Weismann Roadster vs. TVR Tuscan | Top Gear - Part 1

"Rear wheel drive at the back" Good.. That's where it belongs

[@LysergicCasserole95]

These kind of reviews are what made top gear. The grand tour needs this

[@Area-5l]

Jeremy: I’ve been in beds with more equipment than this. It’s even got roll up windows. Weismann: than that means there less things to go wrong with it. 💯 If only car manufacturers these days had that mentality

[@ultranobody5549]

*Wiesmann

[@kartikbajaj5497]

A wiseman once said!!

[@alanjm1234]

But it has ABS, traction control and stability control - all things that CAN go wrong, and if they do, can disable the car. When electric windows stop working you can still drive home.

[@nonotherthananother]

This scenes are epic, for first car the scenery was astonishing and then the music and true waltz with TVR. Well done Jeremy, and shame on you BBC !!!

[@breaktoby]

That's really bad...it's called a Wiesmann, not a Weismann!

[@theoriginalt-paine3776]

So it a "howman" rather than a "whiteman" (Yes, I know the word white is spelled with the eszett character, and the word for how has no s on the end. the point still stands."

[@MrOhcock]

You must be German...

Not for the last 107 years it's not.

Marcos are not made any more, other than the piece of rubbish 220 prototype getting around, They need to do a modern 'continuation' Mantula or LM model, big front engined in tradition. They test Lotus occasionally. MG don't have a sports car any more.

Cristian Gamboa, are you even serious or just stupid? The name of the company is Wiesmann. It is pronounced and spelled Wiesmann. English speaking people are just incapable of speaking or spelling other languages correctly.

@thdmtr TVR in any form hasn't made a car since 2006. This piece was from Top Gear Series 6 from 2005. The Tuscan 2 was a revised version of the old Tuscan reimagined under the new ownership. The last model they made was the Sagaris, which was designed and tested completely under the new management and ownership.

[@Maurice_Moss]

they say less to go wrong, yet it has the sequential gearbox from the m3 which are renowned for breaking

where

[@nez9751]

My relative had one (TVR) it was very fast and very loud, but nothing worked on it. We went out in the rain and the wipers stopped working, the doors regularly wouldnt lock or unlock , the electrics were crap etc etc, but it did look and sound great.

Some pretty harsh comments about the TVR here! I always liked the TVR look, from the Griffith onwards. And this Tuscan's as curvy as a '40s bombshell with lights that look as if it's packing two .303s and a brace of 20mm Hispanos, love it ha ha ha!!!

Good - I'm pleased for you. But just remember this: in a 1 Km drag race you'd need binoculars to see the back of my Chimaera, I'd be so far ahead. The MR2 is a good mid performance car. But the TVR is simply in another dinension as far as performance is concerned.

You're right,though looking at the Weismann again, the body style is somewhat similar to the Bugatti 57G Tank.

[@josephlewis9237]

I'd have the Weismann. It reminds me of the Jaguar XK120. I actually think, on the Cool wall, they'd have to make a whole new or separate section for that car.

[@anthonydallape]

The Wiesmann defiantly takes some inspiration from xk120 Jaaaag. So i agree with you sub on that. But there is defiantly no Lexus in it.

you are right ... he does like 99% of the time. I do love Top Gear. But what you said is exactly my point...is not a Russian car... the new owner is a Russian that is complete different things ...

[@moonkef]

I owned a tvr chimaera then moved to an e46 m3. They handled pretty much exactly the same.

[@quentinlynch]

The Wiesmann is surely not the fastest car in the world, but definitely one of the best built and imho best looking cars!

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

TVR has made a career off of making cars that make similar power to a Corvette, weigh 1,000 pounds less than a Corvette, and run lap times 15 seconds slower than a Corvette, as well as needing expensive repairs every 2 miles, due to their superior British engineering and handling. Wait a second...
