Z8 Review
Dear all,
I test drove a Z8 today; almost all day with a friend of mine and my C4C so we switched regularly; fantastic
The day was nice (France) so both of us were top down.
Here are my impressions:
Before all: Much better than the SL55 which I testdrove two weeks ago, read my review on the Sport cars section.
Style: You love it or hate it, very much Neo Retro but I like it and so did the people, all eyes on the Z8, nothing for the poor C4C
Noise: Great You were right Christian, much better than the SL55, sounds like a dragster, great in the tunnels
Interior: Very nice, BMW quality. The only weird thing is that the rev is the middle so it's tricky to keep an eye on the road and the revs (who cares about the speed, haha, )
Performance: The car is very heavy, so, definitly not as nimble as the C4C, but the straight line performance is staggering , very comfy as well, definitly more a GT than a sports car. I personnaly prefer driving the Porsche.
And the best for the end:
The Engine
What a gem!!!
Incredible, power at all revs, very linear, so sweet...
5 Litres V8 with 400 hp and plenty of Torque.
Great great car but remember, it is not a sport car.
Voila,
Fanch.
PS: Oh, one last thing, great sound system, Harmann Kardon. But the whole GPS, radio, phone device is very slow to operate.
And also, the car looks terrible with the hood up
