Saw a Fiskar SL?? today!

Does fiskar take a stock SL or AMG to do their mods? The front looked more like a bimmer than a merc! Driver was cool, invited me to have a seat inside. Passenger was a complete tool! He kept asking if I wanted to buy it, then stated that it would kill my E55(500HP+) in the quarter mile.

There are two Fiskers. The Tramonto is based on the SL, the Latigo on the BMW 6-series:

I saw those at the Beverly Hills auto show a few months ago. They wanted my car, and 80gs to convert it into one of those. I know for a fact that they are faster than stock AMGs. They add a whole bunch of horsepower to the car.

it looks like they have different levels depending on price, one of them is just stock SL55, and one is kleemanized

Been a Blue one sitting at Fletcher Jones where you pick your car up from a wash or service for several days. Looks a tad strange. Not to my taste.

SL/M6
Ive heard on the bimmer forums that there have only been a handful ever made and that investors claim there is a few hundred out there. He was a great designer back in the day but I cant stand these two models based on the SL and 6'er.

I've seen Fisker SL's and spoken to a dealer about them. Fisker does the bodywork. If the customer requests for the power package, they get the SL's upgraded by Kleeman. I was able to witness an SL65 by Fisker with the Kleeman ECU upgrade. Very cool car, but I'd get an Aston over it. Quality was definitely lacking. Panel fitment was off and paint was bad in some areas. Even the MB/Fisker salesman said he was disappointed.

Would have been cool to see I have never even heard of them before but I dont really like the way it looks. You should have ran with him maybe the tool in the passenger seat would have shut up then!
