Luxury sports cars with graceful curves are welcome these days . They stand out especially among classic cars from concerns, whose design is mostly conservative and cold.
Fisker Automotive demonstrated a very interesting creation on its Karma hybrid. The sporty limousine caught the eye at first sight. But imagine how much more interesting it would be if the designers removed the rear doors and added a little sporty feel with a proper eight-cylinder without batteries . It was the numerous responses that prompted VL Automotive to design and present the Destino Red concept at the North American International Auto Show. The two-door sports convertible with a folding hardtop borrowed the basis from the previously mentioned Fisker Karma . In a similar spirit, its rounded body lines and a luxuriously conceived interior full of quality materials, not excluding leather from the company Katzkin with red stitching, are designed.
As can be expected with a concept car, the automaker does not want to reveal much information. Given that the Destino Red sedan is offered in two General Motors engines, namely a 6.2-liter V8 LT1 with 540 horsepower and a more powerful turbocharged LS9 with the same volume and 638 horsepower, one can assume what would be under the hood of the convertible discovered.
In the same way, we can only negotiate about putting it into series production . Co-founder Gilbert Villarreal revealed that he hopes for retail production, but the project is now five months behind schedule . The reason is reorganization and personnel changes within Fisker Automotive , which is the majority supplier of mechanical components and body parts. There is nothing left to do but wait for her final statement regarding the further development of the partnership.
VL Automotive will strive to strengthen the relationship within the supply of all components so that the project can continue. At the same time, they also work on the development of their own parts , especially for the front and rear parts of the car, the trunk lid and the hood. Let's just hope that everything works out , it would be a shame to lose such a beautiful project.
