That was my first thought as well. SL55 or 65, perhaps...

The Audi Le Mans should be another competitor.

500 HP, AWD, about $80k

It is basically a Gallardo at a lower price.

No doubt. I just caught the rear emblem. Looks like a Bimmer. They 'll probably stick the V-10 motor in it from the M-5.

Looks like a merc SL! (-.-)

Expected...seems like the latest trend among car-makers these days is to exchange design cues with one another. Disappointing, but hey look at the bright side, at least it isn't Bangelized!

It's a photoshop guys, it won't look like that. We'll see what BMW comes up with, looking forward to it even though it won't be very soon.

they are all marketing to different niches, for some people, however cliche sounding it is, there is no substitute for what porsche represents... heh no jokes now...

in any case, i've always loved the super Z's Z8/Alpina roadster was sublime, dynamics could have used some help, but it was worth it. almost as beautiful as the DB9

True!

As you can see, that's the cover of the German car mag "Autobild". They always show far-fetched photoshops which have nothing to do with reality. Keep that mind whenever you see something with the name Autobild on it.

It is the new Z8 with the M6 engine. If the M6 it is already a close match to the 996TTS, imagine with the new Z8

Nice SL design- would never be hatched out of BMW camp otherwise it would be sporting a Bungle bustle.
