I'm not a fan of that "bulging nose" look that you see like on the Quattroporte. But the rear is 10000000x better than how the rear of the M6 normally looks. Fisker is (last I heard) a very reputable coachbuilder though, if anything I'm sure their work is top notch. Either way, I'd take one over a regular M6.

hmmm..... after some googling, it looks much better for some reason when the headlight lens are flush with the bumper. 1 of 1 my ass



Yeah.... I'm gonna go ahead and say I'd take a Latigo CS (As seen above) over an M6 any day. They also built a car around the SL, and they called it the Tramonto. I would also take one of those over an SL. The guy used to design Aston Martins FFS

It looks like an Aston Martin DB9 humped an M6, and produced a "butterface".

That is an ass to die for, I must admit. But that face, well, maybe if someone use Photoshop and brought the hood line even with the headlight bottom line, I would like it...

Hate the front, love the rest. That's the rear the 6 Series should've had.

the front end looks like an m6 with a facelift and a mustache IMO
but the rear does look good, looks like a concept car with the skinny tailights

Lol, that was the first thought I had. Definitely some Aston Martin and Maserati (Quattroporte) influence. Although the overall package looks much better than a "regular" M6.

Or, I'd just go out and buy a real Aston instead of a BMW wanna-be.

Whoever buys that should also go out and buy a Fiero with a Ferrari body kit

loll hahaha hilarious comments...yeah it is a butterface but I love that ass. I think I might like the front of the original M6 better. Yeah I don't know why it said 1 of 1, I think 1 of 150 is more like it. I'd definitely take an Aston Martin over this...DBS

That car is horrendously ugly. The only thing worse than the looks of the car is the price they're asking for it.

It's called the Latigo CS & normally doesn't have such a shitty stance. The other model is the Tramonto which is based on the SL.


The Latigo was also redesigned so that that front bumper flowed better as seen in "I Go To Costco"'s post.

They both ran at $200,000 & were completely custom on the interior if the custom wanted.

You know, even an ass-man has to take his girl out in public: You better be confident in your assets with a grill like that.

guess I'm one of the very few who actually likes it. I say it improves a lot on the M6 front end, which would be the equivalent of a chick with a fivehead. It just looks very off. Then again I can see why someone would say the same about the front of the Latigo CS... The grille doesn't really mesh with anything else, but I kinda like it. It reminds me of a fighter jet, sort of like Aston Martins.

I wonder how much HP does this V10 generate, like 500+ ? I guess with all these add-ons, it can afford Not to look like a bimmer from the front ...

I like it too. The grille does look a little Aston Martiney though.

Don't forget, people, a good portion of that price tag is for the bespoke interior treatment.

It's #1 of 150 and there was no #2 or beyond, BUT if you look on eBay there is also a number "0", which was the prototype. And the Buy-It-Now on it is only $99,888.

Funny, the guy with #1 says it's one of a kind, the only one made, but the guy with #0 says it's one of two made.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-6...item1c113863f9

EDIT: #1 was made from an M6 and #0 was made from a 645. Maybe that explains the "one of a kind" status of #1.

...and the rear of #1 is slightly sexier. A few minor differences in the bodies of the prototype versus the production model.

Maybe there were two prototypes and one production car.

On the second car posted, it seems like the console was cracked and they glued it together. I know it is minor but seeing how they pulled the whole interior apart and this car was hardly driven, I wonder how fitment on the interior is
