This is a terrible day for high-end, high-performance cars, so terrible that has red-flagged the BMW M1 Homage (which wowed the crowds at the Villa d'Este in 2008) and Z9 two-seater (which will be derived from the four-door CS show car from Shanghai in 2007), but the development work on the mid-engine Z10 continues.

Engine BMW Z10

The car is being engineered as a coupe and a roadster; both body styles are proper two-plus-twos with substantially more interior room than a Porsche 911. The target weight of the Z10 is in the vicinity of 3300 pounds. When the original supercar idea was outlined a few years ago, a twin-turbo V-8 was the engine of choice. But now that Efficient Dynamics is the name of the game at BMW, engineers are concentrating on a 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight six rated at 450 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque (basically an uprated version of the engine that powers the next M3) paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. Rumor has it that BMW is also toying with a twin-turbo V-6, which would be lighter and more compact, but those advantages are unlikely to offset shortcomings concerning prestige and heritage.

History

Z10 is the latest element includes aluminum and carbon fiber structure, magnesium chassis parts, and a compact hybrid system that uses an integrated AC motor / generator and lithium-ion batteries. A thermal management system that improves efficiency by preheating the oil with exhaust gas and the internal limiting airflow. For minimal aerodynamic lift and drag, ride height and a wide range of undercar spoiler and air deflectors are actively controlled.

BMW Z10 ED will also use to highlight the engine downsizing plan. "With the latest advances in turbocharging, direct injection and thermal technology, we are now able to produce a gasoline engine with a swept volume is relatively small with no decrease in performance over existing powerplants.
