To debut at 2009 Geneva

The eccentric German specialty marque Wiesmann has told GTSpirit.com during a factory visit that they plan to reveal roadster versions of their GT MF4 and GT MF5 cars at next year's Geneva Motor Show.

Until then, the only Wiesmann roadster is their popular GT MF3. The MF3 Roadster is powered by BMW's 3.2 liter inline 6 engine putting 343 horses to the road. The Wiesmann GT MF4 takes power one step further with BMW's 4.8 liter V8 engine producing 367 hp while the new top-of-the-range Wiesmann GT MF5 is powered by BMW's 507 hp 5.0 liter V10 engine.

Of course the introduction of the two more powerful Wiesmann roadsters will not effect the GT MF3 Roadster production. All three roadster will be produced side-by-side.

Finally, some bad news for the US since Wiesmann cars will not be sold across the pond anytime in the near future. This is due to the bad exchange rate, and high costs of having Wiesmann cars tested, adjusted and approved for US roads.

These are thoroughly manly cars, no denying. Oh, how I wish they were sold in North America.

Sadly, Americans could never make a speciality car like this.

both saleen and panoz got absolutely no character like this car so maybe you should stop making stupid comments.

Saleen has no character?? are you serious?? it is a full blown exotic car with solid race track reputation and incredibly striking design, and those are facts, numb nuts

The rear end that thing is sweet! I don't love every single aspect of the design, but it is solid overall. I especially love some of its underpinnings. Can't wait to see the Mf5 in action on Top Gear if they decide to get their hands on one.

Sadly, the interior is nowhere near as good as the base MF4 ( or is it MF3) and for the price they might charge I would rather have, say, a Ford GT or a used Murcielago. This comment is highly unlikely to influence them.

Well here is the thing wrong with what you just said, although i agree with you about the interior not being as stunning as the exterior it would be a big mistake to compare this car to a Murcielago or GT, those cars have lost their charm and the streets are full of them. This is a rarity and you are willing to take the hit of the interior if you are a true car fan and not somebody just looking to show off how much $ they have.

beautiful, beautiful! they should only do something about the old jaguar nose and that horrible radio from early 90 ties inside. then it would finally reach excellence. i don´t know if it is alumminium inside or some plastic-guess so given the shape. magnificent back end.
