BMW Z4i M35
Joining the luxury automaker’s M Performance family, BMW’s upcoming roadster is set to carry over the same powerplant as the M135i. That being a 3-liter, six-cylinder engine capable of revving 320hp and 450 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. It’s also said to feature a sweet high-tech package including a TwinScroll turborcharger, VALVETRONIC variable valve control, and much more. Its appearance should be more on the aggressive end thanks to its M-tuned chassis and suspension.
2014 Lexus IS
Taking fashion cues from the LF-CC concept, Lexus’ third-gen car will carry the title of smallest sedan in Toyota’s luxury division and be available in two models: a four-cylinder IS 250 and a six-cylinder IS 350. The latter is said to be mated with a eight-speed automatic transmission and direct-injection V-6, which generates up to 306hp. Rumors have a hybrid version in the works as well.
