Yes! (Young Engineers Sportscar; stylized as YES!) was a brand of high-performance sports cars manufactured by Funke & Will AG in Germany.

History

Herbert Funke & Philipp Will first designed the YES! sports car in their diploma thesis while attending Cologne University of Applied Sciences. The exterior design was developed by Oliver Schweizer. The first prototype was shown off at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2001 as the YES! Clubsport.[3] Starting in 2001, the YES! models were handmade in a restored hangar at the Großenhain airport.[4]

In February 2009, Funke & Will AG filed for bankruptcy,[5] which led to the liquidation of the company in April of that year. Marco Kunz, who was one of the first owners of the YES! Roadster 3.2, bought the assets of Yes! and founded YES! Beteiligungs- und Besitzgesellschaft mbH. Replacement parts were produced and plans to restart production of the second generation YES! Roadster were made. However, these plans did not come to fruition.[6]
