Manufacturer Press Release
|
The BMW 6 Series 650Ci Coupe provides the base vehicle architecture for the Fisker Latigo CS. Signature Fisker cues bring a new gravitas and balance to the luxury sports coupe ? it is understated elegance at its best. As in the Fisker Tramonto, all electronic, telematic and safety systems remain untouched from the original manufacturer, and every original vehicle option is available.
The Fisker Latigo CS 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 you choose a BMW M6 as your base architecture.
Fisker Latigo CS Design
The Latigo CS evidences signature Fisker style, with details that can only be done by hand. ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çHand craftsmanship is at the forefront of this coachbuild design. Coachbuilding is an art form,¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢ç explains Henrik Fisker, CEO Fisker Coachbuild. ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çWe can deliver what many auto enthusiasts have been seeking ? attention to detail which complements the already proven performance.¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u
Fisker Coachbuild works with a hand-picked team of classic car body builders, wheelers, panel beaters, wing makers, and fender manufacturers who are highly skilled in their work with aluminum, steel, stainless steel, carbon fiber and magnesium alloy. ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çHenrik and I have a long, proven history of partnership in various capacities and companies,¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u notes Bernhard Koehler, COO of Fisker Coachbuild. ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çThat, combined with the talent, dedication and hard work of every member of our team, has enabled us to bring these cars to life in just 9 months.¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u
This is design that is felt as well as seen. The lines of the car bear a tension ? like an arrow pulled back in the bow. C-pillars have been redesigned to flow in a more sculptured manner, sitting solidly over rear wheels. Dimensions front and rear have been shortened. A sculptured power dome highlights the hood. Overall, brilliantly balanced proportions lend a solid, unmistakable presence to the Fisker Latigo CS, while advanced aerodynamic sculpting creates a shape that is virtually invisible to the air.
Latigo CS Interior Design
Inside the Fisker Latigo CS you see the true art form of custom coachbuild craftsmanship. Interior fit and finish are distinctive. The touch of the finest materials can be felt everywhere. And sumptuous, hand-stitched leather surrounds. Fisker Coachbuild has partnered with Distinctive Industries, the American-based leather interior experts, to produce a high-performance, high-luxury environment that is deceptively
spacious. Every technological feature remains intact, including the home-theater quality Logic7 audio system and the optional heads-up display.
The creature comforts of the base architecture are all still available ? and then some. A myriad of hand-crafted upgrades creates a new level of luxury you¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?ll be sure to notice.
¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çThe focus was on creating an environment that customers will appreciate as both a powerhouse and a sanctuary,¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u says Cristina Cheever, Fisker Coachbuild¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s Vice President, Marketing and Communications. ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çThe experience is organic, and that includes top-quality materials with a natural feel.¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u
Production commences in April 2006, just about a year after the company began, and will be limited to 150 examples so sightings of the 2006 Fisker Latigo CS will always be a rarity.
