The BMW Z8 was not simply a visual highlight, the engine, bodywork and chassis technology were also impressive features. All BMW Z8 cars had a V8 engine from M GmbH (S62B50), generating 400 hp. The chassis and bodywork were primarily made of lightweight aluminium. The interior was luxurious and all the control elements and interfaces which the driver came into contact with were made of high-quality materials. Hence, the BMW Z8 was a vehicle where meticulous attention to details and sheer driving pleasure were expressed in a particularly authentic way.
