2012 BMW Z4 Zagato Coupe Concept.

The BMW Zagato Coupé is a collaboration between auto enthusiasts – a BMW seen through the eyes of Zagato. This comes through in the design of the car, hallmark design cues from both companies merging to form an emotion-laden coupé in the best Zagato tradition

 For the new concept, BMW partnered up with famed Italian design house Zagato to create the BMW Z4 Zagato Coupe Concept. Zagato might be best known for their work with Aston Martin, however with the Germans their design did not disappoint.

The hand-built BMW Z4 Zagato Coupe Concept boasts a "vmax concept" design, meaning that it sports a very aerodynamic shape while maintaining its street-legal status. It takes classic design cues in the form of a long hood and roof line combined with a short rear end.

 The body is built from hand-crafted aluminum. Finished in an intricate black-based red finish, the Rosso Vivace has never looked this good or deep before. It rides on a set of 19-inch five-spoke wheels.

In terms of motivation, all BMW mentioned was that the BMW Z4 Zagato Coupe Concept runs on a "high-performance engine."
