History

File:WiesmannGecko.jpg

The company's first roadster left the workshop in 1993. By 2006, they were producing the Wiesmann MF3 and MF30 roadsters and the Wiesmann GT MF4 coupé, all of which utilized engine and transmission components supplied by BMW. The company, which made around 180 hand-built cars each year, used a gecko logo because they claimed their cars "stick to the road like geckos to a wall"

By 2010, Wiesmann planned to begin exporting vehicles to the US. Factors including poor exchange rates and the high costs of modifying and testing cars to meet US automotive regulations hindered these plans.{{cite web|url=http://www.autoweek.com/article/20060918/FREE/309180004/ |title=Autoweek Wiesmann Article|date=17 September 2006 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.gtspirit.com/category/supercars/wiesmann/ |title=GTSPIRIT Article |publisher=GTSPIRIT Article |access-date=2011-02-06}} On August 14, 2013, Wiesmann filed for insolvency at the local court in Münster.{{cite web|url=http://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/wiesmann-meldet-insolvenz-an-a-916840.html|title=Wiesmann meldet Insolvenz an|author=((SPIEGEL ONLINE, Hamburg, Germany))|date=15 August 2013|work=SPIEGEL ONLINE}} Four months later, Wiesmann's management board filed to dismiss the insolvency proceedings due to abolition of the insolvency reasons, while the creditors’ meeting was also postponed.{{cite web|url=http://www.carscoops.com/2013/12/wiesmann-emerges-from-insolvency-will.html|title=Wiesmann Emerges from Insolvency, Will Meet Creditors on December 16|author=Carscoop Carscoop|work=Carscoops}} A UK-based consortium was interested in taking over Wiesmann and resuming production, but the company was closed a month later. London-based investor Roheen Berry bought out the company and became its CEO.{{Cite web|date=2019-12-08|title=Wiesmann MF6 Spied In The Wild|url=https://carbuzz.com/news/wiesmann-mf6-spied-in-the-wild|access-date=2021-03-08|website=CarBuzz|language=en-us}}

MF30 / MF3

File:Wiesmann-Roadster-MF30.jpg

The Wiesmann MF30 is the first Wiesmann model ever built, with cars entering production in 1993.{{Cite web |title=HISTORY |url=https://wiesmann.com/pages/history |access-date=2023-08-26 |website=Wiesmann Sports Cars GmbH |language=en}}

The MF30 is powered by a six-cylinder M54B30 engine borrowed from BMW, with a capacity of 2979 cm³ and a power output of {{convert|170|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} at 5,900 rpm and {{convert|300|Nm|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 3,400 rpm. It has a dry weight of {{convert|1080|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.9 seconds, with a top speed of {{convert|230|km/h|mi/h|0|abbr=on}}.

The model was discontinued in order to give way to the new, slightly modified model named MF3.{{Cite web |last=Njuguna |first=Marcus |date=2022-03-21 |title=A Detailed Look At The Wiesmann MF30 |url=https://www.hotcars.com/a-detailed-look-at-the-wiesmann-mf30/ |access-date=2023-08-26 |website=HotCars |language=en}}

Image:Duelmen Wiesmann MF.jpg

The primary difference between the MF3 and the MF30 was the new engine. The engine featured on the MF3 was a BMW S54, which is originally from the M3 (E46). The engine has a displacement of 3246 cc with a maximum power output of {{convert|252|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} at 7900 rpm, and a maximum torque of {{convert|365|Nm|ftlbf|0|abbr=on}} at 4900 rpm. With the new engine and due to its weight of {{convert|1180|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, this car can accelerate from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.0 sec and reaching a maximum speed of {{convert|255|km/h|mi/h|0|abbr=on}}. The MF3 came with a five-speed manual transmission as basic, and a six-speed sequential gearbox as an option. Another additional option were the 20-inch rims running on (front: 235/30/20, rear: 285/25/20) rubber.
