Spy Photos: BMW Z9, Hardtop?

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Its name may not be certain (Z6 or Z9?), but these new spy shots make it quite clear BMW's new upscale roadster will come with a retractable hardtop. The prospective Mercedes SL challenger is expected to debut in 2010 — though pricing is equally uncertain, considering we've heard rumors ranging from $90,000 to $150,000. There's little doubt BMW plans to install its V10 somewhere in the range, though whether a base model will get V8 power also remains to be seen. Ah, sweet conjecture, what would we do without you?
