Wiesmann GmbH
Dülmen, Germany
Founded in 1988 by brothers, engineer Martin Wiesmann and businessman Friedhelm Wiesmann, Wiesmann started out as a manufacturer of low-volume sports cars. All hand-built, the cars were beautifully finished and thanks to German precision engineering and its pioneering, unmistakeably unique design, offered incredible handling and performance, not to mention, exceptional build quality. Following the classic sports car configuration of long swooping bonnet and short rear end, they built cars for enthusiasts with a great appreciation for design performance and luxury. Thanks to the bespoke production process, every car is unique allowing each owner to fully appreciate the personalisation experience leading to a completely individual car. The company, which had its factory in Dülmen, was founded by brothers, engineer Martin Wiesmann and businessman Friedhelm Wiesmann, in 1988. The business was liquidated in May 2014
In August 2018, it was announced that Wiesmann marks its return to bespoke sports car manufacturing, under new ownership and with plans for a reengineered model to come out of the Dulmen factory in Germany within 2 years with a display of two of its V8 powered Heritage Editions, a GTMF5 Coupe and an MF4 Roadster.
Over the course of 30 years, Wiesmann sold state-of-the-art hand-made cars through Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Today, Wiesmann’s iconic factory and production headquarters, built in the form of the brand’s unmistakable gecko logo, serves as the heart for the current design & manufacturing program that will see the unveiling of an exciting new model next year in 2019.
