It went into administration in 2014, but has recently been revived. The company’s philosophy was simply stated: “A Wiesmann is not your average sports car. It’s a car inspired by those few with the courage, audacity and creativity to live by their own rules. Beautifully designed with precision engineering, a Wiesmann is a remarkable car made for remarkable individuals.” The MF5 GT was the final design from the brothers and its stylistic inspiration appears to have come from classic British designs with hints of Jaguar XK120, E-type racer, Healey 3000 and Morgan AeroMax all in there. Launched at the 2008 Frankfurt Motor Show, the MF5 uses the same all-alloy, naturally aspirated 5-litre V10 as the BMW M5 and M6 which, by any standards, is one of the world’s greatest production engines. It has Bi- VANOS variable camshaft control and, in addition to that astonishing 507bhp at 7750rpm, some 383lb ft of torque at 6200rpm. Each cylinder gets its own electronically actuated throttle valve and four oil pumps and two sumps ensure constant lubrication even during braking and cornering. Wiesmann claims 0-62mph in 3.9sec and a top speed of 193mph, which is serious enough performance to warrant the addition of an aggressive rear wing and diffuser. The V10 is mounted low and behind the front axle line – the so-called ‘front mid-engined’ layout – and, as in the M5/M6, drive reaches the rear wheels via BMW’s 7-speed 2010 Wiesmann GT MF5 V10 LOT 240 More Details Lot 240 Bid On Lot 240 Estimate: $600,000 - $650,000
