What are the chances of a droptop i8?

What are the chances of a droptop i8?

Quite possibly will be it. We've already been teased it in the wind tunnel.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Yeah, because the silhouette certainly looks like an i8, and it certainly seems like the right time to do it.

It could be the new Z4

It was reported back in May that Pebble Beach would see the reveal of the G29 Z4. The i8 Roadster (i15) is for 2018 I believe.

... speaking of which ...

The unveiling of the World Premiere of the sporty and progressive BMW design study encapsulates the BMW Group’s vision of a modern roadster. According to Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design, “The concept expresses the new BMW design language from all perspectives and in all details. From the dynamic-looking front to the striking flanks to the clean-cut tail end: a few lines and the subtle interplay between surfaces are enough to generate a sense of power and emotion.” The series-production version of the car is set to be unveiled over the course of next year.

Looks to be the new Z4, yeah, especially in that squat body shape.

And thus I continue to wait for the i8 roadster.

Is this the car Toyota is sharing with the new Supra or is that a different BMW?

The 8 Series concept is supposed to make its N. American debut this week as well in Monterey.

Is this the car Toyota is sharing with the new Supra or is that a different BMW?

Yes, G29 Z4, J29 Supra, same joint venture architecture.

The headlights and grill setup reminds me of Kia

I guess that's what BMW is doing with the new Supra.

We already have a thread for the new Z4.

Back is OK, front looks like a F Type with a body kit. Bit overdone compared to the clean current car. Guess it will be toned down for production though.
