Fisker Latigo CS

Southern California-based coachbuilder Henrik Fisker has created the Latigo CS, based on a BMW M6 platform. Additions to the new car are entirely hand built, featuring extensive use of aluminum, stainless steel, carbon fiber and magnesium alloy.

The car's dimensions have been shortened both front and rear and the C-pillars have been redesigned. A sculptured 'power dome' highlights the hood while slimmer head lamps tie together the front graphic and Fisker's distinctive, black powder-coated or anodized aluminum grille. A 3-dimensional milled aluminum and hand painted badge, side indicators (set in a chromed aluminum bezel), carbon fiber rear diffuser and twin stainless steel round exhausts are all bespoke elements; as are the integrated rear bumper and the lightweight 10-spoke, 3-piece 20-inch wheels.

Inside, the coachbuild craftsmanship continues with hand-stitched leather on the seats, headliner and three-spoke steering wheel. The gear shift knob incorporates an aluminum Fisker logo, while the polished carbon fiber sill panels are adorned with aluminum sill plaques bearing the company's name.

Only 150 Latigo CS models will be built worldwide, in a combination of coupes and convertibles.
