Driven one

Fantastic cars. I was speaking to one of the Wiesmann brothers at Top Marques Monaco - he said there were potential plans to do a lightweight club sport version which would be very special.

The Coupe, using the V8 from the 5 series sounds amazing!

Lucky man.
I'm not a naturally jealous person, but for you I'll make an exception!

Hi Suresh,

they're lovely. M3 engine a decent chassis and those looks.....
The wheels could do with being an inch or two smaller in diameter though.
They have been demonstrating them around the track at the Monaco GP for the last few years (along with the Dutch Spyker). Both cars seem to attract enough interest to warrant continuing this method of publicity.....and I'm sure that Bernie makes them pay for it!!!!!!

Didn't realise they had the M3 engine, thought it was bigger than that

The copy of EVO in the hairdressers the other day was the issue with this in it: I had to read it all again and think, "wow".

Stunningly good looking car, and looks like the engineering ain't too shabby either.

Yes please. And Chris, you're a git
