Description
The YES! (Young Engineers Sportscar) sports car was the result of a thesis project by Herbert Funke and Philipp Will, who studied automotive engineering at Cologne University of Applied Sciences. With the help of design student Oliver Schweizer, who designed the exterior of the YES!, a marketable project was created. The first prototype of the YES!, the Clubsport model, was presented at the 1999 International Motor Show in Frankfurt am Main. The vehicle concept was a purist sports car without a roof or other usual comforts. Due to the low weight achieved by these measures and the comparatively high engine power, it was also described in press reports as a motorbike on four wheels. Following this trade fair, the company Funke & Will AG was founded in Grossenhain in March 2000. From 2001 onwards, the YES! models were individually handcrafted and delivered to their owners in a restored 1930s hangar at Grossenhain airfield. While the first generation was only available with a turbocharged 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine, the second generation from 2006 onwards was equipped with a 3.2-litre VR6 engine – both engines came from the Volkswagen Group. On 4 February 2009, Funke & Will AG filed for insolvency after building around 200 vehicles. The roadster on offer was first registered on 3 July 2008. With an unladen weight of 1’050 kg – thanks to its aluminium monocoque and GRP body – combined with 255 hp, a 6-speed gearbox and an adjustable sports suspension, the YES! is the perfect machine for driving on winding mountain roads. The history of the roadster is unknown. An existing logbook shows that it was taken over with 9’225 km on the clock by a previous owner, who drove it for around 3’000 km. In 2025, the YES! was taken over by a lady who has hardly driven it. The rare sports car currently has around 15’500 km on the clock – however, the odometer has reset to 0 due to a low voltage – and is in good original condition with signs of wear. The last Swiss MOT was performed in April 2022.
