At City Magazine, we fell in love with an idea: an electric BMW Z4 that combines the iconic roadster silhouette with BMW’s futuristic Neue Klasse design. Inspired by stunning online concepts, we played around with the sketches and created photo-realistic renders that show our vision of the dream car. BMW, listen to us: this Z4 MUST become a reality!
The world of automotive design is in a state of flux. Designers like Luca Serafini (@lsdesignsrl), on Instagram and the X platform, they create concepts that leave us speechless. Their latest hit? A rendering of the new electric BMW Z4 in style New ClassWe at the editorial team went a step further: we took these inspiring sketches, reworked them, and created photo-realistic renderings that show our vision for the electric Z4. Our renderings aren't just sketches - they're so realistic you'd swear the car was already sitting in a BMW showroom.
What have we created? The electric BMW Z4
- Shape: Sharp, minimalist lines, subtle kidney grille, headlights that scream New Class, but they retain the soul of the Z4.
- Colors: Deep midnight blue with a matte finish and ambient lighting that emphasizes the futuristic character.
- Feeling: A car that promises the freedom of an open roof and electric power that keeps you glued to your seat.
Similar concepts are flooding the web, proving that we enthusiasts still dream of roadsters. Our renderings are a tribute to these visions – and a call to BMW to make them a reality.
Technology waiting for the Z4 – Electric BMW Z4
BMW platform New Class is an engineering marvel. It comes with Gen6 electric motors, an 800-volt architecture, and batteries with a range of up to 643 km (400 miles). The first model, the iX3, boasts fast charging (10-80 % in 10 minutes). But why limit this technology to SUVs? Our renderings show the Z4, which would use this technology for something truly special.
Specifications of our dream Z4: Electric BMW Z4
- Power: 400 kW (536 hp), for acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3.4 seconds.
- Final speed: Electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), with the option of a racing upgrade.
- Battery: 80 kWh, optimized for a low center of gravity, with a range of 500 km (310 miles).
- Filling: Fast charging with 350 kW power – full car in less than 15 minutes.
- Weight: Under 1600 kg, thanks to lightweight materials and compact engine design.
BMW already has everything it needs for such a car. “If you can make the iX3, you can make the Z4!” – this is our cry from the editorial office.
Inspiration from the web: Designers who guide us
The last few months have been a real renaissance in automotive design. On the X platform and Instagram, artists like Serafini have been creating concepts that remind BMW of what driving passion means. From futuristic lines to details like projected screens or adaptive lighting, these renders are more than just images – they’re manifestos. We’ve played with their sketches, built on them, and created photo-realistic renderings of the Z4 that could become an icon.
“Every concept is a call to BMW: bring back the roadsters!” wrote an enthusiast on X. Our renders are the answer to that call – and proof that the Z4 is still relevant.
A legacy that must live on
BMW roadsters are more than just cars. From the iconic 507 that captivated the world in the 1950s, to the Z3 that took James Bond on an adventure, and now the Z4 that still promises original driving pleasure. Our photo-realistic renderings preserve this heritage, but elevate it into the electric age. We imagine a Z4 that combines the silence of electricity with the power that gets your blood pumping.
Conclusion: BMW, make this Z4 – now!
At City Magazine, we are convinced: an electric BMW Z4, as shown in our photo-realistic renderings, is not only possible – it is necessary! Inspired by the sketches of designers such as Luca Serafini, we have created a vision of a roadster that combines BMW's technical mastery with a breathtaking design. With an output of 400 kW, a range of 500 km and an acceleration time of under 4 seconds, this Z4 would be a true legend.
BMW, we understand that SUVs make money. But a brand without a soul is just another manufacturer. So WE DEMAND: make this Z4 a reality! Price? Around 80,000 euros, but for a car that would redefine driving passion, that's a pittance. Our renderings are proof that it's time for action.
