Introduced at the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, the VL Destino will go on sale in mid-2014 at around $200,000, the company announced.
VL Automotive is backed by former General Motors vice chairman Bob Lutz, who acquired 25 unsold Fisker Karmas and fought to access the codes that operate their infotainment system.
While identical from a design standpoint, the VL Destino has dropped the Karma's hybrid powertrain in favour of a Chevrolet Corvette engine. Actually, two variants will be available: one with a naturally aspirated V8 that produces 450 horsepower, and another with a twin-turbo V8 rated at 638 horsepower.
Lutz also said that the VL Destino will return to the NAIAS this January along with another body style.
