A very interesting design indeed and you can hardly tell its origins. You are on the mark about the Aston comparison though; maybe even a little Alfa Romeo too.

The write-up on Latigo CS:

Fisker Latigo CS – an uncompromising and elegant coupe delivering up to 550 horsepower.
The BMW 6 Series 650Ci Coupe provides the base vehicle architecture for the Fisker Latigo CS. The signature Fisker touch brings a new gravitas and balance to the luxury sports coupe – it is understated sporty elegance at its best. As in the Tramonto, all electronic, telematic and safety systems remain untouched – and every vehicle option is yours to choose from.

The Fisker Latigo is currently nearing production status, so final technical details are still in flux. Engine specifications call for a standard 32-valve, 4.8-liter V8 pumping 367 horsepower, and an optional V10 that generates over 550 horsepower if you choose a BMW M6 as your base architecture.

This is design that is felt as well as seen. In the lines of the car, there is tension – like an arrow pulled back in the bow. The C-pillars have been redesigned to flow in a more sculptured manner, sitting solidly over the rear wheel. Front and rear dimensions have both been shortened, and a sculptured power dome highlights the hood. Overall, these brilliantly balanced proportions lend a solid, unmistakable presence to the Latigo CS – while advanced aerodynamic sculpting creates a shape that is virtually invisible to the air.

Production will be limited to 150 apiece, so sightings of the 2006 Fisker Latigo CS will always be a rarity. Production will commence in April 2006 – just over one year after the company opened its doors – enabling enthusiasts across the globe to experience coachbuild redefined.
