谍照记者最近在华氏零下13度的斯堪的纳维亚半岛首次拍到了宝马Z5照片。由于原型车进行了重度伪装，因此无法看清车身细节。但可以看到，作为宝马Z4后继车型，该车仍保留了宝马敞篷跑车经典造型，包括长长的引擎盖，宽格栅，双排气尾管和折叠软顶。虽然该车是由宝马和丰田共同开发的，但宝马版本和丰田版本之间没有什么共性，两款车都采用了独特的内外装造型。新车动力系统选择预计将包括2.0升四缸涡轮增压和六缸涡轮增压引擎。另外据传还将有混动版和M高性能版，功率达到425马力。目前Z5仍处于早期开发阶段，而量产版最早将在明年发布。

 

BMW Z5 spied for the first time

Spy photographers have braved temperatures of -13° Fahrenheit to bring us the first pictures of the highly-anticipated BMW Z5.

 

Snapped in Scandinavia, the heavily camouflaged prototype gives us our first glimpse at the new Z4 successor. Unfortunately, there isn't much to see but the model will retain classic roadster styling cues including a long hood and a wide grille. The prototype also has a dual exhaust system and a retractable soft top.

 

BMW hasn't had much to say about the model lately but the car is being jointly developed with Toyota. Despite sharing the same platform, the Z5 and the Toyota variant will have little in common as both are slated to have unique styling inside and out.

 

Engine options remain unconfirmed but are expected to include a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a turbocharged six-cylinder. There have also been rumors about a hybrid and a high-performance M variant which could have up to 425 horsepower.

 

The BMW Z5 is still in the early stages of testing but it is believed the production model could be unveiled as early as next year.
