German car manufacturer Weismann has unveiled its new powerful electric car, the Wiesmann Project Thunderball. It is a roadster based on a unique platform, and the company still hasn’t announced the start of production, even though they have started receiving orders.

“This is the culmination of a dream, the result of years of design excellence and engineering brilliance. I truly believe we’ve made not just the world’s most exciting electric sports car, but a car so unique that it will appreciate in value over its lifetime,” said Roheen Berry, owner of Weismann.

To preserve the classic shape, Wiesmann moved the cabin as far back as possible. This was a very difficult task due to the position of the two electric motors located just behind the cockpit that drive the rear wheels. The T-shaped battery is positioned to lower the car’s center of gravity, occupying the central tunnel and extending to the front wheels.

The Wiesmann Project Thunderball is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 680 hp (500 kW) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a single-speed gearbox with a limited slip differential. It reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 8.9 seconds. Thanks to 92kWh battery capacity (83kWh available) Project Thunderball has a range of 500 km. It’s mounted on a set of Weismann Aero 21-inch wheels wrapped in 265/30 ZR 21 (front) and 305/25 ZR 21 (rear) Michelin PS 4S tires.

The company announced that the car will be manufactured at Wiesmann’s Gecko plant in Germany. The starting price of the car is €300,000 EUR.
