More of a preview than a review, but Matt Prior does a good job, as always.

Dynamically it looks promising and although light on details the engine sounds promising. Let's hope for a manual option for those so inclined.

Aesthetically this is exciting me more than the Z4 at the moment (which I am not thrilled by but slowly warming to, in the right colours).

I don't have the money for a new Z4 or Supra. If I did I would probably put it into a second hand R8 over either. I don't think they surpass the Z4M, from what I have seen so far...

Enjoy the video

Well the latest photos of both the roadster and coupe have not swayed me from my preference for a coupe

Although I never buy new, so give it 2 years and I’ll buy a top of the range one with less than 10,000 miles on it for 50% of its new price...again.

My thoughts exactly!

I watched the development car pounding around the ring last year , in fairness it's a better looking car than the z4 equivalent, somehow looked a little smaller but I'm guessing that was just the camo doing its job and a lack of soft top . It was going very well and looked to handle very well , but the driver was a paid professional so it should have looked good

Can't get into this car, especially with a lack of manual box being mooted.

I think I will stick my F-type or 911 aspirations. Car also looks small to me and the FT-1 concept was a lovely looking thing. The disappointment from concept to reality must have switched a number of people off this.

Well even with all the silly camouflage it looks like a proper sports/muscle car. The new Zed 4 could be in for a hard time.
