Last week, the BMW Z4 Zagato Roadster has been revealed at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California.
Based on the Zagato Coupe shown at the Concorso d’Elleganza Villa d’Este in Italy earlier this year, the Zagato Roadster is the latest project car which spawned by the collaboration between BMW and Zagato. It was constructed in just six weeks and looks a lot like its fixed-roof sibling.
However, compared to the Coupe, the Roadster adopts a lower-slung rear end and an extra line, which the German carmaker says, "forges a visual connection" between the sill and the rear apron. Last but very important, it has a soft top which supposedly incorporates Zagato’s signature twin domes.
The interior comes with black and brown leather, embroidered seats and contrasting stitching. In addition, embroidered "Z" lettering and brushed aluminum can be found all around.
"Our success in finishing the car in such a short space of time shows what is possible when two successful companies pool their resources," says Andrea Zagato. "BMW is a high-achieving carmaker boasting a vast well of knowledge and technical capability in this area. When you combine that with our expertise in the creation of micro-series, everything is in place to produce a beautiful model like the BMW Zagato Roadster in double-quick time."
BMW didn't say if the brand has any plans to produce the Zagato Coupe or Roadster.
