Leaked pictures of production Z4

[Nanu]

Like the sound, like the wheels and that's about it really.

I know this is going to upset a lot of people but seeing the soft top up I now know why all the promotional pictures were shown with it down. Looks really cheap and nasty.

Sorry

I believe the E85 has the sleekest profile because of the proportions I've highlighted in yellow.
Imo these over-hangs and arch heights are so important and give the Mk1 a lower more compact and classical 2-seater roadster feel.

The problem with doing what you've done there Colin, is that the images aren't to scale - the E85 is also at a slight angle which complicates matters further. I've rescaled the images slightly so that the proportions align with the real-world (e.g. E85 wheelbase = E89 wheelbase), rotated them so the cills are level and added some feature height comparison lines at various points...

Top work from both of you..

I really do think the nay sayers will be eating their words if they drive it, looks are obviously subjective and an important factor but is there any car that anyone cannot find fault with design wise..? Not many I’ll wager. Imho this car will be a perfect blend of sports car and cruiser with a lots of kit, will it be as nimble as a Boxster? Time will tell, but I don’t think it’ll be enough away from one, if at all, to put potential buyers off one. Once it’s gone to production with the options and paint it’ll be a success and that can only be a good thing, Porsche have had the upper hand for too long.... :lol:

The red black combo is doing the front no good. The frozen grey looks really good.

It looks *much* better in this colour combo...
