The 2012 Z8 is a 2-door, 2-passenger convertible sports car, available in one trim only, the convertible. The features that stand out on this model certainly have to start with the 4.9 DOHC V8 394-hp powerplant under the hood. This is tied in with a 6-speed manual transmission that puts all that power straight to the ground via the rear wheels. This combines for claimed 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds. The mileage ratings aren't stellar at 13mpg city and 21 mpg highway. Other standard safety features are the side airbags, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, 18-inch wheels, fun-flat tires with pressure-warning system, BMW's Cornering Brake Control and antiskid systems, and a navigation system with audi prompts but no video-type dashboard display.
