Geneva 2013: The new Wiesmann GT MF4-CS revels in classic racing elements without the extras

By Marcus Amick Published March 6, 2013

By today’s standards, the new Wiesmann GT MF4-Club Sport, or CS, unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show sticks out as a bit unusual in a field of angular supercars.

Like a lot of the vehicles on display this week in Geneva, the CS has a very exclusive production run. Only 25 of the vehicles will be made to celebrate the 25^th anniversary of Wiesmann.

But the true distinguishing element of the GT MF4-CS is that the engineers have forgone some of the typical new car amenities to provide owners with a more authentic performance experience behind the wheel.

The significantly slimmed-down interior of the two-seater does not come with a GPS system, air conditioning or a radio – quite the opposite of the standard Bluetooth and other tech available on a lot of new cars now. Photos show the top of the center console is dominated by seven old-school analog gauges.

Instead, the GT MF4- CS features exposed roll bars and a quick-grab fire extinguisher inside, which speaks to the raw power of the car on the track and as a unique road vehicle.

The rear-wheel-drive Wiesmann GT MF4-CS is powered by a front-mid engine V8 that kicks out 309 kw/420 hp and 400 nm /295 lb-ft of torque. The car has a top speed of 293 kmh/182 mph and clocks a 0-62 mph time of about 4.4 seconds.

The body is made of a high-quality, glass fiber shell with a curb weight of a little under 1,350 kg (3,000 lbs.). Other features include a green-tinted multi-layer glass front window and a carbon rear wing.

Pricing starts at 193,193.28 EUR or about $251,000 (basic net price including standard equipment).

Mini’s infotainment system is very charming, but still needs work

Main screen of the Mini infotainment system

When you think Mini, you probably don’t think of infotainment. Personally, I think of the British flag taillights, the distinct exterior, and the surprising room on the inside. But after driving the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman over the past week, infotainment might well be something I think of more often when it comes to Mini. It’s charming.

It also, however, suffers from all the traps that other legacy automakers fall into when it comes to software design. Mini has something on its hands here — but it still needs some work.
Bringing the charm
The first thing that stood out to me about the system when I got in the car was how fun it was. That all starts with the display. It’s round! No, it’s not curved — the screen is a big, round display sits in at 9.4 inches, and I found it plenty large enough for day-to-day use.

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular. Why? And will it continue?

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.
