A success story: Some lives really seem to be predetermined. The founders of the company, brothers Martin and Friedhelm Wiesmann, have been under the grips of their "car" fascination from early on and until today it has not let go.
A visit to the 1985 Essen Motor Show provided the kick-start for an ambitious goal: the realisation of their own sports car with a fascinating old-fashioned shape, but with state-of-the-art technology. Because the cars exhibited in Essen did not arouse the feeling that Martin and Friedhelm Wiesmann expected of a sports car of this class: passion.
What followed is a prime example of what thought, drive and perseverance can achieve. Their modest beginnings in their cellar were simply the prelude to the impressive development of their company, which today, more than 1.200 sports cars later, continues.
Today Wiesmann is the leading manufacturer for puristic sports cars, with extensive experience in design and car development.
