Geneva 2008: Wiesmann GT MF 5

The expert in the class of sport-exclusive coupes and roadsters – the manufacture Wiesmann has shown the extreme 2-door “cooper” - Wiesmann GT MF 5 with the engine from BMW M5.

Wiesmann GT4 has gone out of date. Its place is taken by a more powerful, more stylish and more attractive bolide - GT MF 5.

In comparison to the ancestor, the novelty has significantly increased its “weight” – got wider, lower and longer. Moreover, it got a modernized body with new design elements like a front lip, huge air-intakes, side channels, anti-wing and a run-out.

The “core” is a 507-hp V10 unit borrowed from the current M5 (the previous GT4 was equipped with a 4.8-liter V8) with the max torque on 520 Nm. The engine works with a 7-grade sequential transmission SMG with the rear driver and sport block-differential. 0-100 km/h acceleration – 3.9 seconds, max speed – 310 km/h.

The further innovation of the manufacture is a stiff sport chassis, high-performance braking system by Brembo and exclusive leather finishing of the interior with sport seats.

In Europe the car will be available from autumn 2008 at around 180 000 euro.
