Wiesmann Spyder concept announced

Wiesmann MF4 Roadster

Could go into production in 2012

Wiesmann has announced plans to introduce the Spyder concept at the Geneva Motor Show.

Details are limited, but the company says the concept will be "powerful, ultra-light and purist." Furthermore, the Spyder will be smaller than the MF4 Roadster and have an "extreme" appearance as it lacks doors and a windscreen.

According to Friedhelm Wiesmann, "We want to test the marketability of such cars in Geneva. The feedback of customers, partners and experts has high influence on the consideration of advancing the Spyder model."

If the Spyder is approved for production, it could go on sale as early as 2012.
