FactEvery Wiesmann on the road traces back to this car — the MF30 was the gecko-badged brand's very first model, entering production in 1993.
The Wiesmann MF30, the first Wiesmann model ever built, entered production in 1993 — a hand-built roadster from the niche Dülmen, Germany manufacturer, on a galvanized-steel/aluminium-clad chassis with a fibreglass-composite body. Its BMW-sourced 2,979 cc M54B30 straight-six made 170 kW (231 PS, 228 hp) at 5,900 rpm and 221 lb-ft at 3,400 rpm, good for 0-100 km/h in 5.0s and a 230 km/h (143 mph) top speed; dry weight was 1,080 kg (2,381 lb). Rear-wheel drive; length 3.86 m (152 in), width 1.75 m (69 in), height 1.16 m (46 in). Discontinued to make way for the more powerful MF3, itself later replaced by the MF4 (both mentioned on the same page, but only the MF30 and MF4 are given clear production-year ranges, so only those two are mined here).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

This was the year the Virage's automatic finally got a fourth gear — Aston swapped in a four-speed automatic to replace the original three-speed unit for the 1993 model year.
Audi's first drop-top since 1959 barely made a dent stateside: the V6 Cabriolet sold just 5,445 units across its entire five-year run in the US market.
This Azure's V8 exists because of a corporate grudge: when VW won the fight for Bentley, BMW threatened to cut off engine supply — forcing VW to rebuild the 6.75-litre V8 itself, twin-turbos and all.
Bentley never even considered a roll-bar for the Azure's convertible top — they just reinforced the chassis instead and let the design stay pure.
The F8 Spider's folding hardtop raises or lowers in just 14 seconds, and you can do it on the move, at up to 28 mph.
Bentley hid a charging nook for iPads between the rear seats of the Continental GT Convertible — a 2015 update that quietly conceded the future was tablets, not just wood veneer.
Bentley built just 710 of these second-generation Supersports worldwide, coupe and convertible combined — one of the rarest W12 Bentleys ever made.
The Auburn Twelve's V12 outlived the car by decades — its engine design became the basis for American LaFrance fire truck powerplants that stayed in service into the 1950s.
