that's an abomination

Then call me the anti-Christ cause I like it!

I think I am wearing the same expression on my face as when I see Heidi Klum ads for Stiefelkönig.

Oh, welcome to the Lounge. You'll probably spend a couple months in the MkIV forum - realize its garbage...then spend literally the next 8-10 years of your life here in the Car Lounge.

It's actually not bad, much more interesting than most of the neo-supercar tripe that's out there these days.

That is BEAUTIFUL.....I hope that they make it State side....I'd love to see one on our highways...

I like my cars like I like my women...exotic, imported and fun to "drive".

Vr6's should sound like chewbaca getting raped.

But I have a question: is there a red light and a non-red one in the picture here? (the bottom lights opposite the exhaust) Or is it just the lighting or something?

They´re selling mainly here in Germany, but they have a few exporters, mainly in other European countries. They have already produced more than 300 Roadster since 1993.
It started out with hardtops for convertibles (they still make them), so that they were less reliant on car production before things got really going.
I doubt they will come to the US anytime soon. They don´t comply with US safety regs - i.e. no airbags.

Too bad it'll never be sold here.

The concept behind it seems remarkably similar to the Panoz roadster, if I do say so. Except the Panoz uses a Ford V8 which, honestly, I'd much rather have from a parts and service perspective!

Too bad they don't make the roadster anymore... just the much heavier Esperante...

And less attractive..well argueably so, anyway. I prefered the Roadster, it was like a modern take on an old, OLD Indy car.

Are you sure there isn't one?

Just with a little extra leather covering the spokes.

The airbag is stuffed into that little black circle.

A bit more about Wiesmann: They go a little further than Panoz on the parts borrowing side: Full BMW drivtrain on roadster and Coupe (moor, tranny, diff) and they also take over most of the suspension components from the e36 M3 on the roadster (dunno about the Coupe, but I assume the same)

I have seen quite a few, but my best sighting was at the track day of the Salzburgring 2 years ago.... The Sound, and the subjective speed (due to its small size) are amazing

to me.. it looks like a "round" version of Crossfire. specially the back. look pretty good (classic look)
