MUNICH, Germany -- BMW will unveil a concept for a range-topping sports car at the Shanghai auto show April 22. If it goes into production, the car will be called the Z9 and will compete with the Mercedes-Benz SL and Audi R8 sports cars. A BMW source said the company would like to sell 15,000 Z9s a year. BMW sold only 5,703 units of the limited-edition Z8 from 2000 to 2003, the last time the automaker offered a high-priced exotic sports car. A company insider said the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car will be a two-seat convertible with an optional folding hardtop. It also may be offered as a coupe. |
