Wiesmann recently came back from the dead with the all-new Project Thunderball EV roadster but the revived brand apparently has plans of further expanding its model range. More specifically, Roheen Berry, CEO of Wiesmann, admitted they are looking into a fully electric SUV, alongside the successor to the MF3 sportscar that could be ICE or EV.

The Wiesmann CEO told Autocar that they are closely watching the SUV market: “I think there are quite a few SUVs coming. We’ll see where the market is, if there’s a demand, and if we want to move into that space”.

A Wiesmann SUV would target rivals like the Lotus Eletre and other upcoming high-riding EVs from luxury automakers. It would be focused on the US and Chinese markets where demand for this kind of vehicle is steadily rising.

The new EV-dedicated platform underpinning the Wiesmann Project Thunderball was developed with the help of Roding, bringing plenty of power and range, alongside 300kW DC fast charging capability. This architecture could serve as a base for other future models by Wiesmann, with Roheen Berry adding: “We’ve spent so much money making this platform and software, and getting so much out of it. We’re not in any hurry, but if we have enough customers and there is a demand, it would not be a very difficult transition for us to do.”

Besides the electric SUV, Wiesmann is actively looking into the second generation of the MF3 sportscar. The entry point to the Wiesmann range could get a “much more affordable version” in the future, which would make it accessible to a wider audience. The firm has not yet decided if the new MF3 will use an electric powertrain or a combustion engine supplied by BMW, which will depend on the emission regulations. Still, there is no word on the MF6 sportscar that was set to use a BMW M5 powertrain or the V8-powered Project Gecko

The German brand is coming out of its troubled past hoping to increase production and sales. Electrification brings new possibilities in terms of expanding the model range with Roheen Berry saying that development times of EVs are shorter than in ICE-powered vehicles allowing them to do “more cars at a far quicker rate”.

While Wiesmann wants to increase its production volume, they don’t want to make “thousands of cars”, hoping to retain its luxurious positioning and “community feel”. As described by the CEO, “It’s not about going and making massive profits. It’s about really reviving the brand and keeping it around forever”.
