Default OT: Can you name this car......
I have a friend visiting Europe right now, and she sent me these photos asking me if I know what kind of car this is. I'm clueless and thought I'd check with my extended family on Rennlist to see if you guys could help me out...

Ideas?

LOL Andreas, agreed ... thankfully the same can't be said about the back

Here is one exactly the same Matt white color one of our detailers recently did in Spain:

I am sure it is very nice, but, it looks like an overblown body kit to me.

The Wiesmann is like a kit car, with really bad interior. Outside looks better then the inside. Way overpriced too. You don't see very many on German streets. They come with 6 and 8 cyl. BMW engines.
