BMW Z4 Cobra Concept... one beast of a car - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Not to wory there is no way in hell BMW will ever build anything like that for production. The car is a bit of a stretch in the design division and a bit outlandish. I would be curious to see what kind of options are being offered as sometimes those ideas make it to the show room floor.

very interesting, too bad the car is so small

I was thinking the same.

They should put a Nike Swoosh on the side, it looks like a shoe...

It's definately unique. I wonder how many years will pass before cars like these are filling the streets.

I don't care what anyone else says, I like it besides the wheels

castex · 12-18-2003, 02:59 PM

I like it too, but smelled a rat when I saw the front end - very last generation.

that is a beast alright

floydthebarber · 12-23-2003, 12:37 PM

That's one fugly car...how can anyone like it?

SVT01Cobra · 12-23-2003, 12:55 PM

Because it's sexy, look at the back end of it.

It looks more like a shark than a cobra to me.

First off, there's this thing called "technology" which lets car-makers have headlights that don't have to take up a square foot of space each, but will still put out enough light to see.
[/sarcasm]

If you'll look closely, you'll notice that the headlight *area* is actually right about the size of most headlights, it just doesn't have the mirror assembly. Perspective makes it look weird. This car looks great, except the area directly behind the front wheels needs to be tightened up a bit, it's closer to the ground than the front fender. Besides that, it looks great.

And I like the way BMW is headed, I used to look at BMWs and just shake my head in disgust. Every time I see a Z4 pass I watch it in admiration. BMW should keep up the good work!

Also, as to wether or not the image is just a CG model, that doesn't rule out its being an actual car at some point. Nowadays most concept cars are CG models first, it's easier to mess with. It's just harder to showcase a CG model than the full-scale pieces at car shows.

No way! Looks like a killer whale with a fat lip.
