The Z8 features bodywork designed by Henrik Fisker with inspiration from the BMW 507 roadster, and the aluminum body panels are mounted over an aluminum spaceframe. This example is finished in Jet Black and features a black soft top. Additional equipment includes xenon headlights with washers, front fender air extractors with BMW roundels, polished mirror caps, dual exhaust outlets, and neon taillights and turn indicators. The rear window is foggy, and the seller reports that a brake light and the trunk lid struts were replaced during their ownership. A replacement rear window is included in the sale along with a convertible top boot.
Staggered-width 20″ Alpina Ronal wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 255/35 up front and 285/30 at the rear. The four-wheel disc brake system is equipped with Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), and additional features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and All-Season Traction (ASC). Dry rotting is noted on the tires.
The cabin features black Nappa leather upholstery that extends from the heated power-adjustable seats to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include leather-wrapped roll hoops, air conditioning, and cruise control. An Alpine CDA-9857 CD stereo featuring satellite radio connectivity has been fitted and is connected to two Alpine PDX amplifiers as well as an aftermarket equalizer, subwoofers, and speakers. Speakers are said to be mounted to under and behind the seats, and the seller reports that the navigation and car phone systems have been removed. An Xstatic Batcap battery for the sound system is located in the trunk, and scratches inside the ashtray are noted.
The banjo-spoke steering wheel features silver trim within a leather-wrapped rim. Centrally mounted instrumentation includes a 155-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 30k miles, approximately 10k of which were added under current ownership.
The 4.9-liter S62 V8 was shared with the contemporary E39 M5 and features double-VANOS variable valve timing for a factory-rated output of 394 horsepower and 368 lb-ft torque. The performance package added a front strut tower brace and supports. Service in preparation for the sale reportedly consisted of changing the oil and replacing the thermostat, fan blower, and power steering hoses. The car passed a California emissions inspection in October 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
Manufacturer’s literature accompanies the car in the sale along with accessories, a battery tender, a tool kit, a first aid kit, spare parts, magazines with Z8 articles, and a coffee table book that features a matching VIN sticker.
