VLF finally delivers first V8-powered, Karma-based Destino

The Destino idea has been bouncing around in Bob Lutz’s head for a while, but in January
things got serious when Lutz, Karma designer Henrik Fisker, and entrepreneur Gilbert Villarreal got together to form VLF. A few months later, Lutz says the first Destino is on its way to a customer,
The Detroit News reports.

As a reminder, the Fisker Karma ended up in foreign-ownership purgatory after the Fisker Automotive outfit
hit financial troubles in 2013. That was around the same time we first heard
rumblings about the Destino.

As the Destino has evolved (and the company that builds it has changed names and relaunched itself), some things remain the same. There’s still a GM LS9 supercharged V8 in it, best known as the engine at the heart of the C6 ZR1, driving the rear wheels. The Destino starts at $229,000, and it’s on sale, well, now.
