(from Wiesmann Press
Release) Wiesmann presents Design study Wiesmann Spyder
Wiesmann showcased the design study of a twoseater, extremely
purist, convertible sports car at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011.
Powerful, ultra-light and purist, the Wiesmann Spyder is the essence
of Wiesmann’s philosophy. With a kerb weight of less than 1000 kg,
it accelerates from 0-100 km/h less than 4 s and makes a top speed
of approx. 290 km/h. Basis for this excellent performance is a
420-hp V8 high speed motor which is powered by a 4 liters of engine
capacity. The two-seater has no doors or windscreen and is the most
extreme Wiesmann ever built.
The Wiesmann Spyder design study is based on the Wiesmann brothers’
early designs, though it also incorporates their many years of
experience in sports car construction. It demonstrates the sports
car manufacturer’s receptiveness to trends because many Wiesmann
fans have approached the company founders in recent years with
requests for an extremely purist model.
In Geneve there will be a design study presented, which needs to
undergo the judgement of the experts. General Manager of the
manufactory Friedhelm Wiesmann says: “We want to test the
marketability of such cars in Geneve”, and he goes on: “The feedback
of customers, partners and experts has high influence on the
consideration of advancing the Spyder model.” Wiesmann has not yet
decided whether to put the Spyder into production. If it does go
into production, this won’t be before 2012.
