But forgetting the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/wiesmann\">Wiesmann<\/a> GT would be a cardinal sin and capital offense, because the niche-market sportscar is among the most tantalizing on the road. While the design may be decidedly old-school, Wiesmann works tirelessly to keep it fresh with successive updates to propel this time-machine well past the requisite 88 miles per hour and out from the past and into the present. <\/p>\n<p>At this year&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/category\/geneva-motor-show\/\">Geneva Motor Show<\/a>, the small German outfit rolled out the modestly updated GT MF4-S. New bi-xenon headlamps show the way home and a new automatically- or manually-actuated retractable spoiler keeps the tail planted. Under the hood, the MF4-S is treated to the same 4.0-liter, 420-horsepower V8 as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/m3\">BMW M3<\/a> from which it&#8217;s sourced and, more poignantly, the MF4-S Roadster. All in all not major changes, but then who ever said the Wiesmann needed much changed?<\/p>\n<p>The Wiesmann GT MF4-S will push you to highway speeds in four seconds flat and cost 133,000 euros (equivalent to about $175k). If that&#8217;s too rich for your blood, you can take a gander in the galleries below and browse the details in the press release after the jump.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/wiesmann-mf4-s\/low\/\">Geneva 2010: Wiesmann GT MF4-S<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/wiesmann-mf4-s\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/12wiesmann-mf4s-genf_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/wiesmann-mf4-s\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/01wiesmann-mf4s-genf_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/wiesmann-mf4-s\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/04wiesmann-mf4s-genf_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/wiesmann-mf4-s\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/07wiesmann-mf4s-genf_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/wiesmann-mf4-s\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/08wiesmann-mf4s-genf_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos by Noah Joseph \/ <\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small>Copyright (C)2010<\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small> Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/03\/geneva-2010-wiesmann-gt-mf4-s-gives-em-something-to-talk-about\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Geneva 2010: Wiesmann GT MF4-S gives &#8217;em something to talk about<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/03\/geneva-2010-wiesmann-gt-mf4-s-gives-em-something-to-talk-about\/\">Geneva 2010: Wiesmann GT MF4-S gives &#8217;em something to talk about<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:57:00 EST.
