BMW Z9

The BMW Z9 (or Z9 Gran Turismo, Z9 GT) is a four-seat coupe concept car with a body made from a carbon-fiber skin over an aluminum space frame. It was introduced in September 1999 at the Frankfurt Auto Show. At the 2000 Paris Auto Show, a convertible variant of the Z9 was debuted. It was designed by Adrian van Hooydonk under manage of Chris Bangle, who was promoted to Director of BMW Group Design. The Z9’s design heavily inspired the design of the E63 6 Series.
