Fisker Coachbuild was founded in January 2005 by Henry Fisker, who is responsible for the designs of the BMW Z8, Aston Martin DB9 and the V8 Vantage. While it took Fisker several years to get his company up and running, the Irvine, California based company has now deliverd its first car.

Fisker also makes a V8 version of the car, based on the BMW 650Ci, that is capable of delivering 367 horsepower.

“Hand craftsmanship is at the forefront of this coach-build design. Coach-building is an art form,” said Fisker. “We can deliver what many auto enthusiasts have been seeking—attention to detail, which complements the already proven performance.”
