Wiesmann - never heard of them...

'The return of an icon': The revival of German car maker Wiesmann

Wiesmann is known for combining German engineering and design with British style, but the automaker hasn't released a new model for almost a decade. That's until Project Thunderball, a new EV that signifies the company's re-entry into the market.

Hi Shane,
Those are the 2 Wiesmann (their surname) brothers who built these roadsters with M engines. Very classic designs and expensive cars….they closed shop a few yrs ago.

Here’s a link for some of them for sale…..

Hey Keshav, thank you for the info, pretty cool for sure! It's rare I haven't at least seen or heard of a mark, especially BMW related, so it took me a bit off-guard. Learn something new everyday I tell ya...I guess I can go home now...LOL.

To me they definitely have English design cue's...reminds me of some of the Morgan's a bit.

Great looking especially the back. I wonder if they are tackling the electrification alone, or they assemble it out of existing parts.
Alone would be hard. Ford with some Koreans just got 9.2B$ loans from DOE (undisclosed terms means probably way below market interest) to build battery plants. How can a small player compete? Perhaps their cars are so exclusive that cost is not an issue at all, but they need access to battery technology, cannot do 500 HP on AAA batteries .
