The BMW Z8 was a homage to the original BMW 507 Underpinning the Z8 was the running gear from the E39 M5. That meant a 394-hp, 4.9-liter V-8 that also mustered 369 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission and driving the rear wheels. The Z8 would crack 60 mph in four seconds and go on to a BMW-limited 155 mph. Deactivating that limiter would allow the Z8 reach 180 mph.
