i think it looks quite nice, really, a good blend of classic styling and modern technology. they really are very well built, and if you have seen one up close, the styling seems much better "in the flesh", kinda like a BMW Z4. the qulity is also simply mind blowing.

Just look at the power-to-weight-ratio. Impressive isn't it? And in real life it's bloody beautiful, believe me!

Good looking car, some details need adjustments to make it look even better, in my opinion that is. First the front grille reminds me a lot of old Alfas, so, if it was for me, I'd put an Alfa v6 under the hood and have the front grille modified to look exactly like an Alfa (unfortunately Wiesmann doesn't sound good at all in my ears and doesn't satisfy my eyes either). I'd rather see a transparent covering for the headlights, it would fit perfectly in this retr�Ebody and would be more practical, easier to keep clean and would help the styling looking more cohesive. In my opinion the roof needs some major reworking too. It's simply too angular (looking the front side picture, while the back view has lots of personality) the windscreen too rectangular, should look better if more curved on top. I guess it's a very small car and the doors are very little, extending them to part of the roof (think about those on the Ford GT40) would help average height people getting inside more easily (just think about how hard it is for normal people to get inside an Elise with the top on). The side-windows would also look better if slightly curved and not just flat as they're now. The rear-view mirrors look completely out of place (ugly rectangular and cheap looking ...somehow reminiscent of those mounted on the old Fiat Uno of the '80s, and I bet U don't want your beloved sportscar to look like that) , something like those seen ont he new Mini (by BMW) but a little smaller would look better. Finally (almost) the wheel-arches lip (or how do U call them in english) are just too prominent, this way the car loses way too much elegance (and I think the quest for some old fashioned elegance is the main point of this car looks). Then, just minor details would benefit from little touching up, like the exhaust pipes section, the lower lip of the hatch, details of the side air exhaust, and maybe provide a little upper lip on the carplate housing concealing the plate lights. Now try to get all the pieces together in your mind and see if U like it the way I'd like it to be ^_^

I'm quite fussy about exterior and styling. For the same reason I found previous Wiesmann models a little bit pre-maturely released into production. This car on the other hand ROCKS. It looks so groovy. Being based on Bimmer-technology, I'm quite sure it goes like heaven too. It looks retro but that's not always a problem. I'm not too sure why you don't like it 'nis'? Have you seen one in flesh and blood? (Not like I have, just wondering...)
 Wiesmann GT... I LIKE!

This is a lot better looking that the Morgan Aero 8 and the spec seems to be just as good. Now what we really need to do is to stuff an M5 engine in there and then take it to Novack to get 500 ponies out of it.
 a german jaguar??

This car is gorgeous! it jus has looks to die for,it looks more britsh in apperance than german.German cars are normally cold and sterial in appearance, but this car has warmth, it has those same elegant conours,and gracefull smooth lines assoiciated with british auto makers like jaguar and bentley. As much as i like the way it looks i cant help but think ,that the design has plagerised bits from different cars, the head lights for example look like they hav been copyied from a TVR cerbera speed 12, the front grill looks like it came from a jaguar s-type, the side looks like it came from a merc SL500, and the back?.....well it seems like a mix of a TVR tuscan S and a PT crusier

wonderful, beautiful, spectacular. this is apsolutely one of the best cars i have ever seen. 4.5 seconds to 60. great. engine is really good, plus the car is prety light. 1190 kg. it goes pretty fast-280 km/h. engine is the latest product of bmw and uses the latest technology. compare yhis to a porsche. wiesmann has to win. i want one for myself.

Wow, an amazing work in automotive design. This car brings back those lines from the E-type, 330 GTO, maybe even the 275 GTB with that fastback look. Just an absolutely stunning profile. As for the front and rear, that's a menacing stance. Couldn't you just see this car parked next to a XK150 on one side and an E-type roadster on the other?
