As previously reported, Wiesmann has confirmed a new power plant for the MF4 and MF5 models.
Since BMW discontinued the V10 engine, which Wiesmann was sourcing from the brand, the German specialty marque decided to upgrade the engine offerings on both the MF4 and MF5 with two variants of BMW's 4.4 liter, twin-turbo V8.
The MF4 will now be fitted with that direct-injection, twin-scroll/twin-turbo V8 to the tune of 407 PS (300kW). 0 to 100 km/h comes in 4.6 seconds and top speed is 291 km/h (181 mph).
The MF5 will get the X5 M and X6 M treatment with the power plant now pushed to 555 PS (408 kW). It takes just 3.9 seconds for the MF5 to reach the 100 km/h mark from a standing start and top speed is 311 km/h (193 mph).
The Wiesmann MF3 will keep its current 6-cylinder power plant.
The evolution of dynamics: The Wiesmann model series MF4 and MF5 as of now come with new twin turbo engines
Motor replacement at the Dülmen sports car manufactory. Starting in the new year, Wiesmann will be banking on BMW twin turbo technology for their model series MF4 and MF5. The Wiesmann GT and Roadster MF4 and MF5 can now be ordered with the new engine types. These engines will be stronger and more agile, while working more efficiently and economically than their predecessors. Top priority in the selection of these new engines went to what Wiesmann is all about: unlimited driving fun.
The MF4 will now be equipped with a BMW 4.4l V8 twin turbo direct injection petrol engine. With its engine capacity of 4,395 cm³ and 407 hp (300kW) at 5,500 to 6,400 rpm, the MF4 will reach a top speed of 180.8 mp/h. It will reach 0 to 60 mp/h in just 4.6 seconds. And while doing so, these handmade sports cars create an unrivalled symphony of sound, power and sheer driving excitement.
Also the MF5 will receive an engine based on latest twin turbo technology. The top-of-the-range model will also be equipped with a 4.4l V8 twin turbo direct injection petrol engine - this one, however, with even more impressive capacity. Here are the M-motor specifications: 555 hp at 5,750 to 6,750 rpm; 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and a top speed of 193.2 mp/h. And all that with just 10.7l per 100 km (combined) - a truly remarkable result at such performance values. The new engines make the MF5 model series the most powerful Wiesmann cars of all time.
The Wiesmann Roadster MF3 will keep its current engine (now with Euro 5), leaving the classic roadster untouched for connoisseurs of the car manufacturer for individualists.
