  Wild, Wild Wiesmann - AutoWeek Magazine
The Wiesmann formula was expanded last year to include a second model, the longer, wider, closed-roof $142,000 GT, powered by BMW’s 4.8-liter 367-hp V8.
Wiesmann’s plans call for increasing sales to 300 cars annually by 2009—big talk for a company that sold 92 cars total in 2005 and has produced just over 500 cars in its 12-year history.
Wiesmann also hopes to cut wait times for cars; buyers now wait six months for a Roadster and 18 months for a GT model.

  StreetFire.net - Wiesmann coupe, son of Morgan?
Wiesmann first showed a prototype of the GT coupe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003, and today it is a reality; a very retro-looking but technologically modern design.
Wiesmann Auto-Sport, which was founded in 1988 by brothers Martin and Friedhelm Wiesmann, state that the GT is the "success of our concept to create a synthesis of nostalgic design and ultra-modern technology" and it certainly looks very different to anything else you would normally see in day to day traffic.
Wiesmann is pretty serious about its cars, so much so that it even pays BMW engineers to ensure the quality of its workmanship and there's no denying the 2005 Wiesmann GT's head-turning power either, and more than that it's pretty quick too, and will give new Porsche 911 Carrera's a good run for their deutschmarks.

 Wiesmann   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Martin Wiesmann (graduate engineer) and Friedhelm Wiesmann (bachelor of commerce) started to make their youthful dream come true, to design a tailor-made car that they had developed themselves.
To sum up the Wiesmann roadster is near impossible as you have to see it, feel it and sit in to be transported back to yesteryear, it offers pure driving fun, while in-line six-cylinder engines ensure a powerful drive and a beefy display of power and rich sounds from under the long sweeping bonnet.
The cockpit of the GT is characterised by the classic round instruments, but as with the Roadster you can make it your very own with completely personal touch’s, there really is no limits to where you want your fantasy to end.

Wiesmann created the crazed 507-hp creature as a nod to lightweight, overpowered GT cars and roadsters of old.

Wiesmann announced it will produce a GT version of its hand-built, BMW-powered, carbon-fiber bodied sports car, making it an actual racing contender rather than just another hot, young pavement queen.
