宝马Z9概念车将在上海车展亮相 BMW to unveil Z9 Concept at Shanghai Auto Show



宝马将在4月22日开幕的上海车展上全球首发Z9概念车。Z9定位于高性能运动型跑车,竞争对手是奔驰的SL级和奥迪R8(我还以为BMW也要出跟SLR竞争的超级跑车呢,太胆小了吧!)。
根据Automotive News的内线消息,宝马希望Z9达到每年15000辆的销售量,超过Z8的5703辆年销售量。Z9将会是双座跑车,前置引擎,引擎可能是来自M5和M6的5.0L V10,也可能是全新的6.3L V12。

BMW will give a preview of a possible flagship sports car with a new concept vehicle that’s expected to make its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show on the 22nd of April. The concept is said to hint at an all-new production vehicle that’s likely to carry the Z9 moniker and will go head-to-head with high-end sports cars such as the Mercedes-Benz SL and Audi R8.
Speaking with Automotive News, a BMW source stated that the company hopes to sell up to 15,000 Z9’s per year, a significant leap over the 5,703 annual units of its Z8 roadster ,the carmaker’s most recent attempt at selling a high-priced flagship sports car. According to the source, the new Z9 will be a strict two-seater and feature a front-engine RWD configuration with an optional folding hard-top.
Possible prototypes of the car have been spotted in Germany, which reveal a long-nosed roadster with short rear overhangs and M-style vents on the fenders. A base model is expected to feature the 335i’s potent twin-turbo straight six, but it’s still unclear whether the range-topper will get the 5.0L V10 from the M5/M6 line or a new 6.3L V12.
