BMW has unveiled at the Concours d\u2019Elegance at Pebble Beach 2017 the new BMW Concept Z4. The attention-grabbing design study offers a look ahead to the series-production version of the car set to be unveiled over the course of next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cThe BMW Concept Z4 in an all-out driving machine,\u201d said Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. \u201cStripping the car back to the bare essentials allows the driver to experience all the ingredients of motoring pleasure with supreme directness. This is total freedom on four wheels. 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,\u201d adds van Hooydonk.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The car adopts classical roadster design cues, such as a long wheelbase, a low-slung, stretched silhouette and a compact rear end, wraps them in a fresh, confident package and enriches them with the contemporary BMW design language. A shorter bonnet ensure the driver sits closer to the centre of the car than in previous roadsters. This gives the new proportions a focused, sporty and agile feel.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The kinship between the interior and exterior of the BMW Concept Z4 is evident in both forms and colour scheme. The design language of the interior takes the powerful, three-dimensional character of the exterior and adds another voice to the dynamic chorus. The driver\u2019s seat as well as the door trim panels, instrument panel and centre stack that encircle the driver are finished entirely in black, meaning that they stand out prominently from the coordinated orange shades of the exterior and the rest of the interior. Together they form a clearly defined area that wraps around the driver like a capsule, producing a very sporty sensation.<\/p>\n<\/div>
