OmniAuto.it网站近日发布了宝马Z5合成图。宝马目前正在开发Z4替代车型Z5，该车采用软顶而非金属硬顶。虽然金属硬顶和织物软顶各有利弊，但目前的潮流是织物软顶，这种车顶不仅重量更轻，而且折叠收纳后占据的行李箱空间更小。从图片看，Z5比Z4更大。它同样拥有长长的引擎盖，向后延伸的大灯，更宽的双肾格栅，短后悬以及更低的座椅位置。除了敞篷版，Z5还将衍生出一款轿跑车版本。这两款车不仅将搭载宝马提供的引擎，还将配备丰田提供的混动系统。Z5标配后轮驱动，到哪可选装xDrive全驱系统。具体来说，该车将搭载四缸和六缸涡轮增压引擎。另外据传还将有M Performance高性能版，将提供四缸混动和水喷射系统，功率接近600马力。

 

BMW Z5 speculative render shows great potential

OmniAuto.it has decided to render a potential look for the upcoming BMW Z5.

 

Recent spy photos have shown BMW is hard at work preparing a direct replacement for the Z4 and is set to make the switch from a metal roof to a soft top. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but nowadays the trend is to go for a fabric roof as it saves a considerable amount of weight and also doesn’t take up a lot of storage space.

 

Bigger than the Z4, the first-ever Z5 will have a long hood, sweptback headlights, wide kidney grille, along with a short rear overhang, and a low driving position. The BMW Z5 is expected to spawn a coupe version if we were to rely on a report issued by Motor.es. That one will allegedly come out approximately one year after the roadster and both will use BMW engines, except for a hybrid derivative which is believed to use Toyota’s hardware. As standard, the Z5s will have a rear-wheel drive layout, with the option of xDrive available at an additional cost.

 

A selection of turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines will be on offer, and there’s also a juicy rumor about an M Performance variant using a hybridized four-cylinder with water injection to offer close to 600 horsepower.
