Manufacturer Press Release
|
world debut full of emotion ? precisely this is what BMW is presenting at the Frankfurt Motor Show: The BMW Z4 Coupe Concept Car, more than any other exhibit, clearly represents and embodies the motto of the world¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s largest car show: the Thrill of Motoring.
Presenting the Z4 Coupe Concept, BMW is establishing new trends in terms of design, concepts, and technology. And with its performance truly outstanding in every respect, the Z4 Coupe Concept Car clearly bears out all the classic values of the BMW brand. Considering the consistently growing market for high-profile premium sports cars, finally, the decision to build such an emotional two-seater Sports Coupe as a regular production model is almost obvious.
The long and sleek engine compartment lid, the passenger compartment moved far to the rear, and the short overhangs front and rear impressively visualize all those classical attributes so typical of BMW: Within the engine bay lurks a longitudinally mounted straight-six conveying its power to the rear axle in the interest of supreme driving dynamics. In conjunction with the car¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s long wheelbase and the centre of gravity visibly moved far to the rear, the Coupe right from the start creates the impression of a top-flight athlete urging forward with all his energy.
The Concept Car is powered by BMW¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s new 3.0-litre straight-six developing maximum output of 265 bhp and peak torque of 232 lb-ft. Acceleration from 0?62 mph is expected to take only about 5.7 seconds, with the car¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s top speed ending at the 155 mph (250 km/h) mark applicable to BMW¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s production models.
Equipped with the most advanced and sophisticated suspension control systems, Electrical Power Steering (EPS), as well as a high-performance brake system, the Z4 Coupe Concept Car is able to use all its power safely and reliably. The extremely stiff bodyshell, in turn, ensures driving dynamics of the highest standard, together with a level of above-average crash safety quite unusual in a sports car.
Contrasts, not Comprises: Dynamic Also in Design
The fascinating aesthetic look of the Z4 Coupe Concept Car is based on the highly expressive design language of the BMW Z4 Roadster. Indeed, the interplay of concave and convex surfaces merging in powerful and striking lines gives the body of the car not only unique character, but also a touch of clearly perceptible dynamism even at a standstill. The flowing roofline, in turn, characterizes the BMW Z4 Coupe as a classic coupe with its centre of gravity moved at least visibly to the rear axle.
The recess in the middle of the roof, in turn, reinforces the sporting look and character of this classic coupe, the combination of these elements giving the car a touch of forward-oriented dynamism from every angle: The BMW Z4 Coupe is low, fast and, at the same time, elegant in its looks.
The glazed part of the passenger cell referred to by experts as the ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çgreenhouse¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u visibly tapers out into the rear end, accentuating the rear wheel arches in a powerful and muscular look. The spoiler designed into the rear lid, in turn, ensures optimum aerodynamics and streamlining, with the third brake light integrated beneath the spoiler in the rear lid. A further effect of the spoiler and brake light is the additional emphasis they give to the sheer width of the car¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s rear end.
Dynamism for Your Senses: the Z4 Interior
Giving great attention ? and, indeed, love ? to detail, BMW¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s color and trim designers have created a unique interior tailored in every respect to the BMW Z4 Coupe Concept. The most modern materials in first-class quality are combined with one another exclusively for this Concept Car, offering features and highlights never seen before. Hence, the sophisticated interior points far into the future of interior design with all its potentials.
Like the exterior, the interior of the Z4 Coupe Concept uses contrasts instead of compromises to generate the sensation of dynamism and excitement. The use and combination of materials and colors harmonises the technical and sporting features of the exterior with soft and harmonious elements within the interior, thus creating a world of peacefulness and tranquility.
Matt and glossy surfaces form intentional contrasts intermingling with the numerous solid aluminum units inside the car, extending the technical features and fortes of the Z4 Coupe visibly far into the interior. And at the same time soft, top-quality leather in warm brown colors exudes the feeling of being cocooned within this Ultimate Driving Machine. ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çCold¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u high technology and ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çwarm¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×u cosines ? in this case this is not a contradiction in terms, but rather a harmonious blend of supreme qualities.
A Concept Car with a Good Potential for Entering the Market
Designed consistently for the sporting and ambitious driver and conceived for active motoring, the BMW Z4 Coupe Concept Study gives its occupants a direct feeling for the road combined with pure driving pleasure. At the same time the most advanced technologies on the drivetrain, suspension and safety system meet all the demands of even the most discerning coupe customer. And last but certainly not least, the Z4 Coupe Concept offers adequate space and all the motoring comfort and convenience even the enthusiastic aficionado of a thoroughbred sports car would not like to miss these days in a sporting two-seater of this caliber.
