宝马将在今年8月16-20日举行的原石滩车展期间发布Z4概念车。内部编号为G29的新一代Z4是由宝马和丰田共同开发的，其中丰田自己的版本命名为“Supra”，这将是一款轿跑车。这两个版本的原型车已经被谍照记者拍到过多次，但即便如此，由于车身进行了重度伪装，至今无法弄清楚造型风格细节。最近拍摄的照片显示，宝马Z4采用软顶，而在仪表板上的规格表上显示，该车功率为145千瓦/195马力，扭矩320牛米，与引擎搭配的是六速手动变速器，宝马车迷又可以欢呼了。
BMW Z4 Concept Heading To Pebble Beach This August
BMW phased out the Z4 back in August 2016 and it won’t be until the end of next year when the roadster will be brought back to life with the same moniker. To ease the wait, a concept is going to be introduced at this year’s Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance set for August 16-20, so we are only a few months away from learning how the roadster will be transformed for what will become the third generation.
Developed under the “G29” codename, the new Z4 is a joint effort between BMW and Toyota, with the latter set to have its own version of the car likely bringing back the legendary “Supra” moniker and offered as a coupe. Prototypes of both cars have been spied multiple times already, but even so it’s still difficult to get an idea about the styling because all test vehicles had an abundance of camouflage.
That being said, the latest batch of spy shots did allow us to find out some preliminary technical details of the BMW model. Caught earlier this week, the roadster featuring a soft top had a specs sheet on the dashboard to reveal its “S20i” identity and an output of 195 horsepower (145 kilowatts) and 236 pound-feet (320 Newton-meters) of torque. The gear lever belonged to a six-speed manual gearbox, so purists will be happy to hear BMW is doing its best to save the manuals.
The same piece of paper also indicated the model’s SoP (start of production): November 2018.
