The German coachbuilders Weismann unveiled the new
MF5 Roadster at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The MF5 is limited to only 55 units,
each priced at 189,500 Euros and features the classic curves of an English
sports car at first glance with an unparalleld driving experience that could
only come from a modern day high tech package.
The Weismann MF5 roadster is powered by a 5.0 Liter
V10 from a BMW M5 mounted in the front midship position for better weight
distribution and features a few tricks to ensure that all 507 HP and 384 lb-ft
of torque make it to the ground through the BMW sourced SMG sequential 7 speed
gearbox that allows it to rocket from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.9 seconds on its
way to reaching a top speed of 307 km/h.
With this much power comes great responsability, so
the MF5’safety system includes: an integrated side impact protection beam, ABS,
DSC, a safety steering column that is adjustable in both height and length,
BMW’s security system including an electronic engine immobilizer (EWS III), 3
point harness, Hydraulic Power Steering and the oh so important driver and
passenger airbags.
