The test will be released on the 17th September in the next issue of AutoBild Sportscars. I can't wait for the results and their opinion about the cars! Probably the test will contain Nürburgring Grand Prix-circuit tracktimes, acceleration-, flexibility- and braking-results.

The contenders:

• Ferrari 458 Italia
• Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera
• Lexus LFA
• Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
• Nissan GT-R
• Porsche 911 Turbo S
• Wiesmann GT MF5

 

[Mr Robert]

There should have been a 599 GTO in there, but I guess they need to spread the field a bit too...

I am happy that the magic V10 is still in production.

..and in Wiesmann body it performs miracles

..and in Wiesmann body it performs miracles

It has not only the M5 V10 engine but also the 7-speed DKG gearbox from the M3. Imagine a car with just 1420kg, a V10 engine and DKG!!!

Just look here to see how it performs:

Wiesmann GT MF5 im Test: Traumwagen mit BMW M5-Zehnzylinder | Sportauto

It is faster than the 458 Italia round the Hockenheim!!!

the time is 1.09,7 min

 

[DeDe]

It has not only the M5 V10 engine but also the 7-speed DKG gearbox from the M3.

No, it's the SMG-gearbox from the M5/M6.
DKG is only available with the i6, 343 hp engine from the old M3.

EDIT: ^^ DKG is available with the 4,8 litre V8 (367 hp)

 

[Karabiner98k]

No, it's the SMG-gearbox from the M5/M6.
DKG is only available with the i6, 343 hp engine from the old M3.

But it is the DKG gearbox, just look at the ratios:

I. 4.78, II. 2.933, III. 2.153, IV. 1.678, V. 1.39, VI. 1.203, VII. 1

And the final drive ratio: 3.15

This is exactly the ratios for the M3.

They mentioned SMG in that article and in the Supertest, as well.

That's a mistake on Sportauto's side. It's the SMGIII of the E60 M5: Wiesmann - The individualist manufacturer | GT MF5 Technical data

DKG is only available with the i6, 343 hp engine from the old M3.

EDIT: ^^ DKG is available with the 4,8 litre V8 (367 hp)

DKG is only available for the MF4 S, which also has the S65 engine of the E9x M3.

Yes, they said SMG M5 (E60/E61) but these ratios are not for the SMG.

Is it a type error then?

Yes. And not for the first time...

 

[Karabiner98k]

Yes. And not for the first time...

That is not expected from Germans

I saw several examples in the last 7 years since I've started to collect Sport Auto and AMS.

Yes, i have seen many mistakes in AMS too.

Look here:


How is it possible that fifth gear in this car is shorter than it's fourth car??

IV 1.03 V 1.06

Different final gear ratio @ 5th and 6th gear. That's why. It's not a mistake.

 

[DeDe]

I hope they put out some videos of this. Epicness like this should be for print only!

 

[Laurent T]

There are exciting weeks ahead. Can't wait to see the results.

 

[DeDe]

Additional info:
They spent 4 days at the Nürburgring, because of the tricky weather...

You mean "shouldn't be for print only!" ? I agree, hopefully they will release some great videos as well!
