BMW Z8 specs

Wow! Never seen it in red.

There is no this lap time on “Auto Bild” 06/2001. We can find the only one test of BMW Z8 on Nordschleife “Auto Bild” 18/2000 without information about lap time.

(This article from “Auto Bild” 18/2000)

Also we can find in my opinion absolutely true lap time by Horst von Saurma on 20,600 m configuration of Nordschleife on “Sport Auto” magazine issue (08/2000) — 8 min. 18 sec.

So if we can, please — fix it.

With a drag coefficiency of 0.39 this might as well be the closest thing we have to a German Dodge viper. Quite fitting considering it had no roof just like the first gen.

The comparison lists for BMW and Mercedes have run out of room. Z8 and Z4 models can no longer be used in comparison.

@fastestlaps this is not on the model list

Ah, the BMW Z8, I love this car, it's my favorite BMW, they should put it back into production and offer a hard top version.

I really want to see this car reborn, the successor of the legendary 507. Why I remembered it? Cause I've found out one article which is subject about possible old good retro cars' reborns: http://www.autobild.de/artikel/autos-die-uns-fehlen-teil-4-3766071.html
(Click "Zur Bildergalerie" to watch the list, if you don't verstehen German)

Had no idea where to put the article, so it's here to remember this nice future classic from BMW, which I liked the best from that list.

I really want to see almost all of the retro successors introduced! I loved how does also both MB C111 look, Opel Manta, Opel Commodore (it looks like a Mustang!), Fiat Spider, Alfa Sprint....

The limited top speed is 155 mph.
Limiter removed: about 185

Not really my kinda car, but here are some official performance stats for ones ya dont have.

Tested by American Car Magazine, Car&Driver and MotorTrend.

0-100mph 10.2
1/4 mile 12.6 at 113mph
Top Speed Unlimited 165mph.

you forgot all the safety equipment and luxury ammenitys. most cars are heavy Because they have all those things. and its a good thing. better to be safer than sorry. dont get me wrong, it would be better if it were lighter, but say if you were to crash without those safety things, well you get the picture, and no improved laptime is worth yo life.

How does this little car with no roof weigh 3500lbs????????? Is the trunk full of bricks???? A car this small should only weigh 3000lbs MAX.

this car...looks...good? Ummmm, are we looking at the same car?

Do you see many in Germany? They are a very rare sight over here in the UK although I saw my second on the road this morning.... it did look good but the guy should have had the roof down as it was really hot!

I own a M6 a 760 and a Z8. Whenever i drive with the Z8 and there is crowd they tell me how they love this car. A Viper or a SL65 are nice. But a Z8 is THE CAR. btw. this car is 8 years old and is still competitive with many new cars.

how do you know what people have driven? A

U have never driven a car like that, so why do ya make such comments?! Holy crap

r u talkin bout the RT/10 or the SRT-10

the dodge viper GTS roadster is much better and sexier

Dam it looks so sexy! One of the most beautiful roadsters of all time. Such a shame it doesn't drive as good as it looks.
