  • World Premiere For Wiesmann GT MF4-CS In Geneva [TEASER]

    Wiesmann-GT-MF4-CS-THUMBWiesmann GT MF4-CS is the latest sports car by the automotive manufacturer Wiesmann which has just been teased. What we can see from the image released by the brand is just the front of the car and this is where we get the impression of the provocative red exterior color and the typical Wiesmann front fascia.

    However, it surely seems that the new GT MF4-CS is going to have more contemporary style. The model is going to make a world premiere at the international motor show in Geneva in March. To go further into details, the new car is a club sport version of the Wiesmann GT MF4-S and will be available in a limited edition run of 25 cars.

    The club sports version which debuted back in 2010 at the same Auto Show, and it utilizes V8 unit which generates 420 horsepower (310 kW) and 295 pound-feet (410 Nm) of torque. The model accelerates for only 4.4 seconds to get from 0 to 100 km/h.

    The same uncompromising approach will be used in the GT MF4-CS, which in addition will undergo a weight reduction and will include pure performance-oriented racing elements. Therefore it will probably also deliver great opportunities for achieving the best times on racetracks around the world.

  • Torpedo Run 2011: One of the last adventures of our time

    Driving, action and having fun – the Torpedo Run is a horsepower-orgy Standing in the light of sports cars and luxury limousines, Torpedo Run – a horsepower-party – combines driving, action and having fun altogether! This is happening for the 7th time and this time the goal is to promote it on daily events, while in the evening, exquisite gourmet pleasures pleased the sense of taste.

    To be more precise the automobile party included participants from all over Europe. It lasted three days and led from Bad Ragaz in Switzerland, through the towns of Kitzbühel and Velden in Austria, till the Mediterranean Coast in Slovenia. What is to be highlighted is that this year’s program offered a new race-track with Formula 1 license, fast bobsled runs and an adventurous off-road excursion in steep mountains!

    TORPEDO RUN
    TORPEDO RUN

    In these three days there could be seen enormous power and a pure sound party at the Torpedo Run 2011. For instance, you could see rare sports cars and exotics like Wiesmann MF 5 Roadster, Corvette ZR1, Ferrari 430 Scuderia, Lexus IS-F or an almost 600 hp/441 kW strong Mustang GT in muscle car design. Moreover, there were Porsches and compact sports cars such as BMW 1 Series M Coupé or Lotus Elise.

    All these beauties were driven almost everywhere on this perfect occasion. In addition, the Torpedo Runners enjoyed a lot of nice corners and impressive landscapes with stunningly beautiful sights. The specific roads in the Alps made the Torpedo Run even more exciting and gave pure pleasure to the drivers!

    Of course, there was a special arena – The new Red-Bull-Ring, where the Torpedo Runners were speeding on the new Red-Bull-Ring. This Ring is actually the Austria Ring or A1 Ring Red Bull, but more modernized and improved! Thank to it one could hear the sound of the engines and feel their power, while driving skillfully through the fast downhill corners.

    TORPEDO RUN
    TORPEDO RUN

    A lot of adrenalin got produced these three days: the Torpedo Runners drove down a mountain in a 3535 meters long roller coaster with steep turns and “jumps” with descents of up to 6 meters! Even more, they experienced the legendary Olympic bobsleigh run of Innsbruck. With around 100 kph, the teams sped down the 14 corners on the 1270 meters long run!

    On the other hand the Torpedo Runners switched cars to off-road cars! They enjoyed “off-roading” a mountain in the Alps. The route wasn’t a light one and led over a bumpy and narrow gravel road with tight corners, which have been built into the sheer mountain inclination. This is one of the most difficult itineraries in the Alps; however the Torpedo Runners performed their best!

    The Torpedo Run 2011 was definitely great fun for all of the participants. It was mentioned as one of the most exciting and exclusive events of the year. The result is that all of the participants are eagerly looking forward to the next Torpedo Run 2012! The great news is that everyone can join it, but hurry up because the reservations have already started at www.torpedorun.com! The next 2012 Torpedo Run will take place on an extended weekend in September.

  • Wiesmann Black Bat

    The company SchwabenFolia in Korntal-Münchingen situated in Baden-Württemberg has created a unique Wiesmann MF5 V10 Roadster.  The project name is Black Bat and you can see, why! The tuned car comes with extra matte black exterior, door panels, engine room and the inner hood, as well as the trunk along with the inner flap are completely foiled.

    Wiesmann-MF5 is powered by the brilliant S85B50 – 5.0 liter V10 with 507PS (378 kW) at 7750RPM and 520Nm (384 lb-ft) of torque at 6100RPM. The BMW’s Performance engine of the Year  features cast aluminum block with bed plate design split at the crankshaft axis, cast aluminum heads with four valves per cylinder and CNC machined ports and combustion chambers. Valves are actuated through non-rotating inverted bucked cam followers. There are also oil-cooled, forged aluminum pistons from Mahle Motorsport, forged steel crankshaft with counterweights, shared crankpins producing an uneven firing interval of 90 or 54 degrees, double VANOS system which varies both intake and exhaust cam phasing,  10 individual electronically controlled throttle butterflies. The knock sensors have been eliminated by utilizing the “ionic current” measuring system. And finally a quasi-dry sump lubricating system.

    After all this dry info, check out the performance – 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and to 200 km/h in under 10 seconds. The top speed is more than 321 km/h (200 mph).

    The Black Bat stands on enormous BBS forged alloy wheels 10J x 20” with 285/30 ZR20 tires at the front and 11.5J x 20” with 325/25 ZR20 on the rear axle. Behind them, there are brembo 6-piston calipers with 308 x 32 mm perforated compound brake discs and 4-piston calipers with 380 x 28 mm discs at the rear.

    The overall weight is 1395 kg.
