Final thoughts: why can't BMW make a car like this?

Wow. Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing these pics!

BMW used to make something like this. Too bad the Z8 isn't made anymore. Such a beautiful vehicle.

I know, right? New age Z8 would rock!

Took this a few months ago btw:

Such a perfect expression of a "Mercedes" sports car. I think they nailed it. Looks even better in person.

In love with this car. Ive never seen one with those rims, I actually like them. Reminds me of these F12 rims.

Funny thing, I think the lines are very Z4MCish, not unlike many classic sports car designs. That thing is a beast though, I might even have it over a new Porsche. Luckily a choice that's not one I'll likely have to make unless my lottery ticket pays off.

pretty car
i for one think it has nothing on a z4 coupe... a car that still looks fresh and mean a decade later

I don't think it's trying to be pretty, it's one mean German muscle car, which is in completely different league and subsequently price range from the Z4

That said, if MBenz doesn't change their design language drastically, the AMG GT will look modern for quite some time.
