Wiesmann
Spyder Concept
Wiesmann
, a small German manufacturer who started their career making hardtops for
convertibles, has revealed the new Spyder Concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The
new concept is a two-seater, extremely purist, convertible sports car that will
make it to production, but not before 2012. We are not sure just yet if the
production version will also be offered with no doors and windscreen. The
company described the Spyder as the most extreme Wiesmann ever built.
The
new Spyder concept weighs only 1000 kilos and will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4
seconds, while top speed goes up to 180 mph. 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.
