Spy photographers have snapped the 2018 BMW Z4 on
numerous occasions, and now X-Tomi Design has created a rendering of what the
model could look like.
Dressed in a beautiful shade of blue, the rendering
depicts a stylish roadster that adopts BMW current styling philosophy. As a
result, the car echoes the rest of the lineup by adopting a more prominent
grille flanked by familiar-looking headlights. We can also see a sculpted hood
and a sporty front bumper with large air intakes.
The aggressive styling continues further back as the
front quarter panel has a large vent which hints at something powerful under
the hood. Other notable features include muscular rear fenders, a prominent
character line and a large set of alloy wheels.
The next-generation Z4 will ride on a new platform
that is being jointly developed by BMW and Toyota. The company hasn't shared a
lot of details about the model, but BMW Americas boss Ludwig Willisch recently
hinted it will be offered with a six-cylinder engine. Nothing is official,
however one possible candidate is the company's 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo
inline-six which produces 335 hp and 450 Nm of torque.
