Wiesmann GT MF5 Roadster

For those that might not know, Wiesmann is a small German boutique automobile manufacturer, founded in 1985 by brothers Martin Wiesmann and Friedhelm Wiesmann. While the brothers started off doing custom convertible hard-tops, they have throughout the years created their own unique array of car designs, and one such example is the elegantly commanding , Wiesmann GT MF5 Roadster.

Integrating both a powerful engine and a unique design (somewhat reminiscent of a TVR Tuscan) the Wiesmann GT MF5 Roadster is built upon an aluminum monocoque chassis and features a fiberglass shell with a front and rear- double wishbone suspension. Under the regal hood, a TwinScroll Twin Turbo V8 churning out 555 horsepower can be felt  — especially since the MF5 Roadster can achieve 0-62 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 193 mph.

Sadly, Wiesmann does not offer their line of autos this side of the Atlantic — and with no clear plans to do so any time soon –it  looks like these pictures will have to do until then.

The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
