The new BMW Z4 will be the first of BMW's sportscar collaboration with Toyota, which will also produce the next iteration of the Scion FR-S. While the Toyota sportscar will come with a hardtop, the BMW Z4 roadster will sport a soft top. The new sportscar architecture is based in the highly scalable matrix platform that revolves around a single fixed point, the front firewall. From Japan comes support with the electronics and optional hybrid drive for the Z4, while BMW will provide their expertise in lightweight materials and engines.

Design-wise, BMW will stay true to their roadster characteristics while adding a polarizing and futuristic design. We expect the BMW Z4 to be unveiled yet in in the first half of 2018 with sales starting shortly thereafter.
