BMW Z4
The Z4 is the real deal for speed lovers. It not only looks like a proper sports car but promises to deliver blistering performance like one too. The long bonnet which hides the straight six-engine looks terrific as does the cabin. Quality is fabulous but there's space for only two, in true sports car style. The new
BMW Z4 is much more than an evolution of the car it replaces. BMW believes that the bigger dimensions, folding hard-top - its predecessor had a fabric roof - and adjustable steering, throttle and chassis settings are essential ingredients to make the new Z4 appeal to a wider audience. The Z4 will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre engine with 306 bhp and a 7-speed semi-automatic gearbox, so performance will be blistering to say the least. Though the car has already been launched in Indian in October 2009, we still have added the convertible as it would make its impact in 2010.
