Z Series AC Schnitzer 99d is a $205,500 BMW Z4 Fitted with a Diesel Engine

[Bartek S.]

AC Schnitzer says the 99d can go from naught to 100km/h (62mph) in 6.9 seconds en route to a top speed of 235km/h (146mph), while returning an impressive fuel consumption of 3.8lt/100km (61.9 mpg US) with CO2 emissions of just 99.18 g/km.
To achieve these striking numbers, the German tuner also reduced the roadster's weight by 230kg (507 pounds).
"With the AC Schnitzer 99d, we've succeeded in building the previously inconceivable: an up-rated performance vehicle whose CO2 emissions have been reduced to 99 g/km and which, despite its sustainability, offers pure driving pleasure. That's Efficient Performance by AC Schnitzer," the company said in a brief statement.
According to the tuner, the price of the 99d is €149,000 or about US$205,500 at today’s exchange rates, but that's about all the details AC Schnitzer is willing to release before unveiling the car at the Geneva Salon.

Great specs, but the price is quite high, if take into account that it can "only" reach 235k/h...

 

[Cashmere]

not forgetting the ultra gay colour schemes.

not forgetting the ultra gay colour schemes.

That is true, but the colors actually make the car look MUCH better. Still you would have to be a certified FOOL to pay $205,500 for a Z4.

Why are those specs so impressive? I see nothing that would warrant the use of the word "impressive."

Color scheme...I mean, do I need to say it?

 

[Levi68]

The specs are impressive, maybe not as mich as the BMW i8 but still. Would be much more impressive with M3 drivetrain and engine. Come on BMW, please a Z4 Coupé to compete with the TT , 370 Z, Cayman, ...

How atrocious.

 

[mini_cooper4]

Impressive is the weight reduction: an impressive 230kg.
Still too expensive

Well, it's not everyday you see a non-hybrid car that can do 0-62 mph in 6.9 seconds and 62 MPG.

Nice The German HP war has taken a green turn - an MPG war is so much more 2011.
