Posted 19th September, 2006 in Wiesmann | Leave a comment

Wiesmann is boosting production as it gears up for sales in the United States by 2010.

Martin Wiesmann (company co-owner) stated “The decision has been taken, there is no elaborate plan yet. We won’t start our own dealer network, and we need partners.”

If U.S. sales take off, the company’s retro-styled cars could see a power hike in the future.

“The turbocharged engines that BMW will offer could be a viable option,” said Wiesmann. “The GT is designed to be able to host all BMW engines, including the V10 from the M5, and even the V12.”
