blogentry-114362-0-83941600-1501559395_thumb.jpgThis shadowy image is our first look at BMW’s next-generation Z4 roadster. BMW has revealed the teaser pic on Twitter and although it doesn’t give away a huge amount, we can see some of the drop-top sports car’s lines.

 

The super-long bonnet extends into a steeply raked windscreen and an almost targa-like roof shape. There’s a pointy buttress extending above the cockpit, and the almost Porsche Carrera GT-alike rear end looks like it has a similar light structure to the Concept 8-series revealed at Villa d’Este in 2017.

 

BMW says it will be revealed very soon, which might be at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California – where BMW has a history of revealing show cars.

 

It shares its technology with the next-generation Toyota Supra in a strategic partnership between both brands. BMW will have a convertible-only Z4, while the Supra will be sold only as a coupe, giving the two brands more clear water.

 

The production-ready Z4 will have a range of engines including a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 194bhp and 236lb ft of torque. A six-speed manual gearbox has been spotted in some spy pics, but we can expect to see BMW’s eight-speed auto, too. There may also be a Z4M version, likely to feature a turbocharged straight-six with around 450bhp.

 

If it makes it here, we can expect the Z4 to arrive our shores probably somewhere in a year or so.

  • It's okay, you're just feeling ambivalent

    I almost always struggle to describe my state of mind when asked to consider how I'm feeling. How do you express emotions that exist together but work in opposition to each other? When invited to join a gathering with friends, I delight over the prospect of catching up but also yearn to be lounging at home. I'm inspired by an accomplished co-worker yet envy her. I feel happy about a new beginning but nervous and, at the same time, sad over the closing of a chapter.  It's complicated. A
