The entire first year of production of the Wiesmann ‘Project Thunderball’ – the world’s first all-electric luxury roadster – has already sold out. Since the order book opened in September last year, demand from customers worldwide has been exceptional, with the two-seater now allocated for the first year of production.
Production will commence in 2024 at Wiesmann’s ‘Gecko’ facility in Dülmen, Germany, where cutting-edge manufacturing technology and skilled craftsmanship come together to deliver the brand’s unique blend of precision engineering and bespoke coachbuilding expertise. First customer deliveries will begin in 2024.
Revealed in April 2022, the Wiesmann Project Thunderball is the world’s first all-electric luxury roadster. Featuring a classic two-seat, rear-wheel drive layout and lightweight carbon fibre construction, this is a car that delivers the performance, responsiveness, and engagement that enthusiasts demand.
The German-engineered roadster’s dynamics are aided by packaging the two electric motors in a rear-mid mounted position, which have a targeted total output of 500kW (680hp) and 1,100 Nm of instant torque to deliver a targeted 0-62mph (0-100km/h) acceleration time of just 2.9 seconds.
Powering the motors is a state-of-the-art, 800-volt, 92kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This enables an exceptional targeted range of 500km (WLTP), along with the convenience of super-fast charging of up to 300kW (DC).
