2017 BMW Z5 gets rendered

BMW Z5 / BMW Toyota sports car rendering / Automedia

Slated to be the first sports car jointly developed by BMW & Toyota

The jointly-developed BMW and Toyota sports car is inching closer to production so our artists have created a rendering of what the model could look like.

Expected to be a Z4 successor, the rendering depicts a stylish coupe with an aggressive front fascia and a twin-kidney grille that is flanked by sweptback headlights. Moving further back, we can see a long hood and a rakish windscreen that meets a double bubble roof.

BMW and Toyota have been tight-lipped about specifications but previous reports have suggested the model could use a carbon fiber tub similar to the i3 and i8. There have also been rumors that the car will eschew the retractable hardtop and adopt a conventional soft top. If that doesn't float your boat, there have also been whispers about a coupe variant.

Engine options remain unconfirmed but the car could be offered with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that has outputs of 190 bhp (141 kW), 245 bhp (182 kW) and 270 bhp (201 kW). There's could also be a high-performance Z5 M which could use a turbocharged six-cylinder engine with roughly 425 bhp (317 kW).

Will be shown alongside the facelifted CX-5 & Mazda6

Mazda has released the first teaser image of the CX-3, ahead of its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19th.

Destined to become the brand's entry-level crossover, the model promises to exude "beauty and sophistication" thanks to a Kodo design that produces a "sharper form with an enhanced sense of speed." That's not much to go one but the sketch shows a stylish crossover with a prominent grille, curvaceous bodywork and what appears to be plastic body cladding.

Mazda declined to mention specifications but the CX-3 is expected to be heavily based on the Mazda2. This means there could be a variety of engines including:

• A 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-G with 75 PS (55 kW) and 135 Nm (99 lb-ft) of torque


• A 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-G with 90 PS (66 kW) and 148 Nm (109 lb-ft) of torque


• A 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-G i-ELOOP with 115 PS (85 kW) and 148 Nm (109 lb-ft) of torque


• A 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-D with 105 PS (77 kW) and 220 Nm (162 lb-ft) of torque

Besides confirming plans to introduce the CX-3 in Los Angeles, Mazda announced plans to stage the world debut of the facelifted CX-5 and Mazda6 at the show.
