Z10: Anybody else getting turned on by this?

¶Pho€nix · 11-03-2006, 12:25 PM

"BMW’s last supercar was the M1 back in 1979. That car was the first car produced by BMW Motorsport, which makes the M-cars like M3, M5 and M6. The BMW M1 had a 3.5 litre inline 6 24 valve engine that made 277hp at 6500rpm and 324Nm of torque at 5000rpm. Tuned versions could make up to 850hp.

Now with it’s involvement with F1, BMW naturally would go what the other car manufacturers in F1 are going to do, make a Supercar. Toyota has it’s Lexus LF-A and Honda has it’s new NSX coming down the lane. BMW’s new Supercar is going to be called the Z10. BMW has set development targets for the Z10 to be a rear/mid-engine Supercar powered by a V10. The V10 would be likely a tuned up version of the advanced M5 V10 5 litre engine that won the 2005 Engine of the Year award. Targeted performance figures are 550hp and a curb weight of 1200kg which gives the car a power to weight ratio of 458bhp per ton."

Im completly and uterly turned on by that

But I think the design of that drawing is too standard supercar for BMW, and likely they would make something that looks completly different from the ordinary

Agreed, although I am very turned as we speak, it looks to day-to-day BMW for them to make, and I know that they wouldn't be outdone by Audi's R8. Or should I say Lamborghini's R8. Lol, so I expect the final concept to look alot more extravagant. And for it to carry a $150+ pricetag. Thanks for this picture, I have never seen it.

It's also amazing how far we've come since 1978... The M1, a supercar then, produced what BMW's "regular" 3-liter straight sixes produce today. Just amazing. And just think of what the "regular" hydrogen engines of 20-30 years from now will produce... Now that will be amazing. I'm just afraid governments will at some point step in to put in stop-gaps to the near-endless power and torque output that hydrogen engines will offer...

Best regards,
