German Car Zone

It sais June 10, 2008.. So we will know in five days..

As said before ... check my posts in CS concept & future BMW models / design threads (!):

BMW will preview another design study - the other pole of the design line. CS was the luxury pole, the other study will be the sporty pole: previewing the new Z8 - a large 2-seater roadster.

And as said many times: check California Spyder Concept + H2R Concept for the idea where the study is going.

Of course the study will showcase lightweight solutions, and enhanced EfficienDynamics solutions. The new super-coupe will be based on the new Z8. Lightweight solutions will follow solutions of Z29 concept by BMW Technik GmbH.


People, Scott & I have already told you everything. Read, and memorize.
I can't help if most of you forgot what had already been written.


Btw, I expected this study would be presented in one of the Chinese or Japanese autoshows this year, but this June 10th date is a suprise to me as well. But I guess BMW want to make a spectacle at the BMW Museum re-opening.

Glad BMW are showcasing more concepts lately, looks like a targa style roof which looks awesome.

Look spromising indeed, five days to go and we will know. Looks like a very agressively styled roadster. Maybe a study of what a Z9 might look like as already mentioned, maybe some styling elements are shown for the new Z4 to?

They showed these sketches about two years ago in L.A.

Indeed.
It's BMW California Spyder Concept by BMW DesignWorksUSA.

DWUSA got a task to pen a luxury roadster / spyder. And CSC is the result, and the sketches were presented at LA autoshow 2 years ago.

This Concept is just an update of the same idea, materialized - not just existing on a sketch.

It's looking spectacular already!

Exciting times for BMW fans

This concept pretty much confirms that BMW has an R8/997TT/SL63 fighter up their sleeves.

Having just spent a few weeks on this new baby's marketing approach especially on the Salt Flats in Utah , BMW's test tracks and Night shoots within the BMW Welt and the new Museum.

Here it is . What myself and Eni have been discussing regarding this segment. Low emissions . lightweight etc... I hope you like it it is purely stunning ... CS was the beginning , M1 Hommage was how to reinvent history , This is the future.
First we show the top end model which this will become a production car and we will also show a concept based on the introductory Z model . The reinvention of the Z car begins with the Z4 , The concept and purpose is to establish The Z models as pure bred sports cars , technology and dynamics will show the direction BMW are now taking with these models.
The Z range has been Funky but now the dynamics will match the looks.
The new Z4 heralds an exciting return to BMW sports cars , and future models will be equally satisfying , M-Division will be indeed the "pinacle" of the entire "Efficient Dynamics" programme.

The future of the BMW Sports car is about to become very exciting indeed
