The Wiesmann GT MF5, a headlining car on the latest Full Throttle tour, is set to receive an open-air sibling with the debut of the Roadster MF5 at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt.

The Roadster MF5 will be produced in a limited edition run of just 55 units worldwide, each boasting a BMW-sourced V10 engine which it shares with the GT.

This engine develops peak power of 378kW and 520Nm, resulting in a top speed of 310km/h and a zero to 100km/h sprint of just 3.9 seconds.

Its exterior will remain largely unchanged from the typical retro-style design, although Wiesmann is keeping tight-lipped on the exact details of its new removable lid.

The Roadster version of the MF5 will gain an extendable rear wing for precise handling on the race track and on the road, coupled with a retuned suspension setup which guarantees stability, even at top speeds.

The torsion-resistant aluminium monocoque with integrated side-impact protection, dual stage driver and passenger airbags, ABS, DSC and many other safety features ensure that the driver still feels safe, even when his endorphin levels are sky high.
