Another Bangle-disaster...

Absolutly ugly car!

[RXBG]

jesus. looks more like a Z8 each time- which is to say boat-like- does it come with an outboard and paddles? someone had better tell bangle to quit smoking the cheap THC and get the good stuff.

I don't think its THAT ugly..., it will be great seller, that's for sure!

What woryes me is that Z4 M will be having 4.0l V8 420 hp engine under bonnet... TT RS will have to go up against that.

I think that would be the wrong way.... lighter and efficient that`s the way... Audi is doing well there

don`t think the V8 will get that much customers

It's no worse than the last Z4. Oh, wait a minute, it was butt ugly as well.

from that angle (from behind) it looks very much like the actual SLK.

[darkart]

From behind: what is this? A VW Scirocco?

Hope S65B40 will be applied on Z4M.
It weighs 202 kg (445 lb): 15 kg (33 lb) lighter than S54B32, while also being shorter.

Just read there's won't be a coupe-version (given the tin-folding top) and unlikely even an M-version. Enginge bay is too small to fit the V8 and next M3 will run a twin turbo 6, so the new Z is pretty much stuck in the middle for now... (Source: CAR Magazine)

Wow, this is definitely an Audi forum. How is this an ugly car, based on the first pic?? Substance, please...

what can I say..... :harass:

[The RS6]

I kinda like it too...looks good...

[Z07]

Maybe one that hasn't been crashed will look better.

[frikktion]

at first i didnt like it at all but now like it... besides the rear end, but thats something that i will learn to like.

I am impressed, Audi really has some homework to do on the TT before they can reach this. Even if you deny its nice look the difference in performance w/o discussion :race:

[Mockenrue]

So what do we think of the interior?:

[frikktion]

no one does it better in my opinion.

[AndyBG]

This little ''ugly'' car isn't that ugly, I'm afraid...

...And it will be offered with 3.0 turbo engine as ''regular'' Z4. It looks like Z4 M will be V8 powered, after all...

[rks838]

I like the exterior, it's evolutionary without being vulgar, but I don't see any cohesion to the design inside. The angles/lines/curves/shapes, and contrasting colors, have no common "language" to them, though the steering wheel seems to be the main culprit...

[itisme]

i think roadster wise BMW is doing a really great job. This Z4 looks really nice.

Just see Z1, Z3, Z4 old and new, Z8 they are all very good looking in my eyes.

I like it!


owning a Z8 :heart: ok I'm dreaming...

[Leadfoot]

It doesn't look all that different from the last one, maybe a bit better styled but still not TT looker.

Would I take the TT/RS over an M version of this?

In a heart beat.

There’s a small article in the current issue of MOTOR magazine that claims the TTRS will “be good for 4.5sec sprints to 100km/h”
That’s impressive.
