The new BMW Zeta-Concept!!

[sliderulz]

The 5.0 is a Hartge special. They shoehorn a M5 engine into a standard Z4 (they don't do this though) There was an article on teh Hartge 5.0 in evo magazine.

The RSQ concept looks eerily familiar to the Le Mans concept from the same manufacturer.

Audi Le Mans concept

👍 Two thumbs way up 👍 for their design and execution.

While BMW's =

See the Shelby Supercar thread for mention of the Audi LM. A brillantly executed design. Very much opposing the traditional supercar wedge-shape.

Thank god, that that's only a concept imagin seeing them all over the streets!

It's not even a concept, it's a fake, someone's just messed around with the Z4's design and made it crap.

 

[Rx7Ownz]

hmmm is it just me, or is that BMW fugly as hell. the Audi looks ok.

 

[Dave A]

The BMW is ugly but don't worry about seeing one on the street, you won't.

Damnit people! This guy is right ^

It was some guy's project for a design course somewhere! I could say that all of my drawings are the real deal and all of you will be saying how they suck and they kill the company's legacy.

It could even be a real picture for all we know. Transportation Design students also have to learn how to make models, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 etc. Maybe even 1/1!!!

Please stop posting ugly cars.

 

[240Z freak]

Please.
Why would someone even take the time to make that hideousness?

NO IT'S NOT!! It's as if you teacher told you to write a short story, and write it as if you were Shakespeare. You guys are taking this as one of Shakespeare's works. It's not!! It's far from it. I can see the guy's intensions, he's going for a muscle car, BMW branded. The front nose is horribly off, but that he will learn. Maybe someday this guy will be working for Bangle...

Umm, this actually is an official BMW design, as in it was produced by a designer (yes, working under Bangle) doing concept sketches for the Z3 replacement, the Z4.

If you look at this car, you can see where the ideas for the Z4 have come from during this concept stage. In particular, the balance of the car's styling and its proportions (especially front-to-rear balance), more agressive headlights, and Z strike lines running along the front guard to the door, sweeping down to the bottom of the wheel well, then along the base of the door.

I saw the 2D renderings of this EXACT design in a magazine called Deutschland in an article on German car design. The renderings were supplied by BMW, and the signature on the pics was neither Bangle's nor van Hooydonk's (sic?) (van Hooydonk is the guy who designed the 7).

THIS CONCEPT RENDERING COMES FROM BMW.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Rendered?!
It easily fooled me.

 

[[]AzNDrifter[]]

rendered ? lol that totally threw me off there

 

[eliseracer]

Alias/Wavefront and other high-end programs are really amazing.

Picture? Nope, render

 

[eliseracer]

Sorry, here.
