Quote: "BMW to build new Z10 Supercar (09/08/05)
BMW are to build a new Rear/Centrally mounted V10 rear wheel drive Supercar. Not since 1979 has BMW made a Supercar with the M1, but sources at BMW have revealed that a new Supercar, likely to be called the "Z10" is firmly on the drawing boards. Production could even be at the Rolls Royce Goodwood plant as it already has capacity to build another car. Using a highly developed version of the latest M5 & M6 V10 5.0 litre 500Bhp engines, increased by another 50cc's could make the new V10 capable of developing 550Bhp. Using the latest lightweight materials including aluminum & carbon-fibre throughout weight could be kept to 1200 Kg & have the power to weight ratio of 458 Bhp per tonne. Burkhard Goschel the head of BMW's development is said to "offer the ultimate in lateral dynamics", & must be cable of out performing the V8-powered M3 & Z4M. It will use the latest electronic & mechanical aids to enhance it's road holding capabilities & wind tunnel development will ensure aerodynamic down force is a priority. Active spoilers & venturi underbody will ensure the cars sticks to the road like an F1 car. BMW hopes to keep the price within £90,000 price bracket& sales should start in 2008."

So how does it look like? You got a sketch?
Can't find the site with the pictures, but i did a search on google. I found two very different looking cars claiming to be the Z10. So... which one is it?

Ah, site is up. Car looks like it goes way fast. Looks are really sharp too.
However, it looks like BMW went through the used part store and scrapped together body panels from existing cars, mostly their own:
The front looks too similar to a 6er. Especially the hood, and the side mirrors, even the windshield area.
The front skirt kinda reminds me of the front skirts of the new Audi's.
The side looks so much like a 6er, except for the side intakes.
Just behind the seats look just like a Z car, I guess it should since it's called the Z10.
The rear and the side grills are the most original looking parts of the car, and the rear looks uncannily like the Audi Lemans (Audi RS9).
It's a great looking car, but for the money, the looks are disappointingly unoriginal. Does that make any sense?  Overall, it just doesn't have that exotic supercar look, the way Ferrari and Lamborghini look like supercars. I'd go with the Audi Lemans (Audi RS9) when it comes out.... uh assuming I have the cash for either car.

Looks too much like a Toyota MR2 from the back.
They need to bring back Henrik Fisker for this one.
