Wiesmann are understood to be debuting a new powerplant for their awesome GT at this year’s Frankfurt Auto Show. We told you last year that the Dülmen based company was in talks with BMW to use the Bavarian’s award winning 507bhp 5.0L V10 as found in the mighty M5 and M6 - well they’ve sealed the deal. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Bartek Sikorski For This Useful Post: | | | Global Moderator

It'll be good publicity though, especially as I believe Wiesmann is to limit production on this V10 MF4. Not sure of the exact number of units though. | | | | | GCZ's High Court

The Wiesmann GT is about to get a mad, bad engine to match its mad, bad looks. Available since inception with BMW's 362 HP V8 that gets it to the six-oh in 4.6, the niche maker from Muenster is said to be considering a variant that hides the M-edition five-liter V10. If Wiesmann didn't alter the car in any way, it would be an instant boost of 148 HP for a car that weighs quite a bit less than 3,000 pounds. That would raise its performance -- and its handling -- from 'more than adequate' to 'absolute nutter.' There's a chance the car could do its first meet-and-greet at the Frankfurt Auto Show next month. | | | | | GCZ's High Court
