2006 Fisker Tramonto


Is it a Jag, is it an Aston, NO its a Fisker Tramonto...
This rear wheeled 5.5ltr V8 supercharged engine pulls 0-100 in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 325km/hr which is electronically limited with an output of 455kw. Earlier in the year a small group of international investors hired a handful of craftsmen, rented a workshop and began construction of what you see above and below. They teamed with kleeman to produce a custom made ECU program, redesigned pulley wheel and supersoft camshafts all to maximise engine output. The enlarged stainless steel tubular exhaust headers, down pipes & 70 mm dual exhaust system with four steel cats allow for freer breathing…a system which is further enhanced with Kleemann 120-cell metal catalysts for maximum performance gain.....Nice.
There will only be 150 of these made so be in quick.

You'll notice to the photo below that the wide frame body also flow smoothly from front to end with an impression that provokes power, stability and drivability. The muscular lines on the car form unity and conveyed from beginning to end. Steel in the car is used very judiciously where structurally is there to enhance it rigidity.

The Fisker Latigo is based on the BMW 650 and M6.

The Fisker Tramonto is based on the SL Benz.

Fisker gut out the interior and change the body work. It is done like this as the company couldn't afford to make a car from scratch with all the crash testing and requirements necessary. Mr Fisker used to work for BMW and Aston Martin as a designer..... These cars ae very expensive though, but you can get them serviced at your local BMW and Benz dealer.
