Description: This one relates to the series we did last week, as it's a sort of low-volume retro, although not a revival of an older nameplate. You may have heard of Wiesmann from its appearance on Top Gear, ...Add Comments3
Sebastian GreySep 21, 2012 I first heard of Weismann from Test Drive Unlimited back in 06!
Paul LissonaSep 21, 2012 Yah that's what it is ha.
Matty MichaelsSep 20, 2012 Next up: Subrau SVX... Or whatever the weird window thingy is.
Dillon MageeSep 20, 2012 That looks fantastic. The red compliments it well too.
Janak SolankiSep 20, 2012 Those are some killer curves. Very sexy.
Jeff LinkSep 20, 2012 Work of art. Really like this.
Dylan BruderSep 20, 2012 It is it popped up later in the article
Brandon LidySep 20, 2012 Yeah I think it's the twin turbo 4.4
Dylan BruderSep 20, 2012 Slick besides that though don't these have a 4.4 in them?
Dylan BruderSep 20, 2012 Wheel arches are very odd
Carlton SalmonSep 20, 2012 That looks soooo good. They sound incredible too.
John SerelySep 20, 2012 I love these, they look great

Jordan SeguraSep 25, 2012 Mercedes-Benz: "The name “Shooting Brake” is historically based on a British term that was used to describe a motorized vehicle that was used to carry shooting parties and their equipment. In more modern times it has been used to describe three and five door cars where the characteristics of an estate and a coupé are brought together to create stylistic yet functional vehicles."
John SerelySep 20, 2012 I thought it was a 2 door wagon (NOT a two door hatch). But, like a lot of terms, it is used very loosely
Dillon DixonSep 20, 2012 Usually it's another term for wagon. There isn't an actual trunk, the roof extend to the rear if the car.
Brandon LidySep 20, 2012 From my understanding, a shooting brake usually has a roofline that slopes into the rear of the car. Typically long ass cars. Just look at the silhouettes of any weissman coupe, the FF, and the z3 and you should see similarities
Paul LissonaSep 20, 2012 I agree that's what it is, yup.
Kyle RawnSep 20, 2012 I'd say that was a pretty accurate description. Well done sir
Matty MichaelsSep 20, 2012 It's means a car that's so ugly, you shoot it till it breaks (i.e. Ferrari ff)
Jordan JacksonSep 20, 2012 Can anyone explain to me what a shooting brake is? I've never heard that term until I got the CarBuzz app
Description: One might think that, as with the MG, all of this simplicity translates into a low price, but the GT MF4 starts at around $180,000, a bold price to go with a bold body style. But the car really is bea...Add Comments0
Paul LissonaSep 21, 2012 What do you say about plasti dip?
Janak SolankiSep 20, 2012 I think this would look much better if they replaced the headlight cluster with a single light like the Ferraris from the 60's.
uptownSep 20, 2012 I love everything but the headlights
Paul DickeySep 20, 2012 Idk why you're complaining. That's how they make money and keep their app running.
Jahaziel OrtizSep 20, 2012 Was that an ad in my article!!! Sigh car buzz you were doing so good!
John M WeishahnSep 20, 2012 Reminds me of the Dubonnet Hispano. That's high praise!
Carlton SalmonSep 20, 2012 Now that's what you call stance!
John SerelySep 20, 2012 It's so...unique (which is a good thing lol(

Jordan JacksonSep 20, 2012 I'm not crazy about the whole rear end
Janak SolankiSep 20, 2012 Not crazy about the lights on the back. I think they need to simplify it.
Description: Power comes from BMW's S65 V8, the same engine found in the E92 M3, only fitted with twin turbochargers and bored (like the M3 GTS and CRT) to 4.4 liters. This produces 402 horsepower, but if you...Add Comments11
Patrick SchalkSep 20, 2012 Well on CB fiberglass = cheap plastic as you have seen on all the Corvette articles.
Nick BenzSep 20, 2012 Theres a difference between cheap plastic and beautiful bodywork.
Patrick SchalkSep 20, 2012 So does this car deserve the " cheap plastic " designation too?
Michael KozlowskiSep 20, 2012 Earlier it didn't say they bored out the engine but just that it was the same engine from the M3, I understand what they did now.
Al TunguponSep 20, 2012 Italian styling with German engineering - a match made in heaven. If this is BMW's way of finally building their 911, be it M1 or Z6, then go ahead with it.
Al TunguponSep 20, 2012 So the M3 engine added two turbos and was bored to 4.4 liters, but power is down from 414 to 402?
Darryle MoodySep 20, 2012 The BMW S6540 engine is 4.0 liters, it said it's bore was increased to a swept capacity of 4.4 liters. The same capacity that powers the E92 M3 GTS which that engine designation is S6544. They just enlarge the engine & add turbos.
Ty PiperSep 20, 2012 they said it was bored out to 4.4L and fitted with twin turbos specifically for these cars.... I think
Aislin CooperSep 20, 2012 The S65 is the engine from the new M5 and M6. So I don't know where they switched the facts
Michael KozlowskiSep 20, 2012 Since when did the e92 M3's engine grow from a 4.0L V8 to a 4.4L twin turbo V8?!?

Nick BenzSep 20, 2012 Its probably supposed to be gecko green. But yea it does look like pond scum. Hopefully its just the lighting
Paul LissonaSep 20, 2012 Me either looks too much like a dirty pond color.
Jordan JacksonSep 20, 2012 Not digging the sickly green accents
Description: But cars like this are rare in every sense of the word. The Ferrari FF isn't quite the same (it has four seats, for example), and a used Z3 Coupe won't impress the way the GT MF4 will. A Mor...Add Comments1
