After a long absence, Wiesmann is back in action. We got behind the wheel of the Project Thunderball EV roadster to see if it's a brand to look out for
-engined hot rods. You can cycle through Eco, Normal and Sport drive modes, altering power output, and there’s a Launch Control mode and five levels of regenerative braking, toggled via paddles lurking behind the same wheel you’ll find in a modern Morgan .Sparking the Thunderball into life is simple.
Allow me to explain. The current preoccupation with electric performance cars seems to be turning their facet of instant torque into gobsmacking performance. Objectively, a 2.5-tonne SUV dumping near-supercar levels of power instantly to the ground is quite a feat. But for those of us who love engaging with the minutiae of a car’s responses, it’s like having a rug whipped violently from beneath as those violent launch control systems engage. It can actually be quite nauseating.
