The Riyadh Car Show 2021 Auction By Seven Concours 25th November 2021

www.silverstoneauctions.com 85 Thursday 25th November | 8.00pm local time sequential paddle-shift transmission, complete with its shift-speed control and variable-lock differential. Despite the bulkier engine and transmission, the MF5 still qualifies as a lightweight. At 1380kg, it’s just 100kg heavier than the MF4 and therefore has a significantly better power-to-weight ratio: 368bhp/ton versus 287bhp/ton. Everything about the MF5 seems to have been designed to give the driver maximum input and gratification. The cabin’s design is elegant and purposeful, and the bucket seats provide rock-solid location. It’s finished in black with red detailing and the little Gecko, Wiesmann’s logo, makes the odd appearance. All the controls have a precise, hard-edged feel, and it’s an easy car to drive straight away, the BMW’s paddle-shift transmission being smooth and easy to master. However, it’s probably the howling V10 that creates the most vivid impression. “It’s the first thing you bond with, the last thing to fade from memory. Power isn’t the only issue. It’s the quality of interaction between driver and machine that gets under your skin. The multi-layered and savagely loud sonic presence of that M Power V10 is real edge-of-madness stuff. You can hear it all: ten cylinders, four camshafts, exhaust piping that would do justice to a church organ. It’s an intense, wailing wash of sound, the stadium rock of mechanical music. Wall to wall. Visceral. Intimidating.” (EVO magazine). The lovely MF5 GT on offer here dates from 2010 and is one of the few, 10 or 11 we believe, that’s fitted with the V10 from the E63 BMW, later cars offering a V8. It has covered some 8,000km from new. 2010 Wiesmann GT MF5 V10 LOT 240 More Details Lot 240 Bid On Lot 240
