Fisker ???

THE FISKER COACHBUILD 2006 TRAMONTO IS A SCULPTED STATEMENT OF EXOTIC OPEN-AIR MOTORING. Beneath the skin, the engineering excellence of what its base architecture once was – a Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG – remains. The vast array of Mercedes-Benz’ finest technological innovations, from the powerretractable hardtop to Active Body Control (ABC), remains untouched, as do safety systems, including crumple zones and airbags.

At the same time, the TRAMONTO has become something much more, and the differences go
beyond what meets the eye. How far beyond is up to you: engine, brake and exhaust-system
upgrades are available – as are 0-60 times of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. At the touch of a button on the console or the remote locking device, the power-retractable hardtop transforms the two-seat TRAMONTO from a coupe to roadster in just 16 seconds. And even with the hardtop retracted, the trunk is still spacious enough for two golf bags.

The stance is wide. Low. Ground hugging. The lines flow smoothly from start to finish –unbroken in the signature FISKER style. The overall look conveys movement, speed and power, whether the power-retractable hardtop is secured for foul-weather driving or stowed for open-air motoring. Compared to its original platform, the TRAMONTO is reproportioned with a slimmer, ultra-modern back end, a longer looking hood line with a pronounced power dome, and no visual bumpers. It is poised, balanced, sculptured…and exotic. From any angle, the message is uncompromisingly beautiful. Unmistakably FISKER.

LOOK CLOSELY – BECAUSE THE CLOSER YOU GET, THE MORE PRECISE THE TRAMONTO BECOMES. Gaps between body panels are tight and uniform. Aluminum and carbon fiber – materials that befit an exotic sports car – make up the body panels. Steel is used judiciously, to enhance
structural rigidity.

PERFORMANCE PLUS PACKAGE: FISKER COACHBUILD HAS TEAMED WITH KLEEMANN, THE WORLD’S LEADER IN KOMPRESSOR (SUPERCHARGER) TECHNOLOGY FOR MERCEDES-BENZ, TO CREATE THE FISKER/KLEEMANN 610-HP SUPERCHARGED V-8. The performance starts with a custom-made ECU program, redesigned pulley wheel and Super Sport Camshafts, to
maximize engine output. Enlarged stainless steel tubular exhaust headers, down pipes and 70 mm dual exhaust system allow for freer breathing…a system which is further enhanced with KLEEMANN 120 cell metal catalysts for maximum performance gain.

To thoroughly enjoy the power and performance of the TRAMONTO, a class-leading suspension
and braking system are absolutely essential. The independent suspension is 4-link in the front,
5-arm multilink in the rear, and is optimized with an AMG-enhanced version of Active Body Control (ABC) that continually adjusts each wheel in response to road conditions and driving style.

Electronic Stability Control (ESP) imparts even greater levels of handling confidence. Rack-and-pinion
steering features vehicle-speed sensitive power assist with integrated hydraulic damper. Stopping power is provided by standard AMGenhanced 4-circuit electrohydraulic brakes, or by the KLEEMANN high-performance brake system as part of the FISKER Performance Plus Package. The KLEEMANN system represents a major advance in brake technology, setting new standards for response, fade resistance, stability and long-term endurance. Massive disc pads provide nearly 85% greater area compared to other high-performance pads, and an innovative design allows for very high and consistent friction coefficients during deceleration, regardless of weather.

The KLEEMANN high-performance brake system is fully compatible with Mercedes-Benz Sensotronic Brake Control, Anti-lock Braking System and Brake Assist.

INTERIOR DESIGN IS AS CRUCIAL AS THE EXTERIOR – AFTER ALL, IT IS HERE THAT DRIVER AND CAR BECOME ONE. To bring the FISKER COACHBUILDdesign to life, we have teamed with Distinctive Industries, the American-based leather interior experts. All seat and fascia surfaces are expertly hand trimmed and hand stitched, in a selection of super-premium, soft yet durable Italian leathers. Milled aluminum highlights the center stack, where every TRAMONTO is individually numbered, 1 through 150. Aluminum details accent the switch gear and join with leather to form the
FISKER logo bars on the gear shift knob. The multifunction steering wheel is a FISKER original,
with built-in sound system controls. Thoughtful, functional touches include improved cell phone
storage and analog timepiece. FISKER TRAMONTO shown with Sand and Raised Sand leather interior.

The driving experience is rounded out with such technical niceties as the standard COMAND system
with DVD navigation and the digital Bose® Cabin SurroundTM sound system. This audio tour de force
features multichannel architecture, utilizing eight speakers and 5.1-channel Bose CenterpointTM signal processing to generate a 360° field of sound. Bose AudioPilotTM also digitally compensates for
unwanted ambient noise to maintain clarity with no perceptible change in volume.

You may choose from the long list of SL55 AMG options, such as the Hands-Free Communication
System, Keyless Go, Distronic adaptive cruise control, Parktronic sensors front and rear, a
Panorama roof for an expansive view of the sky even when the top is up, and SIRIUS Satellite Radio. Any and all options are available when you select your original vehicle – and all will be there for you when the FISKER TRAMONTO coachbuild is complete.
