2010 BMW Z4 [Spied and Illustrated]
It’s been a while since BMW engineers have been seen out testing the next-generation Z4, but apparently the sports car’s development is still on track — despite being hidden for the last few months — as spy photographers spotted a Z4 prototype while out testing on Wednesday.
The latest spy photos don’t give too much away — as the car is still heavily clad in camouflage — but we’ve also included an illustration of what the final product will likely look like.
Since the new Z4 rides on the same platform as the 3-series, look for the Z4’s engine lineup to mirror that of the 3-series. A high-performance Z4 M will once again be offered and, for the first time, it is believed that BMW will offer a diesel-powered Z4.
Unlike the current model, look for the next Z4 — due out in late 2009 — to sport a retractable hardtop roof to better compete with Mercedes-Benz’s SLK roadster.
As we have reported before, the Z4’s production will shift from the U.S. to Germany when the new model bows.
