  • 2012 Wiesmann Roadster MF3 “Scuba Mobil”

    Wiesmann-Roadster-MF3-Scuba-Mobil-THUMBWiesmann and Michelin have just presented in Geneva a project which is a result of their work of collaboration: the unique 2012 Wiesmann Roadster MF3 “Scuba Mobil”, which carries the project name “Pure Driving Adventure”. This individualization of the unique Wiesmann sportscar adds more to the driving pleasure. In other words, no other sports car can offer the driver such skilled precision work, breathtaking driving experience, and classic design. The project “Pure driving Adventure” is one special Wiesmann Roadster MF3 from the “final edition” equipped with an exclusive dream combination of extras that cannot be bought. These additional extras will be provided by the sports car manufacturer from Dülmen (Germany) in conjunction with tyre manufacturer Michelin. And if you happen to be in Geneva between 8th and 18th of March, you can see the “Pure Driving Adventure” project yourself. The buyer of this sports car will receive a year’s special admission to a total of more than 50 top-class events and exquisite experiences with both of the partners. What is necessary however is that the driver must travel to these events in their sports car. And the Roadster MF3 will be their ticket alone to the most thrilling motorsport events. Only one example of this package of exclusive experiences will be available at the Geneva Motor Show, and all of the extras will be included with the purchase of this automobile. More importantly, this project will not cost any more than any other car in the series.

    The 2012 Wiesmann Roadster MF3 “Scuba Mobil” will offer its customer the unique opportunity to attend the history and future of sports cars at Goodwood, to follow the endurance battles at the 24h in Le Mans from the pit lane, or to visit one of the spectacular rally events that take place in the World Rally Championship. Michelin VIP tickets will be ready and waiting for the driver and their companion and will be offered a behind the scenes deep dive as an invited guest of honor.

    The work of collaboration between Wiesmann and Michelin lead to the birth of many projects, including this one. The 2012 Wiesmann Roadster MF3 “Scuba Mobil” sports vehicle is a model of the “final edition by SIEGER”, and has been given a special makeover by Wiesmann. It includes the latest high-revving inline 6-cylinder engine wrapped in an exquisite blue and yellow exterior. The performance and driving characteristics of the car reach the highest levels. In addition, the combination of a lightweight body and the immense performance capability of the rev-happy straight-6 engine (252 kW/343 hp) provide the Roadster with exceptional driving dynamics and impressive propulsion.

  • Wiesmann Roadster MF5 limited edition at Frankfurt

With their Wiesmann Roadster MF5 limited edition the Wiesmann luxury brand is showing an absolutely stunning example of its hand-crafted sportscar range. (more…)

  • Wiesmann Roadster 2006

    The Wiesmann-Roadster which is manufactured since 1993, has been adapted permanently to the latest technical development. It’s a dynamic and powerful sports car, made for convertible enthusiasts, taking its very own market position, supported by an ever growing fan community. The Wiesmann brand is established.

    In succeeding years the Wiesmann-Roadster has been continuously developed and kept up-to-date with engineering progress. With almost 500 examples now having been built, a quality of finish has now been achieved which is unequalled among comparable small-scale manufacturers.

    In 2003, on the 10th anniversary of the factory, Wiesmann gave the models a facelift: from the 300th. Roadster, all vehicles leaving the factory had a number of optical and technical detail alterations. The classic shape of the car body, which became very successful and is particularly loved by Wiesmann customers, retained unchanged. Improvements to the interior and modest alterations to the Roadster’s external appearance were signs of the continued logical development of the vehicle concept.

    Additional options allow the customers to individualise their own hand-made dream car. Individuality is the magic word! After all, the customer wants a car that is individually equipped, tailored to his wishes, crafted to suit him and make him satisfied and happy.

    The Wiesmann-Roadster is available with two powerful engines:

    • MF 30
    • 170 kW/231 HP
    • 2,979 cc
    • MF 3
    • 252 kW/343 HP
    • 3,246 cc

    Even though the performance of the normally-fitted engine with 3 litres and 231 HP (achieving a power-weight ratio of 4.67 kg/HP) is adequate for a sports car, this was not always sufficient to fulfil all our customers’ wishes for engine performance. This culminated in the offer of a further engine from the BMW stable, the M engine from the 3-series.

    The driving qualities of the Roadsters with this engine, with its output of 343 HP and 365 Nm (resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of the car at its empty weight of 1,180 kg of 3.44 kg/HP) combined with a sequential manual 6-speed gearbox are driven to the very peak of driving enjoyment.

    The extension of standard equipment covers the following new features:

    Standard equipment

    • BMW M3-Motor 252 kW/ 343 HP and 365 Nm
    • Dynamics switch (throttle valve control selectable sporty/ comfortable)
    • New design of the rear light-clusters and the front flashers
    • Additional side blinkers in the sills
    • Redesigned door-lock
    • New switch design in the central console
    • New control lights display
    • New design for the instrument panel
    • Interior improvements with leather elements in cross-stitch pattern

    Special equipment available at an extra price

    • Sequential 6-speed gearbox (SMG II) with switch on the steering wheel (2 driving modes: manual gear-change with steering wheel switch or with the gear stick; automatic mode)
    • Drivelogic (6 different driving programmes for comfortable driving through to sporty driving)
    • Acceleration assistant (for optimum vehicle acceleration at sports car racing level)
    • Control light display with gear indicator
    • DSC Dynamic Stability control (manual cut-out)
    • Modification of the front lighting units (additional xenon or H7 headlights)
    • Wider wheels (255/30 on 9.5×19″ front, 295/30 on 11×19″ rear)

    The optical and aerodynamic developments, in combination with the modified standard equipment and great variety of individual possibilities, once again enhanced the attractiveness of the Wiesmann-Roadster.

  • Wiesmann GT 2006

    The success of the Roadster concept is based on a successful synthesis of classic design and state-of-the-art engineering. This encouraged Friedhelm and Martin Wiesmann to develop a new, similarly fascinating, sports car on the basis of the Roadster, the Wiesmann GT.

    The two-seater coupé celebrated its premiere as a production vehicle at the IAA 2005 in Frankfurt, to be acclaimed by the motoring experts. (more…)
