BMW Z8 (1999-2003)
BMW started development work in the mid-1990s on a superlative roadster concept for the new millennium. The Z07 design study was first seen by
the public in 1997, and series production began in 1999, the car having already starred in a James Bond film as 007's chosen form of transport. The
styling of the Z8, which was supplied with a standard hardtop, contained echoes of an earlier classic beauty, the 507, but under its aluminum outer
skin was an array of ultra-modern technology, including an aluminum space frame and the high-performance engine from the M5.
