First year of production for Wiesmann ‘Project Thunderball’ sold out

The entire first year of production of the Wiesmann Project Thunderball, the world’s first all-electric luxury roadster, has sold out.

The classic two-seat, rear-wheel drive, whose order book opened in September last year, will go into production in 2024 at the company’s Gecko facility in Dülmen, Germany. Prices start from €300,000, while first customer deliveries will begin in 2024, the company said.

The German-engineered roadster’s dynamics are aided by packaging the two electric motors in a rear-mid mounted position, which have a targeted total output of 500kW (680hp) and 1,100 Nm of instant torque to deliver a 0-62 mph (0-100km/h) acceleration time of just 2.9 seconds, the company said.

Powering the motors is a state-of-the-art, 800-volt, 92kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This enables an exceptional targeted range of 500km / 312 miles (WLTP), along with the convenience of super-fast charging of up to 300kW (DC), it said.

“We knew that combining the timeless design, luxury, and hand-crafted finish that Wiesmann is renowned for, together with a state-of-the-art electric powertrain that delivers exceptional performance, range and charging and our own technology, including the innovative regenerative braking system, would result in a truly captivating and iconic car,” said Roheen Berry, Owner and CEO of Wiesmann. “To have already sold out the first year of production proves the unique appeal of Project Thunderball and represents a phenomenal start to a Wiesmann’s new, electrified era.”

Revealed in April 2022, Thunderball is the world’s first all-electric luxury roadster.  Featuring a classic two-seat, rear-wheel drive layout and lightweight carbon fibre construction, this is a car that delivers the performance, responsiveness, and engagement that enthusiasts demand.

Each car is co-created along with the customer, to ensure that the result is as individual as the customers themselves, the company said.
