This is a first look at the Tramonto, the debut creation of his own company, Fisker Coachbuild. And there"s definitely something of the DB9 about it. Full details won"t be revealed until next month"s Frankfurt Motor Show, but the car has 610bhp on tap and can sprint from 0-60mph in only 3.6 seconds. The grille and headlights are hardly blazing new trails, though! Only 150 examples of the Tramonto are being built, but a second model is due next year.
Already a successful...
Already a successful range of luxury and sports models in North America, the Middle and Far East, the Infiniti range will be sold through "a dedicated dealer network" according to Nissan"s official statement, though it seems likely this will be an adjunct to the existing Nissan network, rather than entirely new showrooms.
The Infiniti cars will compete directly with Lexus, BMW and Mercedes, but may spell the end of the top-end Nissans, such as the 350Z coupe, as they may be replaced with their Infiniti equivalents. In the case of the much-loved 350Z, this is the Infiniti G35, a slightly smoother coupe more in the mould of a 3-series BMW.
