TC Kline Carbon Roadster

[Svensson]

Check out this carbon fiber bodied Z4 M Roadster! :D

The Carbon Roadster weights 2,680 lbs., has 346 hp and corners with 1.06G grip. Take a minute to soak that in. The CR weighs 150 lbs. less than a Honda S2000, has the HP of a Porsche 911, and has wider wheels and tires than a Ferrari F430. Incredibly, the CR weighs 700 lbs. less than a BMW M3 while maintaining the same power.

As you can imagine it's not only the body that they changed. The car also has a lighter aluminium flywheel, lightweight exhaust system which exits between the CF diffusors. In addition it has lightweight Recaro seats and upgraded suspension and brakes plus lighter wheels, so it could kinda be considered as some sort of a Z4M CSL...

They're planning to produce 100 cars, with a pricetag of ~$100,000.

I think it looks absolutely stunning, much prettier then the standard car. The styling looks very aggresive without overdoing it.

Doh! How stupid, I'll change it :o

I'll post them as soon as I find them! And I wouldn't recommend crashing, CF isn't the cheapest material around... :cry:

[Svensson]

That's how the Z4M should have been... wonder if they'll do the same with the Z4M Coupe :wink:

That's exactly what I was thinking :D

Awesome! Great idea.. but will this be available in the US?

And if it crashes, you'll be safe inside but will be crying because there will be no more body on your roadster.. I want one!

TC Kline are located in Hilliard, Ohio, so getting one in the US won't be a problem I guess :D

[dutchmasterflex]

I had a feeling it was American but was thrown off by your Location..

Now all I need is that 100 grand.. good find, I hope to see one in person ;)
