Identify the automobile company that uses this logo.

Wiesmann GmbH is a German automobile manufacturer based in Dülmen, Germany. The company was founded in 1988 by two brothers, engineer Martin Wiesmann and businessman Friedhelm Wiesmann. The cars are manufactured by hand in Dülmen. The Wiesmann logo portrays a gecko, as they claim their cars "stick to the road like geckos to a wall".

The company originally manufactured custom hard-tops for convertibles, which they continue to do. The first roadster left the workshop in 1993. As of 2006, they produce the Wiesmann MF 3 and MF 30 roadsters and the Wiesmann GT MF 4 coupé, all of which utilize engine and transmission components supplied by BMW. The company makes 180 cars in a year by hand.

Never heard of Weismann. Knew it wasn't the other three.

Never heard of this car, nor the gecko as an auto mascot. Wouldn't Geico insurance company find this a conflict of interest?

David Stallard

Imagine that, couldn't even post a photograph of anything other than the logo?

Challenging question. Grew up in Germany a long time ago, never heard of this car though. 👍

Can't say I've heard of Weismann cars. So after answering, I wiki'd it. They look like early Jaguars or Bugatti's. Good question, this. Especially putting Bugatti as a choice.
