Wiesmann Project Thunderball unveiled
Following insolvency proceedings and a subsequent change of ownership, German sports car manufacturer Wiesmann is back. Its next model is previewed by Project Thunderball, which is a two-seat, rear-wheel drive, battery-electric roadster.

Twin rear-mid motors provide a combined 680 PS (670 bhp / 500 kW) plus 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) of peak torque. Delivered via a single-speed transmission, those output figures promise rapid acceleration. Indeed, the target 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time is 2.9 seconds, while the 0-124 mph (200 km/h) sprint should take 8.9 seconds.

A relatively light kerb weight of 1,775 kg (3,913 lb) certainly helps to realise such performance potential. Project Thunderball is built around an aluminium spaceframe, while the body panels are made from carbon fibre.

Energy is stored in a mid-mounted, water-glycol-cooled, 800-volt battery pack with a generous capacity of 92 kWh. Consequently, the anticipated WLTP range is over 310 miles (500 kilometres).

The specification includes an onboard 22 kW AC recharger for domestic use, but public DC rapid charging at up to 300 kW is also supported. In addition, there’s a five-setting regenerative braking system that’s adjusted by paddles on the steering wheel.
