Bloomberg asked for more details from the company, but Toyota said that the technical feasibility study had been “successfully completed”.
Although there are many rumors about this jointly-developed sports car it is expected that it will be a replacement for BMW Z4.
The Z5 has been tentatively called the model and is believed to have a carbon fiber tub that’s similar to the i3 or i8. The model will likely have a soft top, but there are rumors of a coupe version.
Although engine options have yet to be confirmed, speculation suggests that the car could come with a turbocharged 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine. It can produce outputs of 190 BHP (141 kW), 245 BHP (182 kW), and 270 BHP (201 kW). A high-performance Z5 M could be offered with a turbocharged six cylinder engine that produces approximately 425 bhp (317kW).
