We haven’t heard much from Wiesmann lately, but the company has been promising a new model for what feels like an eternity.
However, it’s been delayed as Wiesmann has quietly updated their website to say “Given the changes in the market over the last few years, a new exciting proposition will be announced soon.”
That’s not much to go on, but Wiesmann specified they will be unveiling a new model in 2022. Their website goes on to specify that “Alongside the new model, Project Gecko continues to be developed.” That suggests the automaker has two different vehicles under development.

The update was first spotted by Autoblog.nl and using the Wayback Machine, we can see the change happened within the past month. The old version of the website was focused exclusively on Project Gecko and noted the car was slated for release in 2021.
That obviously isn’t happening, but the old website noted Project Gecko would have a BMW M-sourced twin-turbo V8 engine that would be paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was slated to enable the car to rocket from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than 3.5 seconds and onto a top speed in excess of 199 mph (320 km/h).
All of that information has been scrubbed from the website, so it’s possible Project Gecko has undergone a rethink. Of course, only time will tell and Wiesmann says they’ll have more information early next year.
