I see your point Gad but I think the S is pretty much an embodiment of all things driver. Then make a 'drivers' version.

A pretty tasty proposition for me - but yep, 27k does scare me a bit. Maybe a used one at 19 may be a little easier to swallow.

 

Commercially sensible, Bada; remember BMW are readying the Z2 for the same market. The previous gen. Z2 had to be cancelled because of the Rover fiasco.

The Z4 was supposed to be six-pot only and BMW is disappointed with its sales. Yes, I know I could pop down the town & buy a dildo from the sex shop and a set of 1/12 scale wheels from the R/C shop & produce a better-looking scale model of the Z4 at a fraction of what it cost BMW to do it, but that's not the point.

 

If they took the Electronic power steering out and put in a similar design to the ITR it would be a major step forward. Probably too expensive though.

Why not just make two? An S2000 (I suppose 2 litre is the minimum you would want now to compete with an MX5 with 1200kg+), and an S3200 for the big boys.

 

depends what that means

strip out the aircon and sound deadening

stick a few type R badges on it

I'm not that feckin naive

they would need to get it down to 1000kg

and up the power

to get my attention

I confidently predict they won't

You'll probably be right. It'll be a last run for the tooling moulds with a few bits out and a few bits stuck on.

I imagine the best way to find out would be to talk to an NSX fan. What was the major diffs (aside from cosmetic) between the NSX and NSX Type R?

 

yep

remember the 'Jordan' Civic?

 

New car looks horrible!
