Weissman GT???

Is there such a car?

I ran across this photo online awhile back. Unfortunately the text was in Russian.
A quick Google search came up with only this reference:

"On another note was watchin Top Gear earlier and Clarkson was driving this beautiful car called the Weissman GT and he said "it turns like a Cylon Interceptor" - nice to see he's a fan."



So I searched Top Gear's site. Nothing

Is it a concept? Does it go by another name? I'm just curious what the rest of the car looks like and the specs.. I'm hoping maybe BlueEyes and Ike may know something considering their vast knowledge of cars.

There is a Top Gear test of the car on Google.

Yup, it's a good looking car. Too bad we'll never get it over here.

Looks like a Jaguar had mated with a TVR Speed 12 and this was the child. Since someone is going to say it sooner or later, I'll save those people the trouble. It looks like an RX-8.

I drove this car in Project Gotham 3 a couple of days ago. Drifts quite good and the engine note is great.

Top Gear said it had an inline 6. Or is that an older version?

It is nice though.

My favorite line of that video was, "Can Germany beat Russia to become the fastest Brit?"

Roadster has the M3 engine, GT has a BMW V8, not sure which one though.

Looks like a cross between the Crossfire and a Solstice.
