Designed by CEO of Fisker Automotive, Henrik Fisker, who worked in the past for Ford, BMW and Aston Martin, the Latigo CS is a coachbuilt version of the BMW 6-Series that was first introduced in 2006 having received a minor redesigned in 2007.
Barring the cheesy voice-over done by someone who reminds me of George Takei (is that you, George?), the story and process of integrating Koa wood into BMW's big, Individualized GT is actually pretty interesting.
Adding to the long list of independent design studies we've hosted here on Carscoop is this proposal for a next-generation BMW M6 sports coupe by David Cardoso from Belgium. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which means that different people possess different standards of beauty, but we can't help thinking that this Z4-inspired concept for a future M6 would look a lot better with a different face, one that doesn't bring back memories of Bangle's creations.Photos: David Cardoso , Via: Designerspace
This month's Frankfurt Motor Show will see BMW launching a special edition version of the M6 coupe called Competition that will be produced in a limited run of just 100 units. While the M6's 507 horsepower V10 engine remains intact, the engineers over at BMW's M division tweaked the Competition model's suspension with new springs, dampers and stabilisers as well as lowering the coupe's ride height by 12mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear.The modified chassis control systems plus the new wheel and tire combination complete the performance upgrades.
Visually, the M6 Competition stands out thanks to the Frozen Grey matt exterior paint job while inside, customers can choose between two unique color schemes for the Merino full leather interior - either black with grey stitching or a two-tone Silverstone / Black combo with contrasting light gray and black stitching.
The Competition also gets specific floor mats and scuff plates with the "M6 Competition" logo along with a special numbered plaque.
