THE VERY STAR of the Paris Motor Show is the German BMW Z4. Traditional roadster with front-engine and rear-wheel drive under the bodywork. Design is just as roadster true – a looong bonnet, short cabin and short tail.
“We tried to give the Z4 exiting, traditional lines with out making it a retro car”, says designer Anders Warming.
From Day 1, next spring, motors are all 6-cyl. inlines from the BMW 3-range. Later, in two year, 4-cyl. versions may follow.
The car looks all right on paper and on the screen – but we ensure you having studied the car in Paris for hours, it looks even better in 3D. And with the line of powerful 6-packs it must be as fast as good looking.
