https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...cept-in-geneva The Supra we all know of will not happen. So the upcoming Supra will be a Z4 sized compact coupe/vert. Toyota will not have the Supra compete in that longer wheel based, sports coupe segment as they have the LC500. BMW has the 8-series now, so hence the shared chassis will be a Z4. Here it is at Pebble Beach last year with the 8er:

Finally the wait is over. Overall beautiful but the back is a bit overstyled. Hopefully it will be here in a few weeks at the NY autoshow. Cannot wait to see it in real along with the MB GT 4 door.

Instead they made the Hofmeister vertical, which annihilates a great deal of the inherent elegance and dynamism that the profile was meant to embody, by adding unnecessary bulk/muscle around the C pillar that makes it visually higher, shorter and almost forward-leaning. Which ultimately moves it far away form the elegant Aston Martin Rapide and closer to Maserati and the Kia Stinger Could easily have been perfect but they had to ruin it.

The underlying car looks to be very nice, but wow did they take every piece of trash from the tasteless aftermarket and put it in this car. I wonder which market this car is trying to appeal to.
Csl duckbill spoiler. Check. Exhausts protruding from bumper. Check. Blacked out tail lights. Check. Chameleon paint color. Check. Fake yellow headlights. Check. Honestly surprised they didn't put spinners on it.

This thing looks other worldly. BMW even knew that with those pics and I'm having a hard time believing its not a drawing.

BMW press release..
The face of the new BMW 8 Series is evident in the new Concept’s front-end graphic. The contours of the radiator grille kidneys broaden as they descend towards the road, emphasising the car’s low centre of gravity. As on early BMW coupes, the kidney elements are linked by an unbroken grille surround, creating a large single element. The headlights are positioned slightly higher than the kidneys and give them the impression of sitting lower, which further emphasizes the car’s closeness to the asphalt. In contrast, the gold-coloured kidney surround brings an added air of exclusivity to the front end you... Quote:

I agree on the angry faces of cars, what happened to happy faces like the old days of e46 M3’s, e39 M5, etc Headlights getting smaller and stretched out, kidney grills getting bigger... Overall it’s a good looking car, I’ll buy one, can dream about the 6.6 V12 Though😃 |

You have yellow headlights on a green car. They're not musicians because no one can play the guitar

BMW just designs a M8 which is totally new from the scratch. And yes, BMW did destroy MB's newly born car. Good luck MB, next time.
