As reported by BMW
Whitby , ON – As a dramatic follow-up to the launch of the highly-acclaimed new BMW Z4 Roadsters in spring of 2009, a new BMW Z4 sDrive35is model will make its world debut at the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, introducing one of BMW’s fastest and best-handling Roadsters ever.
The latest Z4 model is powered by a high-output version of the BMW Twin Power Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine featuring increased air intake flow and boost pressure, generating more power while maintaining the same standard of efficiency. These engine enhancements combine with twin low-mass turbochargers and High Precision direct injection for an increase in output to 322 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and peak torque of 332 lb-ft delivered from 1,500 –4,500 rpm.The BMW Z4 sDrive35is will sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds (preliminary figure).
The revised engine management system of the BMW Z4 sDrive35is includes an electronically-controlled overboost function that briefly increases torque under full load by another 37 lb-ft, for a temporary torque peak of 369 lb-ft, giving the Z4 sDrive35is a significant increase in acceleration at highway passing speeds.
The exhaust system of the BMW Z4 sDrive35is has also been tuned specifically for this model. With special baffles and a unique set of mufflers, the acoustic engineering results in a very unique sound pattern across the speed range, characterized by a deep rumble with a focus on the low frequency sound range.
The BMW Z4 sDrive35is offers outstanding power and performance without an increase in fuel consumption or emissions. Its figures are expected to match those of the BMW Z4 sDrive35i with Double-Clutch Transmission on the EPA test cycle. Additional BMW EfficientDynamics technologies employed on the Z4 sDrive 35is include Brake Energy Regeneration, Electric Power Steering, and on-demand operation of engine accessory units.
Standard 7-speed Double-Clutch Transmission and Electric Power Steering
