Found this online.
It's photoshopped but interesting none the less.

What do we think??

More 370Z with a big nose, than E86.

I know which one I prefer. :wink:

Its a Supra Z4 hybrid, rather than a Z4 coupe.

(From what I can tell about the Supra, it is a Z4 with a body kit and a roof...)

The render does not have the side wheel vent.

I think the a G29 Z4 coupe would be really good looking, but even more niche than the convertible.
I reckon the E86 was the last, but its a great looking car still.

From what I have read they are quite different cars, built on a shared platform. :)

Possibly, I’m no expert on these things.

I saw a video of one, it has all BMW controls on the inside, then same powertrain. Maybe they are tuned differently?
Eitherway, not a Toyota fan myself. Its a bit of grandad brand!

Once a powered rolling chassis was up and running BM and Toyota went their separate ways to design the rest of their respective cars as they saw fit with zero input from each other. :thumbsup:

Saves Toyota having to spend on interior design and build, just buy from BMW. :thumbsup:
