Fair play to them, but i think it looks like the dinner of a dog - the Morgan Aero is a much finer looking car.

i sort of know what you mean, BUT even post facelift it looks cross-eyed (although to be fair the headlights are the weakest feature of the weissman too).

i like the weissman.

roadtests all come back amazed at the ridequality given the pimpin' wheel sizes...

[V8HSV]

yeah, 25 section profiles

Those headlights look like they should be on a chavved up Nova - the only blot on a gorgeous car IMHO. I'd like to more conventional lights fitted and faired in.

Just look at the camber on those rear wheels!

I want one (with a V10) so very, very much. They'd better get a nice dealer network sorted over here!

according to what I've read somewhere they also gona make RHD soon...
Wiesmann GT

Handmade, individual and exclusive the BMW v8 engine produces 367 bhp and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds. The RHD GT is expected in England later this year, for approximatley £85k but the LHD is available now for £80
-------------------------------------------------------
Also because they want to serve buyers in Japan, GB and Australia they'r working on RHD...
So, some LHD TVR's for us...and some RHD Wiesmann's for you..., I know what I choose
Oh and did I mentioned I want one too in black metallic or dark grey/brown metallic

Quite agree, there's no accounting for taste (or lack of it).

[V6GTO]

It looks like a cross between a Jaguar S type and an Audi TT, and the dash is so "busy" you wouldn't know where to look first.

Would I like one? If it was free then yes please...despite the shortcomings. But no way would I pay good money for a car that has so blatently taken styling cues from another make (Jaguar)

Martin.

[GTRene]

It looks like this and it looks like that bla bla bla...
almost all cars have something that looks like this or that...

Even you would look like a human I guess

And that dash? its very beautiful in the real world and not crowdy at all! the pictures does not do the car justice in that...picture is small and bring things together but as I told in real it realy is a masterpiece

But everyone to his own taste

These really are terribly kitsch in the flesh - sort of like a modern day excalibur!

All in the worst possible taste.

[Marlon]

Bloody good looking cars. Lee Noble take note...

[veg]

Saw the dark coupe on the M32 coming out of Bristol. It is stunning in the flesh. Oh and quick................

[jigsty]

Have only seen one in the metal but I always thought that it looked like the love child of a 50s Jaguar and a 60s Austin-Healey.

[sinistamunkey]

I personally think it's an absolutely gorgeous car, and I respect it because the looks evoke such strong and different feelings, things of great design normally do

[davy9449]

Overall great looking car, original (sort of even if a little like the old Jag and a Morgan etc etc) but has a nice strong and unique appeal about it

But what have they done with them headlights???????? Everybody loves them....... Am I missing something

[dinkel]

I like the W'mann over a new Morgan any day of the week, but that's IMHO . . .

Look at the interior . . .





. . . a Spyker is too bling for me, but this . . . looks tempting.

????opinion?

[Aerofoil]

I like it a lot, other than the front headlights. Looks like someone has done a halfrauds conversion, bit like a 206 with 3 lights. They need to be more classic looking to match the retro design.

[Narvanath]

Retro is the right word for this heap.

[stone]

Opinions on the Weissman seem to be a bit 'marmite' Love it or hate it
