features an exclusive and distinctive style: compared to its original platform, it is reproportioned with a shorter back end, a longer-looking hood line with a pronounced power dome, and no visual bumpers.

“We are thrilled that we have been able to follow our gut feelings with Fisker Coachbuild. We have put all of our experience, energy and passion towards delivering cars that speak straight from the heart,” explains Henrik Fisker, CEO of Fisker Coachbuild.
“For Fisker Coachbuild, it is all about emotion and design excellence”.

Handcrafted by a dedicated AMG technician, the 5.5-liter, 24-valve V8 features forged aluminum pistons, a precision-balanced crankshaft and an ultra-efficient liquidto-air intercooler delivering 493 bhp and 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.

For those who crave even more performance, a Performance Plus package is also available: a 610-bhp supercharged 5.5-liter V8 which delivers a 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, created by Fisker in partnership with Kleeman, the world’s leader in Kompressor (supercharger) technology for Mercedes-Benz.

Fisker Latigo CS

The BMW 6 Series 650Ci Coupe provides the base vehicle architecture for the Fisker Latigo CS.

As in the Tramonto, all electronic, telematic and safety systems remain untouched - and every vehicle option is customizable.

The Fiker Latigo is currently nearing production status, so final technical details are still in flux.
Engine specifications call for a standard 32-valve, 4.8-liter V8 pumping 367 horsepower, and an optional V10 that generates over 550 horsepower if the BMW M6 is choosen as the base architecture.
In the arrow-like shape, the C-pillars have been redesigned to flow in a more sculptured manner, sitting solidly over the rear wheel. Front and rear dimensions have both been
shortened, and a sculptured power dome highlights the hood.

Production of both designs will be limited to 150 apiece. Production will commence in April 2006 – just over one year after the company opened its doors – enabling enthusiasts across the globe to experience coachbuild redefined.
