I like the curves, but let#s see what kind of concept that is - the "99% production ready minus the wheels, wing and concept bling", or the "nice but none of them will make it.." one. The Z4 concept seems to be more of the second camp, and given the BMW relation, well, I hope this will be less dull in production form.

God I hate those obnoxious wings. They completely ruin a car. Show me one car that has benefited from something like that...go on, I'll wait.

Exactly. We saw Supras testing with BMW interior parts...this shouldn't be news.

I wouldnt count it out just yet. Was the LFA ever seen much in Japan? Toyota is said to have a half buried dome somewhere at home with a small track for such testing. Just saying.

But you are aware the confirmed engine lineup consists so far of only BMW engines? With a ZF 8 speed auto - the default choice in BMWs? And it will be built in a BMW factory? Form the same parts?
