description
well known as the designer of both bmw z8 and aston martin db9, dane henrik fisker has set up his own automotive company in california in 2005 / the tramonto is one of the first cars developed by the newcoming brand / it is indeed a conversion of the mercedes-benz sl 55 amg / the unchanged windscreen and roof are easily spotted / however, the rest of the body has been completely redesigned, in a more aggressive style than the base mercedes : the front end incidentally has quite a strong aston martin flavor / the cockpit is close to the stock sl's stylewise, but the trimming has been totally revamped

the tramonto is available as a base model, and as a performance plus evolution made in partnership with german tuner kleemann / a limited batch of 150 tramontos is planned : wether all will be ordered, that is the question
