Saw one of these in the flesh today, surprisingly very compact but wide... possibly the closest non bmw spritual successor to the z4mc in shape and form ...

They're really stunning. My friend has just got one in white , at 22 or 23 years old ! Life isn't fair. Ha ha!

But yes, gorgeous car, the rear end is a master piece ! And the sound as you can imagine is crazy.

Yeah definitely looks like a Z4MC clone, specially from that angle.

From the rear it has a hint of porka too. Definitely some inspiration from other cars creeping in, coming together nicely!

Absolutely love them, I'd certainly have one if I had the spare cash.
I like most cars with the long bonnet, sloping roof coupe profile. They just look so right!

I have seen and sat in the AMG GT in the flesh, and having owned a supra I am not sure I agree.

I do agree that the styling is similar to the Z4 though.

It would definitely be a successor to the Z4 for me, if only I had the money :cry:
Supra twin turbo, great in a straight, rubbish around twistys
NSX, pretty cool but no heated seats and can't get top down
Z4 23i sdrive, now gone, got the wrong car, need more power.
Z4 35is loved and missed
Z4 M40i one word sums it up Wow!

Lovely looking car! (But I wouldn't want one).

I feel too young for any Merc just yet - I want to operate a clutch and manual gearchange while I still can! :lol:

THAT is bloody gorgeous!

BUT, I'd have to get the "proper" version of course;

These look significantly better in the metal than in pictures. If some extra cash were to come my way :thumbsup:
