The Return of an Icon
from Delamar Hotel
The Perfect Blend of Advanced Technology, Superlative Design and Craftsmanship
Established in 1988, Wiesmann manufactures cars for the purist in all of us. Best known for combining German innovation, engineering and design with classic British elegance and style, Wiesmann has not deviated from its founding vision, resulting in hand-built, bespoke vehicles that have been – and will continue to be recognised by connoisseurs as some of the world’s most iconic sports cars. The all new Wiesmann Project Thunderball will build upon that legacy and propel itself elegantly into the future.

Wiesmann’s ground-breaking all-electric roadster is now available to reserve. Wiesmann will be the first to market, anywhere in the world, with an all-electric, two-seater convertible. Customers are now able to register an interest for Project Thunderball on www.wiesmann.com to secure a place on the customer reservations list.
This follows on from the car's successful global debut at this year’s prestigious amfAR Gala in Cannes, and the return of the Wiesmann brand with the world’s first all-electric luxury roadster. The first customer deliveries are on track to begin in 2024.
Project Thunderball, the world-first all-electric convertible roadster, will be crafted from advanced carbon fibre, weighing in at little more than 1700kg (3747lb), with a power to weight ratio of 2.5kg per HP, bringing remarkable agility and handling more than worthy of the Wiesmann badge.
Roheen Berry, CEO of Wiesmann: “Project Thunderball is the car that will bring Wiesmann into the new electrified era. Since revealing the car in April we have seen an overwhelming response from potential customers. The car is driving beautifully and our investment in the technology such as the regenerative breaking and latest battery technology has paid off. The
Wiesmann brand not only has such a storied and wonderful past and legacy, but a bright and exciting future ahead of it.”
Production of Project Thunderball will take place at Wiesmann’s ‘Gecko’ factory, a stunning state-of the-art facility in Dülmen, Germany and will be available in the US. Project Thunderball will be carefully crafted by many of the team which helped grow this iconic German brand, the last truly independent European sports car marque remaining today, alongside some fresh new talent, using the most modern production technology while retaining Wiesmann’s reputation for bespoke German coachbuilding expertise of the highest order.
