Since 2014, there has been little news from the German sports car brand Wiesmann. Due to an insolvency, no new vehicles roll out of the hall with wooden Gekko on the roof, which stands on the outskirts of D\u00fclmen in the M\u00fcnsterland region. Although there were a few announcements from the new owner that a new model is in preparation, there hasn’t been any world premiere until now. This means that the approximately 1,500 existing vehicles from the period between 1993 and 2013 are the only opportunity to enjoy a Wiesmann sports car. The MF5 GT was in the absolute top position. This model series made its debut in 2007 during the IAA at the Wiesmann dealer in Frankfurt. It took around one and a half years before series production began. As with the MF4, a bonded and riveted aluminium chassis lay beneath the body made of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic. For the smaller MF3, Wiesmann used a tube frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First with V10, later with V8<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Technically, the brothers Friedhelm and Martin Wiesmann continued to use BMW components for the MF5. Only the best was good enough for the flagship. The five-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine with 373 kW\/507 hp and 520 Nm of torque was taken over from the M5 (E60\/E61) and M6 (E63\/E64) series. The automated SMG III transmission with seven gears, the ABS and a few other driver assistance systems also came from the M6. Steering components came from the smaller 3 Series with the internal model codes E46 and E90. All around, 19-inch wheels with 265\/35 ZR 19 tires at the front and 325\/30 ZR 19 tires at the rear were used as standard. When BMW retired the E60, E61, E63 and E64 series and thus also discontinued production of the V10, Wiesmann switched in parallel to the V8 biturbo engine from the X5 M. This produced 408 kW\/555 hp from 4.4 liters of displacement, which was transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n
