Default What the heck is a Fisker?

A "Fisker Latigo" is parked in one the guest parking spots at my condo. Has a V10 emblem on the side. Nice looking car, but I've never heard of these before. It's got a temporary registration tag on it, and it looks brand new. Below the stereo on the dash there's a tag that says "Number 1 of 150". What is this thing?

a rebodied MB SL or BMW 6 series car by Henrik Fisker, who designed any number of Aston's the BMW Z8 and so on.

Cool looking cars but not sure his business model is that GREAT.

I agree, when is making an M6 look like a Vantage a good business model?

They are based here in O.C. He is now working on a hybrid and did some work with Tesla and is now tied up in a lawsuit.

The man designed some pretty sexy interiors in his cars. Mostly in full aniline leather which require a lot of maintenance, but again, very sexy

Any body changes to an M6 is an improvement. A Vantage is a quantum leap.

The Latigo is a thoroughly revised/rebodied BMW 6-series (M6). A very exclusive automobile, that should be as reliable as a standard M6.

You can find lots of pictures here:

AFAIK Hendrik Fisker is an ex Aston Martin designer.

True on that. The interior is really, really nice. I like the body, but the interior is downright impressive.

Still parked in the guest space...
