Wiesmann GT with BMW V10 power confirmed for Frankfurt
According to a variety of reports circulating the web, it's been confirmed by Weismann that a V10-version of its retrotastic coupe will be making its official debut in Frankfurt next month. Based off the company's current coupe, the GT MF 5 will be sporting a BMW-sourced 507 HP V10, the same found in the M5/M6.
The current model tips the scales at just over 2,700 pounds when equipped with the 362 HP V8, so a 0-60 time under 4.5 seconds should be easily within reach.
Expect the new model to make it to dealers abroad sometime next year, likely sporting revised body panels and a tweaked interior.

Not practical but desirable. I'm for the practical side of cars but this one defies my logic. I would be standing in a long line up if my practical side gave in. It's beautiful!

Even though it's like an old Jag. Looks like nothing else on the road and i can't stop staring. This should easily get under 4 seconds with the V-10.

I can't afford a car like this but I do enjoy seeing nice cars around.
I'd trade every Viper and Lambo in Winnipeg for Weismann's.
That's a car I'd love to see around.
