Independent car manufacturer Wisemann has presented a two-seater sports car concept at thi 81st Geneva Motor Show, which according to them, has been designed for maximum driving enjoyment.
Considering that form follows function we will not say anything about its design, because what matters is what you feel when you are behind the wheel right? So the Wiesmann Spyder Concept is ultra light (below 1,000 Kg) accelerates from nought to 62 mph (0 to 100 Km/h) in less then 4 seconds, and promises a top speed of around 290 Km/h. What more do you need?
You certainly don’t need doors and a windscreen, because as we’ve said this is an extremely purist model.
If everything goes according to plans, production for the Wiesmann Spyder could start sometime in 2013.
Wiesmann Press release :
Wiesmann showcased the design study of a two-seater, extremely purist, convertible sports car at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011. More than anything, this car was designed for maximum
driving enjoyment.
Powerful, ultra-light and purist, the Wiesmann Spyder is the essence of Wiesmann’s philosophy. With a kerb weight of less than 1000 kg, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h less than 4 s and
makes a top speed of approx. 290 km/h. The two-seater has no doors or windscreen and is the
most extreme Wiesmann ever built.
The Wiesmann Spyder design study is based on the Wiesmann brothers’ early designs, though it also incorporates their many years of experience in sports car construction. It demonstrates the sports car manufacturer’s receptiveness to trends because many Wiesmann fans have approached the company founders in recent years with requests for an extremely purist model.
Wiesmann has not yet decided whether to put the Spyder into production. If it does go into
production, this won’t be before 2012.
