The grille that looks like nothing else on the road?

See to me it looks like they robbed it from an S-Type!

I concur.

I adore the Weismann; curvy, gorgeous, low slung, future retro looks and a st hot car underneath.

How come an M5 did 205 mph but this can't crack 195?

It looks good but just as the Countach . . . it's just not THAT aerodynamic.

Amazing how Hideous and Great this thing can look from different angles!

And colour Mega important (so as not to look like some Rich Chav Scumbag).

What does it weigh for a Power to weight? Handy lump the V10 but BIG and heavy I believe.

all wiesmann cars MF3 and MF4 and MF5 types, are about 300<>400kg lighter then the cars from wich the engine was used off.

also there is a video were the MF5 GT and a GT3 RS were on a circuit wich the wiesmann won by fastest lap time (just) but that I found amazing...it would not win on every circuit but that shows how good it is, not only in a straight line or cruze around.

Rene - I think I prefer you wagon wink Nothing on here on weight http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/4267/Wiesmann-R...

E60 M5 is 1830 kilo (Holy Crap - What a Frickin Truck). So the Wiseman will still be around 1.5 metric tons! - Eek.

Yep a surprise the Wiseman is that fast compared to a GT3 RS though so must be good - mind bother have truely Massive boots (tyres).

God knows. The same reason that the Hamann tweaked, delimited M5's only managed 194 despite having a better drag coefficient and 45 more HP.

1395kg - Christ - mind you still gives it a good 363bhp/ton (a smidge more than my last toy). They should be able to get it lighter though! Mind I got EVO yesterday god it made me laugh how heavy the new 599 GTO is 1660kg (Just Daft), you have that power and still it does not crack 400bhp/ton!

Al - Nice 420SEAC (it would not be close to the Wiseman though (if the lump is as it came from the factory).

I'm just taking the piss, essentially Venoms were the naff of the 90's and BBS appear to have re-invented the style!

Comparable to TVR?!?! It's about 3 times their (former) prices for god's sake. Hardly comparable to the affordable British roadsters. I'm sure TVR could have upped their affordability given another £80k per unit. Me? I'd take a Morgan Aero 8. Heritage, racing pedigree, half the price and built in Blighty.
