WIESMANN ROADSTER MF3
The Wiesmann Roadster MF3 is the first work of Dülmener sports car manufacturer. The sporty two-seater is made by hand since 1993.
The technique of the convertible comes in large part on the BMW M3. With the Wiesmann Roadster MF3 the classic design with a long bonnet, the long sloping rear and the combination of a short front overhang and long overhang was behind the first placed Dülmener models for mass production. Under the timeless lines of a space frame serves as a framework. The body is made of glass fiber reinforced composite material.
For the roadster enthusiasts who suffer from tunnel vision to the British, he is nothing, the two-seater with the simple name of Germany Wiesmann . The Union Jack, the clientele of the most mustachioed Morgan, Westfield Company and likes to wear clearly visible on the vehicle sides is, as its only real legitimacy in the realm of sports car with a fabric roof and sparse stick Santander suspension.
Polynuclear Roadster come from England. But not all. The Wiesmann MF3 with BMW technology is a German accent. The latest version of the Wiesmann sports car under the long hood carries the 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder from the BMW M3.
For driving in the Wiesmann Roadster MF3 the 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine from the E46 M3 Series. The 343-hp engine was recently changed to meet the Euro 5 emissions standards and accelerates the nearly 1,200-pound Wiesmann Roadster MF3 in 4.9 seconds from zero to 100 km / h The maximum speed is 255 km / h.
The suspension also come from the M3, the chassis made completely of aluminum Wiesmann, and the body is composed of glass reinforced plastic. Thus, the Roadster is a curb weight of just 1,225 kilograms. No wonder it enormously moving forward. When started, the extremely wide tires on the drive axle literally claw into the asphalt. The circuit breaks when shifting are reduced to a min-nimum. Nevertheless, the fall is not unpleasantly hard jolt - in praise of the Wiesmann not get around to noting that the vote of the SMG transmission is successful convincing. At any rate better than that of the sports exhaust. The blows at high engine speed, as if the Wiesmann made for racing. For a short acceleration orgies that may well be quite impressive. But the booming frequencies that blend in with the trumpeting sound, massaging the ear drums during a prolonged stay at high speeds so effectively that you like to voluntarily releases the accelerator pedal.
The Wiesmann-Roadster, and that's really surprising is, as a notable exception in the group of micro-series cars. This proves primarily to the high rigidity of its construction. Although the stiff suspension is the best way to shake the very foundations of the body, things are quiet - even on country roads behind the lowest order. No tremors, no rattles, no crackling in the ample cockpit distributed leather. The animal skins convincing clean processing, how to recognize the cockpit at all that functionality in the design was predominant. The seating position behind the small steering wheel fits like a glove, the operation switch to be no mystery. Even so the Wiesmann makes it clear that he does not show object will be to take a stroll on the city boulevards. But a serious tool for sporty driving. Sure, the powerful and even the smallest movements of the accelerator pedal toxic zubeißende six-cylinder plays the main role. Although he by no means, as it suggests its key figures, only at extremely high speeds at home.
In the lower speed range, he pulls through powerful, the sixth gear can already be used for city driving speeds. Because the engine has significantly less weight to carry with him than in his original M3 environment, it affects the Wiesmann more powerful, yet sovereign.
Impressive performance is the formula to produce "powerful engine, light car," of course, no art. Higher expectations for a small manufacturer like Wiesmann, which has no army of test drivers makes available to the tuning of the chassis. With a good technical base is known as the most important step already taken.
The BMW Wiesmann genes show up in their best: extremely nimble handling with a very precise responsive steering, good directional stability at high speed, confidence-inspiring sta-bility in fast corners. Is plenty of fresh air on top of that, and who does not wish to, can still be find at Wiesmann: Recently there is also a coupe version.
