Wiesmann is back in the V10 business, at least in spirit. The boutique German brand has rolled out the MF5 Tributo as a surprise at Pebble Beach during Monterey Car Week, resurrecting one of its wildest retro sports cars just as it was supposed to be all-in on electric power.
That twist matters because the original MF5, built in tiny numbers from 2008 until Wiesmann’s 2013 collapse, was basically a coachbuilt BMW M5 in a shrunken, curvy suit. Now the badge returns as the company’s EV program stalls, but without a confirmed engine, leaving big questions about what kind of BMW heart sits under that long hood.
