News: BMW Zagato Roadster


Pure sex
Before you start decorating your walls with pictures of Jessica Alba and the Aventador J, I'd let you in to another lustful object, BMW Zagato Roadster - The 2nd Z4 venture between BMW and Zagato. In just six weeks, Zagato has made a topless version of the Zagato Coupe that previewed at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Six weeks! It's like writing an award winning one thousand word essay in 10 minutes.

Space for two. That's all you need
Nice view
What differs between the coupe and the roadster is the back and the top. In the coupe, the rear just didn't cut it for me. Everything seemed beautifully crafted except for the behind which seemed a bit too tall and retarded. The roadster though did not simply have its roof cut off but was redesigned. Hence, a prettier butt. That aside, this car shares almost everything else with the Coupe except for the fact that it has a fabric roof instead of a metal one found in the Z4 hiding under the double bubble Zagato cover. The interior is a Z4 as nothing has been changed aside from its leather. Nothing has been revealed too about its engine but most probably has a 3.0l straight six powering its wheels.

Better looking behind
As you would find in its coupe counterpart, this is a car you would drive to a 6-star hotel and have a valet park it for you right in front of the hotel's entrance. In short, attention-grabbing-elegance. This is the car James Bond would drive if The World Is Not Enough had a remake. And no, I'm not saying the Z8 is ugly. I'm just stating that this car would fit like a glove in the lifestyle of James Bond and the likes just like the Z8. Cigar in one hand, playmate in the other, this car is that lifestyle.

P/S: No mention about it being in BMW's production plans. Shame.

I'm in love
