Filed under: Frankfurt Motor Show , Convertible , Performance , Europe , Specialty , Luxury Weismann MF5 Roadster - Click above for high-res image Wiesmann’s made an all-out drop-top assault in 2009, beginning with the 367-hp V8-powered MF4 Roadster unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March. As reported earlier, the retrotastic automaker hailing from Dulmen, Germany is bringing another open-aired creation to the Frankfurt Motor Show , and it’s finally released a teaser shot to whet our appetites ahead of the big day. Powered by the BMW M5/M6-derived V10, Weismann says the 507-hp MF5 Roadster hits the magic 60 MPH mark in 3.9 seconds - the same as its fixed roof sibling - and can blast to a top speed of 192 mph. Aside from the cloth roof, the body remains unchanged and all the standard equipment carries over to the Roadster, including the dual airbags, ABS and stability control. Pricing is expected to crest the $250,000 mark, but with Weismann only planning to produce 55 examples, we have little doubt they’ll find their way into enthusiastic collector’s garages. Make the jump for the official release.
